FC 26 Division Rivals rewards: How FUT Rivals rewards work

There are some pretty major changes to the FC 26 Division Rivals rewards compared to previous Ultimate Teams, including what rewards are actually on offer!

Alongside FC 26 Squad Battle rewards and FC 26 FUT Champs, these are some of the best ways to earn rewards in Ultimate Team.

The big change is the addition of Bounties – a new mechanic that lets you make your way through each stage quicker, even if you lose a game here and there.

But for now, let's take a look at everything you need to know about Division Rivals rewards in FC 26.

What day are Division Rivals rewards released?

Division Rivals rewards are released every Thursday at 8am BST.

This is much the same as it was in FC 25 and FC 24 before it. Fortunately, with the new Bounty system, you won’t have to wait another seven days if you’re none too happy about the rewards you receive.

How Division Rivals works in FC 26 Ultimate Team

Divisions Rivals in FC 26 works a bit differently compared to FC 25, namely, by being less grindy and not as punishing. This is down to the new Bounties system, which can net you Rivals Points, Champions Qualifications Points, Coins, Packs, Season XP and even Stage Skips, and Duels, which allow you to net points even if you lose.

Bounties are similar to daily quests in Fortnite, in that they are small challenges that will net you rewards that are typically larger than the sum of their parts.

On the official Ultimate Team Deep Dive page, EA gives the following as examples of the kind of Bounties we can expect:

• Score the first goal
• Score the last goal
• Win by two or more
• Keep a clean sheet

Duels are special Bounties that can only be achieved by one player, such as scoring the first or last goal. Even if you lose the match, if there was an active Bounty on scoring the last goal, you would still receive rewards, making for a much less grindy experience.

With more rewards and Stage Skips, you’re likely to progress far quicker than you did in FC 25, and have more fun while you’re at it.

Can you be relegated in Division Rivals?

Yes, you can be relegated in FC 26 Division Rivals.

New to FC 26 are Limited Checkpoints, which are breakable checkpoints that will track how many losses you’ve had and will enable relegation if you lose too many matches.

Once you pass the threshold, you will drop a stage. This is intended to make sure you don’t get stuck in matchmaking purgatory, facing off against opponents who perhaps haven’t broken as many controllers in their time…
