FIFA 22 Squad Battles: Ranks, rewards, release times & tips

It is almost that time of year when we do it all again and dive into yet another iteration of the unimaginably popular FIFA series.

And the hype train has well and truly begun for FIFA 22, with the first official trailer and smattering of information being released promising "HyperMotion" tech, improved game modes, better and more adaptive tactic systems, and so on and so on.

What we actually get on launch day, we will need to see but with this being the first truly next-generation offering, we are going to cut EA Sports and the developers just a little bit of slack and say we are going into this one with a tinge of hope.

Of course, when it gets down to it FIFA 22 will primarily be focused on -- for better or for worse -- Ultimate Team mode and while there will be some key changes, much will stay the same to a mode that admittedly many have grown to love.

One aspect of Ultimate Team is Squad Battles, an offline mode that allows players to go up against custom squads, earn points and rewards. It has become popular within the player base and it is set to continue in FUT 22.

FIFA 22 Ultimate Team - Squad Battles

Squad Battles was first introduced back in 2016 and it rapidly became a fan favourite.

Essentially, it is an offline point-based reward system where you accumulate them by beating community created teams but controlled by AI.

You will earn more points by adjusting the AI difficulty so the more you play the better you will rank.

Depending on your rank at the end of each week, every player will receive a reward that could range from coins, loan players or even gold and premium packs.

When do Squad Battles rewards come out in FIFA 22?

Squad Battles rewards are expected to release, as they have in previous years, every Monday at 12:05 am BST.

The higher up the rankings you climb, the better the rewards.
