eFootball Event Calendar
How Events, Phases and Campaigns Work

eFootball has no fixed, published event calendar. Konami runs Events in Phases that follow the real football season and announces them as they go live in the in-game Campaign Hub. The fixed rhythms you can plan around are eFootball League Phases of about 28 days and daily login bonuses that reset at 02:00 UTC.

Looking for the World Cup event? It has ended.

The summer 2026 World Cup event period is over. Konami's v6.0.0 update notes open by saying the football festival that had fans glued to the action this summer has finished and it is time for a new season. World Cup-themed Events and campaigns were tied to that period. For what the new season changed, read our v6.0.0 guide.

How the eFootball Event Cycle Works

Konami's official overview says the Dream Team experience is divided into "Phases". During each Phase you can play in-game Events such as PvP Challenge Events and VS AI Tour Events, themed on the latest football trends. Konami adds that signing players who fit an Event's theme gives you an advantage in that Event, and that new types of Events are added over time.

Because Events follow the real football season, their themes, dates and rewards change each time. That is why we do not publish month-by-month predictions: any calendar that names future drops or dates without a Konami announcement is a guess.

Campaign Hub

Open [Home] > [Missions] > [Campaign Hub]. It is where you earn rewards from current campaigns, and it gathers the latest Event information in one place. Its theme and design change with the current Event.

Line Objectives

A noughts and crosses-style board of missions. Each completed space gives a reward, and filling a line in any direction gives an extra Line Reward. Konami sets missions for both beginners and returning users.

The Event Types Konami Names

These names come from Konami's overview and its Online PvP Setup page, which also says which connection method each mode uses.

PvP Challenge Events

Menu: Events

Konami lists PvP Challenge Events among the in-game Events of each Dream Team Phase. Signing players that fit an Event's theme gives you an advantage in that Event, so read the conditions before you build a squad for it.

Format: Matches against other users, themed on current football.
Connection: Client-server (penalty shootout Challenge Events use P2P)

VS AI Tour Events

Menu: Events

Tour Events let you progress against the AI, which suits players who prefer not to play PvP. Like other Events, they follow the theme of the current Phase.

Format: Matches against the AI.
Connection: Not listed by Konami (AI opponent)

Ranking and Themed Events

Menu: Events

Konami lists Ranking Events and Themed Events as modes played on the client-server method, which it uses where results matter most. On console and PC, Ranking Events combine console and PC results when cross-platform play is on.

Format: User matches with a ranking or theme.
Connection: Client-server

Co-op Events and Strike Arena

Menu: Events

Konami names Co-op Event and Strike Arena as group match modes. Co-op may not be available in certain countries or regions, and Konami notes it can be blocked by some network environments.

Format: Group matches with other users.
Connection: Client-server

eFootball League

Menu: Match

Not an event, but the main recurring cycle. Each Phase lasts about 28 days and the next one begins immediately, so it is the closest thing eFootball has to a fixed calendar.

Format: PvP and VS AI categories, Divisions 1 to 10.
Connection: Client-server

eFootball League Phases: The Fixed Rhythm

Each eFootball League Phase lasts about 28 days and the next begins straight away. At the end of a Phase, rewards are given for your highest Division reached, and Rankings and Ratings are reset. Your starting Division in the new Phase depends on the highest Division you reached, as in Konami's table below.

Highest Division reachedStarting Division next Phase
Division 1Division 3
Division 2Division 4
Division 3Division 5
Division 4Division 6
Division 5Division 7
Division 6Division 8
Division 7Division 9
Division 8Division 9
Division 9Division 9
Division 10Division 10

The Three eFootball League Reward Types

From Konami's FAQ. The amounts change between Phases, so check the reward list in the game.

1

First-Time Promotion Rewards

Earned the first time you reach a Division. When a new Phase starts, you get all First-Time Promotion Rewards for the Divisions below your starting Division.

2

Phase Rewards

Earned at the end of a Phase, based on the highest Division you reached in that Phase.

