How to qualify for Red Bull Wings Cup India
University League
The University League holds qualifiers at college campuses across India, and every match is played in FC 27’s Rush mode. Each win adds points to a National Leaderboard. Players can enter more than one University Qualifier, so a bad day at one campus can be made up at the next. The top of that leaderboard decides who goes to the National Final.
Open League
The Open League is for players competing from home. It runs through PlayStation Tournaments inside EA Sports FC 27 on PS5. Players sign up for Red Bull Wings Cup Open League brackets and play Ultimate Team matches to work their way toward the National Final. If you’re planning your squad, our coverage of EA’s Ultimate Team plans for FC 27 explains what changed from last year.

India National Final and the Miami World Final
The best players from both leagues meet at the India National Final. Only one wins. That player represents India at the World Final in Miami, where national winners from every participating country compete in a single event. Red Bull expects the World Final to take place in January 2027.
India is one of several countries in the series. The UK and US have their own national qualifiers, and Red Bull launched the global tournament with EA Sports in September, according to RealSport101’s report on the partnership.
