How to qualify for the FC Pro Open

For a player to have a chance to qualify, they must register at the start of every new season, in order to compete in the FC Pro Ladder. Registrations started in September for a limited period during the start of the season. After registering for the competition, eligible players were required to reach division 3 on PS5 for the FC Pro Game Mode to be available to compete for the FC Pro Ladder. From 1st October till 7th October, players were required to play the FC Pro Ladder between 6pm-10pm. The players were classified with a so-called ELO rating. The most important part for this ELO Rating is that the players rating could be used for tiebreaker purposes to understand which players will make it to the next phase or not. 

The top players from different regions then compete in an online competition for a place in the final qualifier before the live broadcasted tournament held in London. To earn a spot in the live tournaments, players compete in a swiss format followed by a double-elimination knockout stage to secure their place in the finals.
