The FIFA Global Series is the perfect opportunity for Ultimate Team players to earn FGS Swaps Tokens that can be redeemed in-game for valuable rewards.

FGS Swaps have once again returned to Ultimate Team in FIFA 23, and players will have a chance to scoop up some valuable rewards.

Players can earn FUT packs by tuning in to the FIFA Global Series competition. This is one of the few methods that Ultimate Team players can use to pack top players without having to play FIFA 23.

Here’s everything you need to know about FGS Swaps in FIFA 23 and the rewards you can earn along the way.

What is the FIFA Global Series

The FIFA Global Series is a competition between some of the best FIFA 23 players in the world. EA announced the EA Sports Cup, which is a two vs two FIFA 23 tournament that features top players from around the world.

Matches will take place every Monday and Ultimate Team fans will have a chance to earn valuable rewards just by tuning in.

The competition features a mix of traditional Esports teams such as FNATIC, Complexity, and Heretics. In addition, it also features Esports teams sponsored by real-life football clubs like PSG and Manchester City.

While the FIFA Global Series offers more competitions than just this two vs two EA Sports Cup, so far EA has confirmed that this is the competition players must watch to earn FIFA 23 rewards.

FIFA 23 players can collect an FGS Swaps Token by watching at least 60 minutes of an eligible Global Series event. In this case, we know that the eligible event is the EA Sports Cup.

Watching for at least an hour will guarantee players an FGS Swaps Token. It’s important to note that viewers cannot earn multiple tokens during a broadcast.
