FUT RIVALS has been a major part of FIFA since it was introduced to the game.
But what is FUT rivals, and when does EA distribute rewards for the game mode?
What is FUT rivals?
FUT Rivals is an online game mode within FIFA’s hugely popular online multiplayer mode, Ultimate Team.
In FUT, players progress through divisions based on the number of games they win.
Those ranked in similar divisions are pitted against one another in Division Rivals.
Rivals dishes out rewards with packs, coins and FUT Champions points to everyone who has completed at least one match in the previous week.
When do rivals rewards come out?
Division Rivals Rewards are handed out to players every Thursday.
The rewards drop in the morning at 08:00 UK time (3am ET).
The quality of your reward depends on the Divison you’re in.
The rank you hold within that division also plays a part in the packs, coins and points you’re offered.
According to EA: “You have a choice regarding the types of rewards you want to receive so that you can build the club you want.
“The better your Rank, the more options are open to you; if you’re looking for Coins to purchase a player on the Transfer Market, you can choose to go that way.
“But if you’re more interested in player content that is in the game and want to select packs as rewards, there will be options for that as well.”

What are the new features on FIFA 21?
Just like every year, FIFA 21 brings in a raft of changes – including the improved crossing ability and career mode.
On the gameplay side, the Agile Dribbling system allows more creativity in 1-on-1 situations, while Positioning Personality improves in-game intelligence.
You will get more control over the runs by your attackers to get in behind defences, while FIFA 21 have updated their collision system so you should get less hilarious gaffes and falling over by your players.
The Career Mode has also been given a much-needed overhaul, including the ability to simulate matches and take control of the key moments.
You can also teach new positions to your players in a revamp of the training system, while for the transfers, you’re able to make Loan-to-Buy offers along with being offered swap deals.
