NFL Rivals goes live in 2023.

NFL Rivals is integrating Rarity League, an official NFL-licensed collection of one-of-a-kind, fan-inspired helmets, each comprised of an NFT that is associated with the helmet that celebrates the teams and fan culture of the NFL.

Following its inaugural sale of Super Bowl LVI participants, Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals helmets, Rarity League is announcing that the helmets for the remaining 30 NFL teams will be available for sale starting on November 15 on RarityLeague.com. A total of 708 collectibles per team will be available at the price of 0.14 ETH (Ethereum’s cryptocurrency) each.

Rarity League collectible holders will gain unique benefits in NFL Rivals, including the exclusive rights to claim a guild, where they can recruit the best gamers to compete for their guilds for rewards. By claiming a guild, Rarity League holders receive enhanced rewards and prizes, including NFL player cards, in-game currency, and resources.

NFL Rivals has exaggerated football moments.

Players holding Rarity League collectibles can also get in early to purchase NFL Rivals NFTs that can be used to build their NFL dream team. Holders also gain access to exclusive in-game tournaments that reward rare NFTs, items and resources. And all holders will have early access to NFL Rival’s private beta.

Collectors who purchase Rarity League collectibles within the first week of the November 15 release date will receive bonus rewards. By minting three helmets in a single release, one will receive a Rivals Reward Token. By minting five helmets in a single release, one will receive an additional Reward Token.

Rewards Tokens will be airdropped to the collector’s wallet before the end of November. Every Rivals Reward Token serves as a voucher for redeeming a Founder’s Edition Player Card. Each player card is a guaranteed Rare, and all of which will be playable in NFL Rivals. The offer is only good through November 21.
