About the EA Sports FIFA 22 Global Series
The EA SPORTS FIFA 21 Global Series is where the top FIFA players in the world prove themselves as the best.
To take part in either the Solo or Duo competitions, you’ll want to do the following:
– Register and accept the Official Rules on the FIFA Global Series website starting October 4th, 2021, and ending December 31st, 2021
– Compete in FUT Division Rivals, reach the Elite Division, and climb the ranks
Your FUT Divisions Rivals Elite Tier Skill Rating at the end of each FUT Division Rivals season is what determines your eligibility for online competitions like the FGS Open and FGS Qualifiers. Additionally, highly ranked registered players may receive additional perks like access to the Competitive Game Mode and early registration for the open bracket of the Team of the Season Cup. Remember, FUT Division Rivals, as well as matches in the Competitive Game Mode, will all use the new Competitive Settings.
FIFA esports is ready to make a move a full year after the release of a new generation of consoles. All online and offline competitions run by EA will be offered exclusively on PlayStation 5. PlayStation was chosen as our partner for this based on their historical support of FIFA esports and to retain familiarity for our global FUT Champions Verified player base, the vast majority of whom are on PlayStation consoles.
Qualification for online tournaments will be handled through the combined PlayStation FUT Rivals rankings, but the Competitive game mode used in tournaments will only be available on newer generation hardware.
