Overview of Weekly EA FC 26 Division Rivals Rewards

In the latest season of EA FC 26, participating in the Division Rivals continues to be one of the best ways to earn packs, coins, players, and more. Based on player feedback, developers have introduced several new features like the "Bonus" rewards and made positive changes to the Rivals Rewards system. The core principle of Rivals remains unchanged; you will still compete against other players to earn points, climb divisions, and receive increasingly better rewards at the end of each week.

This article will outline the rewards you can earn in Season 2 of EA FC 26 UT Division Rivals as weekly bonuses or bonus upgrades at different ranks and divisions. Furthermore, you'll learn when you can claim your Rivals rewards, the difference between weekly bonuses and bonus upgrades, how to enhance the quality of your rewards, and the changes made by the developers regarding the Rivals rewards.

Detailed Division Rivals Rewards by Division

Every week, you can participate in Division Rivals and compete in the known ten divisions (plus the top-tier Elite division) to earn exciting rewards. As you ascend through the divisions, you can expect better rewards, including improved player packs, player picks, and FC 26 UT coins. Additionally, you can qualify directly for the FC 26 Weekend League through the divisions.

The developers have made some adjustments to the Rivals rewards system again, although none are drastic. Most changes, such as the introduction of new prizes, are quite promising. Here's the breakdown of rewards available in various divisions during Season 2:

EA FC 26 Rivals Rewards Explained – How and When to Claim

In EA FC 26, you can participate in Division Rivals weekly to earn exciting Rivals rewards. The mechanics are largely similar to previous seasons, but developers have made favorable adjustments in response to community feedback. Here's what you need to know about how the performance factors into your rewards and how to maximize your experience.

Weekly Rivals Rewards: How Weekly Bonuses and Bonus Upgrades Work

Your Rivals rewards are determined by two primary factors. The first, and most critical, is your division ranking, which you must achieve by Thursday at 8:59 AM. You have until this deadline to compete and potentially move up to higher divisions for better rewards. Conversely, dropping divisions results in less rewarding loot.

The second factor affecting the quality of your Rivals rewards is the Rivals points accumulated over the week from Thursday to Thursday. As in previous seasons, you earn three points for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss. The new prizes will also give you additional Rivals points for completing certain challenges. Depending on how many points you accumulate, you will receive either the Weekly Bonus or the Bonus Upgrade.

Unlocking the Weekly Bonus
The Weekly Bonus is your basic loot. You only need to collect 15 Rivals points, which can be achieved ideally with five wins. Feel free to play as many matches as desired to reach this milestone.

Unlocking the Bonus Upgrade
For the Bonus Upgrade in EA FC 26, you need just 30 Rivals points instead of the previous 45, which means achieving at least ten wins. While the requirements are higher than the Weekly Bonus, so are the rewards, usually resulting in double the coins, an extra pack, or a player pick, and generally better items overall. Hence, striving for the Bonus Upgrade is definitely worthwhile for most players aiming to swiftly rise through the divisions.

When Will Rivals Rewards Be Available in FC 26?

In EA FC 26, a Rivals week starts every Thursday morning and concludes precisely seven days later, on the following Thursday morning. Thus, you can claim your earned Rivals rewards - whether it's the Weekly Bonus or a Bonus Upgrade - every Thursday at 9:00 AM.

This is the official schedule displayed as a countdown on the Rivals screen. Issues can occasionally arise with reward distribution, so if you log in at 9:00 AM and do not see your rewards, wait a moment and check EA's official channels for any announcements regarding problems with Rivals rewards. Sometimes, restarting the game or logging out and back in can also help. If you still do not see your rewards after some time, and there are no official announcements from EA, consider reaching out to EA directly to address your issue.

Where and How to Redeem Division Rivals Rewards in FC 26?

Once a Rivals week concludes, the Rivals rewards are automatically distributed in-game. To claim yours, simply start the "Ultimate Team" mode, where you will typically see a notification welcoming you with new items awaiting you. If you don't see it, navigate to the menu tab "Shop → My Packs" or "Play → Rivals". You can also collect Rivals rewards through the FC 26 Web App and Companion App.

New Features and Changes in EA FC 26 Rivals Rewards

Each year, developers tend to tweak the Division Rivals rewards, and EA FC 26 is no different, featuring some changes this season. However, these changes are notably less extensive than last year's overhaul, which involved the introduction of the new point system and removal of certain reward options and milestones. In FC 26, developers have made some adjustments to the Rivals gameplay system itself (see EA FC 26: Rivals Explained), aiming to make it easier for players to access better rewards. Here's a breakdown of specific changes made to the FC 26 Division Rivals rewards:

New Prizes

The most significant addition in FC 26 is the introduction of new trophies integrated into the Rivals ranking system. These are small challenges you can complete in your next Rivals game. If successful, you will receive an instant bonus in the form of Rivals points, Champions Qualification points, coins, packs, etc. Think of it as an extra incentive to progress more quickly in Rivals. While the rewards are a nice bonus, it’s not a catastrophe to miss a prize occasionally. More details on this can be found here: EA FC 26: Rivals Explained – all new features, limited checkpoints, skill ratings, and more.

Fewer Coins and Packs

For years, it has been observed that weekly rewards, whether a Weekly Bonus or Bonus Upgrade, have been dropping in terms of quality, and this trend continues into FC 26. The number of coins has taken a significant hit, typically around 50 to 70%. For instance, the Weekly Bonus for Division 10 in FC 25 granted 3,500 coins, but now offers none at all. Similarly, Division 1’s previous rewards have plummeted from 75,000 coins to just 25,000 coins. Clearly, EA appears more interested in selling coins for real money. The number of packs has also slightly decreased, but EA claims this aligns with their revised power curve and the now easier access to rewards.

No More Champions Qualification Points in Rivals Weekly Rewards

With FC 26, the Champions modes were overhauled, resulting in the removal of Champions Qualification points that were previously earned through weekly Rivals rewards. Instead, reaching Division 6 or higher now automatically grants you the required 1,000 Champions Qualification points. There is a small exception, though; some trophies may provide a few Champions Qualification points.
