aptains Division Rivals Update in FC Mobile
The highly anticipated Captains Event has officially landed in EA Sports FC Mobile, replacing the six-week-long Ragnarok Event. Alongside its release, Division Rivals (DR) has been refreshed to match the new theme, continuing the trend where DR seasons are directly tied to the ongoing main event.
Division Reset Across All Modes
As part of the update, all divisions have been reset in the three DR modes - VSA, H2H and Manager Mode. Every player has been dropped back to World Class V, regardless of their previous rank.
This reset ensures a level playing field for all users, but it also means players must once again grind through the ladder, climbing back toward higher divisions like Legendary and FC Champion to unlock top rewards.
Relegation Issue Returns
Just like in the previous season, players have noticed that instead of being relegated by 5 ranks, many were pushed down by 10 ranks after the reset. This mirrors the exact same situation from the end of the Ragnarok DR season.
EA has previously mentioned that from the next DR season onwards, relegation will be capped at 5 ranks, but as of now, there is no official confirmation on whether this will be fixed going forward. The community is waiting for a statement from EA to clarify this.
Rewards Linked to Captains Event
Division Rivals now directly supports the Captains Event with themed rewards and resources
Daily Matches in VSA/H2H/MM will drop Captains Tokens, which are crucial for progressing in the main event paths.
Division Milestone Rewards now include Captains-themed players, Gems, training transfer tokens, and URP.
End-of-Season Rewards will reflect your highest division achieved and can contain Captains Event Cards, meaning the higher you climb, the better your chances at premium rewards.
This makes DR not just a competitive grind but also an essential part of overall event progression.
New Themed Visuals & UI Refresh
To emphasize the event connection, EA has updated the Division Rivals UI with a Captains Event makeover
- A bold new Captains-themed interface with banners and accents.
- Top 50 leaderboard logo redesigned with the Captains theme.
- A new FC Champion badge for the top division.
- A fresh profile banner celebrating leadership and captaincy, giving competitive players something new to flex.
Season Duration - 35 Days
The new Division Rivals season will run for 35 days (5 weeks), perfectly aligning with the Captains Event timeline. This is slightly shorter than the previous Ragnarok DR season (6 weeks), which many players felt dragged on for too long.
A tighter, 5-week DR cycle means rewards come faster, and competition remains intense throughout the event.
Community Grind & Strategy
With the reset live, players are once again in the grind, working their way back up from World Class V. Many are already strategizing how to maximize their time
Daily Token Farming: Staying active ensures steady Captains Token income, which can be crucial for event progression.
Pushing Higher Divisions Early: Reaching Legendary or FC Champion faster not only secures better rewards but also gives a head start over rivals.
Mode Preference: Some prefer quick VSA matches for tokens, while others focus on H2H/MM for more competitive gameplay.
Final Thoughts
The Captains Division Rivals update brings a fresh wave of excitement to competitive FC Mobile. With themed visuals, valuable rewards, and the grind reset, players have five weeks to prove themselves on the pitch. Whether you’re climbing for bragging rights, Captains Tokens, or just the satisfaction of securing a top division finish, this season promises to be one of the most engaging yet.
