All FC 26 Rivals Rewards And How To Get Them
Division Rivals has been a cornerstone of EA FC's Ultimate Team for years, and in FC 26, it remains one of the most important ways to earn rewards while testing your squad against other players around the globe. Whether you're chasing high-rated players, stocking up on packs, or stacking coins for the transfer market, Rivals rewards are essential to building a competitive Ultimate Team.
This guide breaks down all the FC 26 Rivals rewards, how the system works, what's new this year, and strategies for climbing divisions efficiently to maximize your weekly return.
What Is Division Rivals?
Division Rivals is the online seasonal mode in Ultimate Team where players compete in ranked divisions. By playing (and winning) Rivals matches, you climb divisions, earn seasonal milestones, and unlock rewards at the end of each week.
Weekly Rewards: Earned based on your division rank and performance during that week.
Seasonal Rewards: Based on the number of Rivals matches you play across an entire season.
Progression Ladder: Climb higher divisions for better FC 26 coins, packs, and player pick rewards.
Rivals rewards drop every Thursday (depending on your timezone), meaning you'll always have a fresh batch of packs and coins to keep your club moving forward.
How Division Rivals Works in FC 26
Divisions and Ranks
Rivals is structured into multiple divisions (from Division 10 to the Elite Division). Each division has a series of ranks, and your rewards are determined by your current rank at the end of the week.
Division 10 → Division 1: Entry-level divisions with clear progression steps.
Elite Division: The top competitive bracket with exclusive rewards.
Checkpoints and Promotion
Checkpoints: Prevent you from dropping too far when you lose multiple matches.
Promotions: Win streaks accelerate promotion through the divisions.
Relegation: Unlike some other modes, Rivals has a built-in safety net, so you won't lose all progress after a few bad games.
Matchmaking
You'll face players in or around your current division. This makes climbing tougher at higher ranks but ensures fairer matches overall.
Weekly Rewards
Weekly rewards are the primary incentive to grind Rivals. Rewards improve as you climb higher divisions, with options tailored to your playstyle. In FC 26, you can usually choose between:
Option 1 – Tradeable Packs: Smaller quantity but can be sold for coins.
Option 2 – Untradeable Packs: Larger quantity, but cannot be sold. Good for club building.
Option 3 – Coins Only: A safe option if you prefer market control.

Best Way to Get Rivals Rewards
1. Aim for Division 5 or Higher
Division 5 is where the rewards start becoming consistently valuable. Anything above that accelerates your club growth.
2. Grind Weekly Matches Early
Playing your Rivals matches early in the week allows you to stabilize in your rank and avoid late-week sweats from hardcore players.
3. Choose the Right Reward Option
Tradeable Packs: Best if you're looking to flip cards for coins.
Untradeable Packs: Best for club building and SBC completion.
Coins: Best if you want market flexibility with zero pack gamble.
4. Don't Forget Milestones
Even if you don't win every game, logging enough Rivals matches ensures end-of-season milestone rewards.
5. Squad Optimization Matters
Meta squads make a difference. Use Rivals as a testing ground for tactics, chem styles, and player rotations.
Should You Play Rivals Over Champs?
Rivals and FUT Champions complement each other:
Rivals = Consistent, weekly progression and division climbing.
Champs = Shorter, high-intensity mode with premium rewards.
Most competitive players use Rivals to qualify for FUT Champions, but Rivals rewards alone are strong enough to sustain a free-to-play club.
Final Thoughts
Division Rivals in FC 26 Ultimate Team is one of the most rewarding modes in the game. Whether you're a casual grinding Division 8 for steady packs or an elite competitor battling for the top tier, Rivals ensures you're constantly earning valuable resources to strengthen your squad.
By understanding the reward structure, choosing the right options each week, and consistently grinding matches, you'll maximize your pack pulls, coin earnings, and long-term club growth.
For the most competitive players, the Elite Division offers jaw-dropping rewards, but even mid-division players can secure valuable packs that make a huge impact. Whatever your level, Division Rivals is a mode worth playing every week.
