Event Information

The Challenge

A month-long FC 26 skills competition hosted across Atlanta Parks & Rec and YMCA locations, culminating in a live in-person final.

How scoring works

Compete at any participating Atlanta Parks & Rec or YMCA location during the active week.
An on-site host verifies your run and submits your score before the Sunday 11:59 PM deadline.
Scores appear on the Weekly Leaderboard as soon as they're entered. The week's top 4 lock in finals spots.
Players outside the weekly top 4 stay in contention for one of 16 monthly qualifier spots, based on their single best weekly score.
All 32 qualifiers play in person at the National Soccer Day Showdown on July 28th.

National Soccer Day Showdown

Atlanta, GA

32 qualifiers. One champion. Bracket and venue details drop in the Discord as the date approaches.

Weekly path: finish in the top 4 of any week and you're locked in (4 spots × 4 weeks = 16 finals invites).
Monthly path: the 16 highest single weekly scores from players who didn't already qualify weekly fill the remaining 16 finals spots.
You can only qualify once. If you finish weekly top 4, your name is removed from the monthly pool so the next contender gets a shot.

Weekly recaps, venue announcements, and final bracket reveals all happen in our Discord. It's the fastest way to keep up with the event.
