The days are ticking away toward the new game and we now have a bunch of news about EA FC 24 Clubs. This is the Pro Clubs we all know and love but with a new name, some big updates, and some clean new vibes for everyone to enjoy.

With EA ditching the FIFA name this year players are expecting big things, and it looks like Clubs will be one of the most popular ways to experience the new game this year.

Here’s everything you need to know about EA FC 24 Clubs!

EA FC 24 Clubs

If you played Pro Clubs previously then you will be familiar with Clubs in EA FC 24, but if not let’s break down exactly what is EA FC Clubs for you.

Clubs is an online mode that lets players create their own player in the game AND a club to either play with friends or against them! There are thousands of ways to customise your player within Clubs, and some new ways to customise your team too.

In Clubs you will grow the support and reputation of your team by playing and winning matches, providing you with higher OVR AI teammates, more stadium options and fresh customisation options.

Clubs League

This is where Clubs divert from what we knew before in Pro Clubs. This year EA FC 24 is introducing seasons instead of the old promotion/relegation system.

Each Clubs League season will last around six weeks and will have a league phase and then a playoff phase!

The league phase will start fresh with each season and players can rack up points for their Club by winning matches to climb divisions. Clubs all start at Division 5 and can climb their way up to the Elite Division simply by winning games.

There are no draws here, with penalties deciding things if there is no winner after 120 minutes. At the end of the playoff phase you’ll get more rewards and if you end at the top a Clubs League trophy too!

PlayStyles

Like other parts of EA FC 24, PlayStyles will play a big role in your success on the field in Clubs.

Your pro can have up to six PlayStyles slots and two PlayStyles+ slots to unlock so there will be plenty of space for experimentation but also meta builds to be created!

Leaderboards

For the first time in Clubs (or Pro Clubs!) there will be a skill rating for each Club on the leaderboards. This will truly show if you are the best of your peers or need to sharpen your skills.

With numerous ways to improve your style, there are more options than ever to change your hair, clothes, tattoos, plus much more! So you can spend hours perfecting your look for both on and off the pitch, and the better you perform in-game, the more rewards you will unlock.

Cross-play

Cross-play is finally here in Clubs for EA FC 24! After years of asking for it, EA has answered.

This enables players from different platforms to play against and with one another in Clubs. PS5 and Xbox Series X users can now play alongside each other as teammates or head-to-head on the field, which opens the door to so many opportunities.

Whether you’re joining friends on different platforms and creating a Club of 11 players, or playing against another group of mates on another console, this allows everyone to enjoy Clubs together!

This also makes for quicker matchmaking, and for the first time ever, Clubs will be available for players on Nintendo Switch.

The only downside is that cross-play is not cross-generation, so PS4 and PS5 players cannot play together. However it is a huge step in the right direction.

Has Clubs been saved?

These new features have revitalised Clubs when it was slowly becoming a game mode played by fewer players each year.

With a whole new league system, this gives each game meaning as you and your friends play your way to the Division 1 title. The playoffs system allows for intense battles where only a win matters and could turn your Clubs reputation into one of the best in the world.

And the introduction to PlayStyles allows for some entertaining boosts to your gameplay.

Will you be playing Clubs with your friends this year?
