Fastest XP Grinding Methods

Season XP is earned through multiple channels. Here are the most efficient methods ranked by XP per hour:

1. Solo Challenges (1,500-2,000 XP/hour)

The Season 1 solo challenge chain contains 75 challenges across five difficulty tiers. Completing all 75 challenges on the highest difficulty awards approximately 85,000 XP, enough to reach Tier 25 by itself. The “Legendary” difficulty challenges offer double XP but require an 84+ OVR team for consistent success.

2. House Rules Events (1,200-1,800 XP/hour)

Weekly rotating House Rules events feature unique gameplay modifiers and award bonus XP. The launch week “No Punt Intended” event forces both players to go for it on every fourth down, creating high-scoring, fast games perfect for XP farming.

3. Head-to-Head Seasons (1,000-1,500 XP/hour)

Online play awards XP based on game completion rather than wins, so even losses contribute to your Field Pass progress. Winning in higher divisions awards bonus XP multipliers.

4. Solo Battles (800-1,200 XP/hour)

Weekly Solo Battles against CPU-controlled versions of real player teams. The featured opponent each week awards triple XP, making it the single most efficient XP source in the game.

Strategic Tips

Do not waste coins on packs early. The Field Pass provides more than enough free players to build a competitive 85 OVR team by Tier 30. Save your coins for the mid-season market crash when new promos cause existing card prices to drop 30-40%.

Complete all daily objectives every day. The daily objective group awards 500 XP and takes roughly 15 minutes. Over eight weeks, that is 28,000 XP from dailies alone—nearly twenty percent of the total Field Pass requirement.
