In Season 3 players had to earn 1,000 Champions Qualification Points through playing and winning Division Rivals matches. After earning enough qualification points, players had to then win three out of the five Champions qualifying matches to earn a chance at competing in the Champions Finals.
In FC 24, players only needed to win four out of 10 qualifying matches, and some complained that it’s too challenging this year. EA listened to community feedback and reduced it to two wins in five games for qualifying matches.
EA also extended Champions Finals in Season 4 to run from Friday through Tuesday, instead of ending on Monday.
Finally, the update also revamped Division Rivals and Squad Battles to give players a chance to work toward unlocking Campaign Mix Pack and player picks throughout the season.
