16 Advance From FC Pro Open London Qualifier
EA SPORTS FC 27's FC Pro Open Global Qualifier wrapped up at BBC Television Studios in London on 7 November 2026, with 16 of the 64 players sealing their place in the FC Pro Open. The 64-player field was first cut down over a five-round Swiss Stage on Friday 6 November.
The top 32 moved on to Saturday's Knockout Stage, split into four groups of eight in a double-elimination bracket. The top four from each group advanced to the FC Pro Open.
Group A produced Young, Jonny, GugaFerraz and Quarna; Group B, Xmozaaa, Tekkz, Prodigio and Luquinhas; Group C, Ilian, Leks, HHezerS and Jafonso; Group D, Umut, Karimisbak, isGoatMan and Paulo Neto.
Next up is the FC Pro Open, which opens with Group A on 30 November 2026. The 16 qualifiers join eight direct invitees - Bonanno, Danipitbull, Emre Yilmaz, Levi de Weerd, Levyfinn, Nassada, RvPLegend10 and Vejrgang - for a 24-player mid-season event.
Under EA's official FC Pro 27 rules, the Open's group stage splits the 24 players into four groups of six for a double round-robin. The top three in each group reach the Finals on 25 January 2027, and the eight quarterfinalists qualify for the FC Pro 27 World Championship.
FC Pro Draft was also used, with every competitor building a squad inside a set of restrictions before the event, which gives squad-building and meta players something to study on the broadcast.
