The Festival of Football event introduces a brand-new in-game currency: Festival of Football Tokens. If you're confused about what they are, how you earn them, and whether they're worth grinding for — this is the guide you need. Short answer: yes, they're worth it, and you'll earn them just by playing normally.
Tokens are a dedicated event currency that exists only during the Festival of Football (June 5 – July 24, 2026). EA has explicitly confirmed:
| Activity | Token Source? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FUT Rivals | ✅ Confirmed | Standard weekly play |
| Squad Battles | ✅ Confirmed | Good for offline players |
| FUT Champions / WL | ✅ Confirmed | Highest Token yield expected here |
| Rush | ✅ Confirmed | Casual mode, steady trickle |
| Objectives & SBCs | ✅ Confirmed | Event objectives likely to give bonus Tokens |
| Pack purchases / Transfer Market | ❌ Not available | Pay-to-accelerate does not apply here |
Exact Token rates per activity haven't been published yet — EA will reveal the full breakdown in-game on June 5. Based on previous event currencies (FUT Birthday Tokens, TOTS Moments Tokens), expect Rivals and Champs to give the most per session.
The Token Store opens on June 5. EA has confirmed it includes:
The store will update throughout the event — don't panic-spend your Tokens on day one. Wait a few days to see the full catalogue and what's coming in later waves (Glory Hunters, Phenoms, Summer Stars).
Practical take: if you play your normal Rivals/Champs sessions, Tokens will accumulate naturally. There's no need to change your playstyle just for Tokens. Where it gets interesting is the objective grind — if EA drops specific event objectives that award bonus Tokens, those are worth doing even if you don't normally bother with objectives, because they stack fast.
One genuine piece of advice: don't splurge Tokens in the first week on low-value players. The best items in a Token store are usually released in the middle-to-late stage of an event. Path to Glory cards (June 5–19) might be available early, but if you can hold, the Glory Hunters or Summer Stars catalogue could have better value picks.
The entire Festival of Football event, including the Token Store, ends July 24, 2026. Any unspent Tokens will expire. Don't sleep on spending them in the final week — set a reminder for around July 17 to check what's left in the store.
