• Week 1 — rounds 1–4. Transfer window open.
• Week 2 — rounds 5–8.
• Week 3 — rounds 9–12.
• Week 4 — rounds 13–16. Transfer window open.
• Week 5 — rounds 17–21.
• Week 6 — rounds 22–26.

Every team is required to play all of its scheduled matches each week.

Match coordination with the opposing team is the sole responsibility of the captains.

Every team must submit at least 3 availability days by Sunday at 14:00 — the days the team can play that week. Offering more than 3 is allowed.

• The days that count as availability days: Sunday to Thursday, and Saturday night.
• Holiday eves and Shabbat eves are not availability days.
• Friday is not an availability day, but a match may be played then if it suits both teams.

A team that does not submit availability on time receives a technical loss for all of that week's matches. Three weeks without availability, or repeated disregard, means expulsion from the league.

If two teams' availability days do not overlap, contact the league admin. A match may be postponed by one week only — it must be played the following week.

Matches are played between 20:30 and 00:00 unless both teams agree otherwise.

Every team must keep its roster up to date in the app. A player who is not registered in the squad and takes part in a match results in a technical loss.

Enter every match with at least 8 players. An ANY player is mandatory in every match — even with 11 full players — so a crash or disconnection has cover.

Up to 2 foreign players are allowed per team.

Every player must have their gamertag set in the app.

Each player may hold only one player card in the app. Creating an additional card without explicit admin approval is a serious violation and leads to immediate suspension.

A full lineup must be uploaded to the app before kick-off. No lineup — technical loss. No retroactive uploads.

A player may move to another team only while a transfer window is open, regardless of their status.

• Every transfer requires the approval of both the player and the manager.
• A manager is under no obligation to approve a transfer.

• Opening window — the first rounds of the season (announced by the league).
• Mid-season window — the rounds announced by the league.

Each player may make up to 2 transfers per season.

• No transfers during the Play-In and the Playoffs.
• From the end of the mid-season window there are no transfers at all until the season ends.

Squad compliance is the teams' responsibility alone. Unregistered player = forfeited match and a penalty.

When a new team joins the league, players may move to it as follows:

• Transfer window open — only players who have not used up their transfer limit may move to the new team.
• Transfer window closed — a player who still has transfers left may move to the incoming team, provided the manager of their current team agrees to release them. This is an exception to rule 13.

More than 15 minutes late — technical loss.

A crash in the first 10 minutes — the match can be restarted. After 10 minutes — play on.

• If a player crashes after minute 10, the match may be left at half-time and a separate half played instead.

The full 90 minutes must be played. Forfeiting — technical loss in the next match.

A captain may request a technical win up to 12 hours after the match. Once those 12 hours have passed there is no option to claim one — the result stands.

Time-wasting within the rules of the game is allowed.

Allowed in all situations.

• Defenders (three centre-backs in a back three, or two centre-backs plus a defensive midfielder in a back four): up to 1.89 m (6'2").
• Other outfield players: up to 1.84 m (6'0").
• Goalkeepers: up to 1.92 m (6'4").
• Heights may be filmed in centimetres or inches.
• A height check may be requested only at half-time; the request goes to the opposing captain, who must record one continuous video from TEAM MANAGEMENT showing it is from this match and each player's height.

AMPs are the boosts introduced in FC27. Only the temporary AMPs — the small ones — may be used.

• Allowed: temporary (small) AMPs.
• Not allowed: player AMPs — for example Mbappé's AMP, or any other player's.

Until a fix is released in FC27, chip shots are not allowed. Any goal scored with a chip shot will be disallowed.

• 7 vs 14
• 8 vs 13
• 9 vs 12
• 10 vs 11
