When are competitions opened on Sorare Football?

Starting GW 5, to initiate a football (Champion, Contender, Challenger, U23, Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, MLS) competition, at least 10 licensed teams must participate for the competition to be officially opened. This rule ensures sufficient engagement and competitiveness within the league for the competition.

For Champions, Challengers, and Contender competitions to open, the licensed teams need to be participating in a league fixture for those competitions to open.

Champion opens if at least two different leagues (at least 10 licensed teams) are playing during the Game Week unless Serie A or French Championship is the only league playing.

For example: the Champion opens if 10 licensed teams from Serie A or French Championship are playing. The Champion opens if 10 licensed teams from Premier League and LaLiga are playing. If 10 Premier League teams are playing and less the 10 teams from another league, the Champion will not be opened. 

U23 opens during international breaks or international competitions. 

There could be exceptions to this, depending on the situation.

Important: If a competition is opened by mistake, and there are not enough licensed teams playing during this Game Week, the competition may be closed in accordance with our rules and Sorare will not offer compensation (e.g. if Managers purchase cards specifically for that Game Week and that competition).
