UT Champions Starting Time

First of all, I want to thank the EA team for listening to the community and making positive changes recently — like reducing the FUT Champions match limit from 20 to 15, improving reward accessibility, and adjusting gameplay for both casual and competitive players. We truly appreciate these efforts.

However, I would also like to bring attention to one issue that still creates problems for a large portion of the player base — the start time of FUT Champions. Currently, it begins every week on Friday at 7PM (CEST). While that may work for some, it is extremely unfair for players who work night shifts during the weekend, like myself.

I kindly suggest changing the start time to Friday at 00:00 (midnight) — meaning the start of the day, Thursday night into Friday. This would allow all kinds of players — morning, afternoon, evening, and especially weekend night-shift workers — to access and enjoy the mode more freely.

EA has often mentioned server load or matchmaking balance, but a midnight start would actually spread traffic more evenly across the day. It would reduce congestion, not increase it.

Streamers would benefit as well. They could start FUT Champions streams right at midnight and focus on content releases and promos later in the day, instead of everything happening at once at 7PM Friday.

Let’s also consider that weekends are busy — people travel, spend time with families, or simply have limited availability. Compressing 15 intense matches into a short, rigid window limits accessibility for many dedicated players. Giving us from Friday 00:00 until Sunday night (or even Monday morning) would be a much more flexible and inclusive approach.

Again, we’re not asking for new rewards or content — just fair timing that considers people’s real-life obligations. You’ve already made good progress with recent changes, and we hope you’ll continue by improving this one as well. Thank you for your time and for listening.
