The Play-Offs is the first stage of FUT Champions. It’s open the entire duration of the FUT Season, so you can take it at your own pace.
There are a limited number of Play-Off entries per FUT Season, which you can see in-game. This limit resets with the start of each new Season, which usually occurs approximately every six weeks.
Play Division Rivals to earn Champions Qualification Points (CQP). When you reach the required number of CQP to enter the Play-Offs, you will be automatically entered into the current event. You can see how much CQP is required to qualify for Play-Offs by checking in-game.
Find your FUT Champions Qualification Points balance in-game:
You can also enter the Rivals tile, then select the Champions tab to see your total there.
You’ll get rewards once you finish the available amount of matches (maximum of 10) in the competition. You can also choose to end your current Play-Offs event at any point, even before completing all your matches, allowing you to collect the available rewards immediately. If you don’t finish all your Play-Off matches before a FUT Season ends, you’ll automatically get whatever rewards you have earned from the matches that you did complete.
You can check your progression in-game, and see what the requirements and rewards are for each Rank.