3

Ranking Rewards

Earned at the end of a Phase, based on your final Ranking. They are given out based on the previous Phase, which you can check under [eFootball League] > [PvP Category] > [Ranking] > [Change Filter] > [Previous Phase].

How to Keep Track Without a Calendar

Simple habits, based on how Konami delivers Events and rewards.

Check the Campaign Hub when you log in

It carries the current Event information and campaign rewards in one place, and changes with each Event.

Claim the daily login bonus after 02:00 UTC

Login information resets at 02:00 UTC each day. Work out what that is in your time zone so you do not miss a day.

Open your Inbox

Login bonuses, Event rewards and presents from the administration are sent to the Inbox, not added automatically.

Follow the official channels

Konami posts update information and notices such as end-date changes on the official eFootball site, and on X at @play_eFootball.

Build for the Event theme

Konami says players that match an Event's theme give you an advantage in that Event. Read the entry conditions before you sign anyone for it.

Watch the Coin cap

Paid plus free eFootball Coins cannot exceed 9,999,999, and paid Coins are capped at 99,999. Anything above the limit is lost when you claim it.

Events and the Special Player List

Event-linked players usually appear on the Special Player List in the Contract menu. Konami describes it as the place to sign players who put in top performances in real matches, players from featured leagues, and football legends, and notes that it may not be available in certain countries or regions. Offers on it have end dates (Konami's news list carried an "End Date Change" notice for one on 2 October 2026), so a player you see today may not be signable later.

If you want to know how good a card is before you spend on it, look it up in our player database or the tier list built from the game data.

Missed Past Events?

Some players buy an account that already holds cards from earlier Events. As of October 2026, 77 accounts were listed on eFootball Market, with a median asking price of $100. Payment is held in escrow until you log in, secure the account and confirm it matches the listing, and disputes are reviewed by an admin.

Buying or selling accounts is against Konami's Terms of Use. Escrow protects your payment, not the account's standing with Konami.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does eFootball have an official event calendar?

Konami does not publish a fixed year-long event calendar. Events are announced as they start, in the game's Campaign Hub ([Home] > [Missions] > [Campaign Hub]) and in the news section of the official eFootball site. Konami describes Events as following the "hot topics" of the football season, and says new types of Events are added over time.

How long is an eFootball League Phase?

According to Konami's FAQ, each eFootball League Phase lasts about 28 days, and a new Phase begins immediately after the previous one ends. At the end of a Phase you receive rewards for the highest Division you reached, and Rankings and Ratings are reset.

Why did I drop Divisions at the start of a new Phase?

Your starting Division in a new Phase depends on the highest Division you reached in the last one. Division 1 starts you in Division 3, Division 2 in Division 4, and so on down to Division 7, which starts you in Division 9. Divisions 8 and 9 start in Division 9, and Division 10 starts in Division 10. You can also earn all First-Time Promotion Rewards for the Divisions below your starting Division.

What time do eFootball login bonuses reset?

Login information resets at 02:00 UTC every day, and you can claim a new login bonus after the reset. Since v6.0.0 you can also check the Login Bonus from inside Missions.

Where do my event rewards go?

Konami says some rewards, including presents from the administration, login bonuses and Event rewards, are sent to your Inbox. If a reward seems to be missing, check the Inbox first. For eFootball League Ranking Rewards, check your previous Phase ranking under [eFootball League] > [PvP Category] > [Ranking].

Is the eFootball World Cup event still running?

No. The summer 2026 World Cup event period is over.

Can I earn eFootball Coins from events?

Yes. Konami's FAQ says eFootball Coins can be bought in the Shop and also earned by completing objectives and taking part in events. You can hold up to 99,999 paid Coins, and paid plus free Coins together cannot exceed 9,999,999. Anything above those limits is lost, so spend before claiming large rewards if you are near the cap.

What is the Campaign Hub in eFootball?

The Campaign Hub is where you earn rewards from current campaigns, and it gathers the latest Event information in one place. Its theme and design change with the current Event. Open it from [Home] > [Missions] > [Campaign Hub].
