How challenges work in EA SPORTS FC 27

Each EA SPORTS FC challenge is a personal target built from your own recent Virtualeagues matches. Play your league matches as you normally would, and your result comes from the match record Virtualeagues keeps.

Before you play

Link your Virtualeagues account

Zenko sees your EA SPORTS FC matches only through Virtualeagues, so link your Virtualeagues account to your Zenko profile before you play. Link the account you play your league matches on, because matches on any other account cannot count.

  1. Open the EA SPORTS FC page on your Zenko profile
  2. Choose Link Virtualeagues and sign in on the Virtualeagues page
  3. Back on Zenko, confirm the account is yours and choose Link Account

Your first challenges appear once 5 of your newest 100 competitive league matches on Virtualeagues are counted. Friendlies are not counted.

How it works

  1. Pick a challenge

    Each target is built from your own recent Virtualeagues matches, so it is a fair stretch for how you play.

  2. Play your league matches

    Play your Virtualeagues league matches in EA SPORTS FC as normal, within 24 hours of picking the challenge.

  3. We read your match

    Once Virtualeagues records the match, we read your stats and check them against your target.

  4. See your result

    Meet the target and credits are added to your balance; miss it and the challenge ends as a loss. Free practice works the same way, with no credits involved.

Where your result comes from

EA SPORTS FC results reach Zenko through Virtualeagues, the competitive league platform where your matches are played and recorded. We read your match results from your linked Virtualeagues account, read-only. We never change anything on your account, never send it commands, and never read your EA account directly. You never report a score or send a screenshot.

  1. Your match

    Played in EA SPORTS FC as normal.

  2. Virtualeagues

    Records the match and your stats.

  3. Your result

    Read by Zenko, read-only.

What counts

Counts

  • Competitive league matches you play through Virtualeagues
  • Matches on the Virtualeagues account linked to your profile
  • Matches you start within 24 hours of picking the challenge

Doesn't count

  • Friendlies and scrimmages
  • Matches that started before you picked the challenge
  • Unfinished matches that come back with no rating and no stats
  • Matches that come back without a match rating, if your challenge needs one

When results appear

While your challenge is running, we check Virtualeagues for new matches every three minutes, so your result follows soon after your match is recorded. If you do not play a match that qualifies within 24 hours, the challenge is cancelled and any entry is returned.

  1. Your match ends
  2. Usually a few minutes after your match is recorded
  3. Your result appears
