Competing in the Game

  • General Rules: All players are expected to adhere to the standards set in the PlayVS Code of Conduct.

  • In-Game Rules: By default, EA SPORTS FC 26 rules, such as application of in-game penalties, overtime, etc., are all managed in-game by EA SPORTS FC 26.

    • All players MUST play as Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) for their matches.

  • Event Format: Best-of-1 (Bo1).

    • To start, teams will join the qualifier match queue to earn a chance to participate in the bracket rounds.

    • A team must win a qualifier match in order to advance to the bracket rounds.

    • Semi-Finals and Finals will be a Best-of-3 (Bo3)

  • Pauses: In addition to the 60-second pauses in between periods, each team is given a single additional pause, up to 60 seconds in length.

  • Disconnections: The game will automatically close if a player disconnects from the online match. It will then show which player disconnected by awarding the win to the player who was still in the match.

    • Once the player can reconnect, the online match must be recreated as closely as possible to when the disconnection occurred.


Post-Match Process

  • You can check in Online Friendlies the final scores of games by choosing your opponent and navigating to Current Season to see all games played against one another with final results.

  • After both teams agree to the final game's result using the PlayVS Match Assistant, the match will be complete, and results will be recorded.

  • Matches without results will be quarantined and risk a match loss for both teams by default.
