Discover the keys to success and claim your well-deserved rewards in the evolving landscape of EA Sports FC 24.
What are EA FC 24 rewards?
Like with its FIFA predecessor, EA Sports FC 24 has a rewards system which you can access in the game’s Ultimate Team mode. The most common sources of these are via the Division Rivals, Squad Battles, and FUT Champs modes.
The rewards are seen to be safer than past rewards-based systems like loot boxes, which gave players a random reward (or nothing) in exchange for money, similar to how an online casino game might work, for example. This attracted a lot of criticism from experts who likened the process to gambling and many gaming providers have since chosen to drop the feature.
Players can now compete for rewards based on skilled challenges and the three modes of doing this are proving to be a popular success. Here’s a breakdown of how they work.
1. Squad Battles
If you’re diving into EA FC 24 and aiming to rack up some quick coins or packs in Ultimate Team for Season 3, Squad Battles rewards are your ticket to success.
Similar to last year, Squad Battles dish out weekly rewards based on your performance. For those choosing this option, here’s the lowdown on rewards and when to grab them.
Claiming Rewards: You can snag your Squad Battle rewards every Sunday at 8 am GMT. Hold your horses if they don’t pop up right on time; it might take about five minutes.
For non-UK folks, rewards drop at 10 am CEST, 4 am ET, or 12 am PT. Be ready to dive back into the grind every Sunday afternoon.
Squad Battle Rewards: Your rewards hinge on your rank; the higher your rank, the juicier the loot:
- Bronze 3 to 1: Premium Loan Player Reward Pack
- Silver 3 to 1: Gold Packs, Premium Gold Packs, and coins
- Gold 3 to 1: Premium Gold Players Packs, Jumbo Premium Gold Packs, Mega Packs, and more coins
- Elite and Top 200: Rare Players Packs, Mega Packs, and hefty coin stacks
Points needed for each rank change weekly. For instance, hitting Elite requires an average of around 900 points per game.
Pro Tip: Watch out for the EA FC 24 walkout animations when opening packs for potential top-tier cards.
Now, get back on that grind, score those wins, and claim those rewards like a pro!
2. Division Rivals
Rivals is your ticket to online glory, offering a skill-driven rank system for solo or co-op play. Winning matches propels you up the ladder, increasing your rank and division for better rewards.

Determining Your Division:
- Initial Division: Start in Division 10, with match results throughout the season determining your final placement.
