What Is FC 26 Rush Mode & Where to Play It

• EA FC 26 Rush mode is a 5v5 game format with one goalkeeper (either AI or optionally player controlled in Clubs) and four outfield players (run by the player).

• Kick-Off, Clubs, Career / Youth Tournaments, and Ultimate Team are all key modes that include the idea.

• You and up to three friends form a team and choose  players in Ultimate Team Rush, then battle against each other in 5v5 battles.

• Clubs Rush is more dependent on teamwork and club unity as you can eliminate AI outfield players and even take charge of the goalkeeper.

• Kick-Off Rush lets you select national or club teams to play 5v5 matches online or locally.

• Youth/Career Mode Rush: youth players can prepare battles by taking part in special 5v5 youth events.

• Match Rating, the basis of matchmaking, takes into account more than just wins; your attempts are important.
• Players who quit games early could be hit with matchmaking delays, which may last anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.

Rules, Mechanics & Differences in FC 26

• Pitch and match length: In order to promote tighter play, Rush uses a smaller field.
• There is no halftime; matches last seven minutes. One-on-one shootouts or extra time may be used in tied games.
• Only in the attacking third is offside valid.
• Under the blue card system, major infractions are penalized with a one-minute sideline penalty (blue card) rather than a straight red.

• Goalkeeper control: For more strategic decisions in Clubs Rush, you can manually control the goalkeeper’s movements (Y/Triangle or RS/R3).
• Paused players: a “pause” icon displays up when an opponent takes a break in the middle of a match. AI might pass the ball to a teammate if they had it.
• Squad Building/Events: To meet competition requirements, you and your teammates have ninety seconds to form a five-player team in UT Rush. It is not allowed to have duplicate players.

Earning Rush Points & Objectives

• The primary currency for progress is Rush Points. Earn them by playing in and winning games, bringing friends along, and finishing “blocks”, bonus goals, during squad development.

• For extra points, blocks must fulfill certain criteria (such as origin, position combinations, and pace thresholds).
