EA FC 26 players can win a trip to the 2026 Champions League Final in Budapest by participating in PlayStation Tournaments.
PlayStation Tournaments let EA SPORTS FC players compete against each other for a chance to win awesome prizes. It’s a great way to show off your skills as a manager!
Okay, so usually when I’m playing FC Mobile, they give you free FC Points to open packs and try to snag awesome players. But this time, for the Champions League Finals, they’re going all out! They’re running a contest where the winner gets a trip – like, a full ticket and travel expenses paid – to the 2026 Champions League Final. Seriously, that’s huge!
Here’s a guide to joining the UEFA Champions League Challenge, including how it works and some advice for winning.

Okay, so the big prize for the Champions League Final is only up for grabs if you’re playing in either North America or Europe. That means if you’re in one of these countries, you’re in the running:

Tips
The UEFA Champions League Challenge lets you play with and customize your own Ultimate Team, giving you the freedom to adjust your strategy.
To start, focus on building a team with players who are currently popular and effective – what’s known as the ‘meta.’ You’ll likely face opponents using stars from leagues like the Premier League, WSL, and LaLiga, so using similar players will help keep you competitive.
When choosing a formation, aim for balance. A 4-2-3-1 (with wingers) is a good option because it provides solid defense and allows for attacking flair. If you prefer playing with two strikers, a 4-4-2 formation is also effective, though it might mean you don’t have a classic attacking midfielder.
Honestly, the biggest thing for me is just using a team I know. Sure, some teams are stronger than others, but when the pressure’s on, I’d rather stick with what I’m comfortable with. Trying to learn a whole new strategy right then is just asking for trouble, you know?
