What is the FIFA Global Series?

FIFA 22 Global Series

The FGS is where top FIFA players from around the world compete against one another for cash prizes and qualification into the FIFA World Cup.

Anyone can register to take part in the Global Series before December 31st, 2021, but you’ll have to reach the Elite Division in Division Rivals before you gain eligibility to play in FGS Qualifiers.

There are also other tournaments throughout the year where players can compete in 2v2 matches, and also represent real-world football clubs in their esports teams.

When does the FIFA 22 Global Series start?

FIFA 22 Global Series events

Although the SBCs are live in-game now, EA has confirmed that the FIFA 22 Global Series kicks off on November 27, 2021.

From this date onwards is when fans will be able to start streaming and earning Swap Tokens to claim the best packs.

Events are scheduled for throughout the year, so be sure to keep checking back to see when you can next bag a token.

How to earn FGS Swap Tokens in FIFA 22

Once the Global Series gets underway, all fans have to do to start earning FGS Swap Tokens is watch 60 minutes of any event.

In a weekend with multiple events, watching for an hour still qualifies you to receive a Swap Token.

You may only earn one token per weekend, so don’t feel obliged to watch every second of each event if you’re only in it for the rewards.

FIFA 22 FGS SBCs

Four separate SBCs are live in FIFA 22 right now, each with different requirements and pack rewards. Naturally, the more you earn – the better the pack.

Depending on the number of tokens earned by watching the Global Series, players can choose to spend them on a less valuable SBC with fewer requirements or save up for the best rewards.

All four SBCs are repeatable and will remain active throughout the season, so you can constantly earn tokens to submit and keep the rewards coming.

Check out the full breakdown of the SBCs below:

  • 1 Token – Premium Gold Pack (7,500)
  • 2 Tokens – Premium Gold Player Pack (25,000)
  • 3 Tokens – Prime Gold Players Pack (45,000)
