FC Pro is a new singular program that will focus on elite 1v1 competition, highlighting the world’s best players on their journey to the FC Pro World Championships. FC Pro features a refined schedule, simplifying the season narrative, and direct access to the EA SPORTS FC Pro World Championships for top competitors from EA and League Partner competitions.
Starting with in-game competition, qualified and eligible players will receive access to the competitive game mode and – new this year – the ability to compete on the FC Pro Open Ladder hosted by our tournament operations partner. This ladder will allow competitors to match up against other elite players in their competitive region during a specific window of time. During FC Pro Open, players can represent themselves, football clubs or esports teams. The FC Pro Open Ladder is purely 1v1 and will feature a real-time leaderboard accessible outside of the game.
The top finishing players in each regional ladder will compete in the FC Pro Open Regional Qualifiers for the chance at an invitation and paid trip to the FC Pro Open Global Qualifier, a 64 person competition scheduled for November. The top 16 players from the FC Pro Open Global Qualifier will join the top four players in the world from the previous season in FC Pro Open.
Players who don’t earn a spot in FC Pro Open will still have the opportunity to compete in regional-level online competition for the remainder of the FC Pro Open window.
