FC Pro Open Cup 1 Ladder Live Until Nov 3
EA SPORTS FC Pro Open Cup 1 began its regional online ladder on 29 October, with the first event running until 3 November and the regional playoffs set for 21-22 November. Unlike the later two cups, Open Cup 1 accepts matches 24 hours a day.
Hong Kong is assigned to Asia North, where the top 32 ladder players advance to the playoffs. Each match is one game; if the score is level, extra time and then penalties decide the winner.
Players can access the ladder through the FC Pro Live Events section of Ultimate Team. Official eligibility rules require FC Pro Open entrants to have reached Division 5 in Rivals by 3 October, and competitive registration takes place on Battlefy with an EA account, Discord account and two-factor authentication.
PlayStation 5 is the supported platform for the competition. The Asia North prize for this cup is US$1,750 for the playoff champion and US$750 for the runner-up; the top 500 in the region also receive an FC Pro Open in-game reward.
Playoff results add circuit points across all three Open Cups: 15 points per Swiss-stage win, plus up to 400 for a playoff win. After the third cup, the top two Asia North players on circuit points qualify for the FC Pro World Championship Play-Ins.
EA has also scheduled Open Cup 2's ladder for 15-20 December and Open Cup 3's ladder for 11-16 January 2027. This is an individual 1v1 competition, not a Pro Clubs team event, so it does not change 11v11 gameplay, The Grounds features or club eligibility.
It does, however, give Pro Clubs members on PS5 a separate route to compete for prizes, in-game rewards and World Championship qualification.
