EA SPORTS FIFA 21 Global Series

July 16, 2021

This year we’re focusing our communication when announcing EA SPORTS FIFA 21 Global Series penalties to only include players mathematically within reach of a Regional Playoffs seat based on EA SPORTS FIFA 21 Global Series Rankings. Outside of this group, all FUT Champions Verified players will continue to receive penalties for Official Rules and Code of Conduct violations.

By registering to compete in the EA SPORTS FIFA 21 Global Series, competitors agree to the EA SPORTS FIFA 21 Global Series Rules, which include the following: 

  • “As a Verified player, Players may be held to a higher standard than other players, and may face higher levels of penalties than they would otherwise.”  
  • “EA Accounts, the leaderboard, and match data may be audited, including for malicious behavior and cheating.”

FUT Champions Verified players must meet the standard of conduct that is reflected in the EA SPORTS FIFA 21 Global Series Official Rules and Code of Conduct. The following actions are being taken against players for violations of these agreements.

Explanation

  • “Publishing, posting, uploading or distributing content, or organizing/participating in any activity, group or guild that EA (acting reasonably and objectively) determines is inappropriate, abusive, hateful, harassing, profane, defamatory, threatening, obscene, sexually explicit, infringing, privacy-invasive, vulgar, offensive, indecent or unlawful;”

 

Reporting Official Rules and Code of Conduct Violations

The EA SPORTS FIFA Global Series team takes all Official Rules and Code of Conduct violations seriously. If you wish to report violations made by EA SPORTS FIFA 21 Global Series FUT Champions Verified competitors please email details of the incident including dates, screenshots, and a statement about what happened to eafifaleagueops@ea.com.

The EA SPORTS FIFA 21 Global Series Official Rules and Code of Conduct allow for disciplinary action to be taken against players determined to be in violation per Section 3.6:

  • “Any Player may be disqualified immediately from the Competition and related competitions, at the discretion of EA or its designees, for any reason, including for any failure to comply with the User Agreement, Privacy & Cookie Policy, and these Official Rules. Examples of prohibited behaviors, as well as potential penalties are detailed in the Code of Conduct attached in Appendix A.”
  • “EA, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to disqualify any Player at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Competition, or acting in violation of these Official Rules or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner and reserves the right to void all associated entries. EA’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.”

Further, the Penalties section of the Code of Conduct allows for punishment up to and including Disqualification from the EA SPORTS FIFA 21 Global Series and future competitions. EA SPORTS FIFA Global Series Penalties can be appealed by contacting eafifaleagueops@ea.com.
