FIFA 22 Ultimate Team's Season 1 is now over, and that means that players worldwide are ready to start a fresh new season and compete against each other.

In FIFA 22, Division Rivals is one of the most popular modes in Ultimate Team. Players can take each other on and battle it out with their constructed teams. However, unlike squad battles, where gamers play against opposing teams controlled by AI, Division Rivals has human opponents.

Season 1 has received mixed reactions from players, especially with a change in its reward system and a focus on winning matches. However, many FIFA 22 players felt that EA Sports had made the mode more suitable for those who could afford to invest a lot of time.

Relegation in FIFA 22 Division Rivals

FIFA 22 Division Rivals Season 2 starts November 11th at 8:00 am UK time. Joel Doonan (Player First Operations (PFO) Producer for EA FIFA) and Gabriel Zaro (Community Lead at EA SPORTS FIFA) revealed the major changes that will be happening for FUT players in FIFA 22 FUT Season 2.

When Season 2 begins, FUT Champions qualification points and FUT Champions Finals entry tokens will carry over into FUT Season 2. Apart from that, FIFA 22 Ultimate Team players will now be relegated, but relegation will depend on which division the player ends the season in.

How many divisions will players be relegated by?

Players who end Season 1 in Division 9 and 10 will not have to undergo any relegation.

Those FIFA 22 players who finish below Division 6 but above Division 9 will be relegated by 1 division.

FIFA 22 players who finish Season 1 in Division 6 or higher will automatically be relegated by two divisions.

FIFA 22 FUT Champions qualification changes

Earlier in Season 1, FIFA 22 players needed only 1500 points to qualify for the FUT Champions playoffs. However, this requirement has been upgraded, and if players want to be eligible for the playoffs, they will require at least 2000 points.

FIFA 22 Division Rivals drop weekly rewards based on the players' performances every Thursday. However, milestone rewards are likely to result in upgrades for Season 2 of FIFA 22 Division Rivals.
