At DreamHack Atlanta, 256 players will compete for a shot at one of the most prestigious EA SPORTS FC 26 events of the year.
The road to FC Pro glory begins at DreamHack Atlanta 2025, where the EA SPORTS FC 26 season kicks off with two thrilling events. It all starts with the FC Pro Open Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ), a showdown where 256 players will clash in a double-elimination bracket for just four tickets to the FC Pro Global Qualifier, held on the same stage.
FC Pro Open Last Chance Qualifier
The FC Pro Open LCQ will feature 256 players competing in a thrilling double-elimination bracket, all vying for the spots in the FC Pro Global Qualifier. This event will take place at DreamHack Atlanta, marking an exciting kickoff for the EA SPORTS FC 26 FC Pro season.
At the FC Pro Global Qualifier, competitors will face off in a Swiss Stage before advancing to a double-elimination knockout phase. The top 64 finishers will split a prize pool of $152,000, but only four players will earn the ultimate reward: a spot in the FC Pro Open.
Only four will remain and advance to the FC Pro Open. This big event will feature a $1 million prize pool and run weekly from Nov. 24 to Jan. 20, culminating in the Grand Finals on Jan. 26. Prize money will be distributed throughout the season, with the champion earning $100,000 and payouts extending to players finishing up to 24th place.
Event schedule
The first big moment of qualification will happen from Oct. 31 to Nov. 1. Later that day, the top four competitors advancing from the FC Pro Open LCQ will join 60 other players in the Swiss Stage, which will determine who moves on to the Group Stage, kicking off on Nov. 2.
