Questions about FC26 Friendlies

When is the FC26 Friendlies tournament?
Every Thursday at 6:00 PM WAT. Registration closes at 5:00 PM, one hour before kick-off, or earlier if every slot is taken.
How much is entry, and what can I win?
Entry is ₦3,000. You earn ₦500 for every match you win, and the champion takes ₦30,000 on top. A bye or a walkover moves you to the next round but is not a match win, so it does not earn the ₦500.
Which mode is FC26 Friendlies played in?
Online Friendlies in FC26. Seasons and Ultimate Team matches do not count — a result played in the wrong mode cannot be recorded.
What do I need to play?
FC26 on PS5, Xbox Series X or PC, a stable internet connection and your EA ID. You do not need an Ultimate Team squad — matches are online Friendlies.
Can I enter from outside Abuja?
Yes. The tournament is played entirely online, so you can enter from anywhere in Nigeria. You register with your EA ID and your opponent invites you in-game.
