KONAMI schedules eFootball v6.1.0 for October 8, 2026, across all devices. The confirmed training changes are explained below. This is a pre-release guide, checked on October 6; it is not the final patch notes.
The release date comes from KONAMI’s October 6 announcement. Training details come from its September 28 item notice. Squad advice is our editorial analysis, not an additional feature announcement.
When does eFootball 6.1.0 release?
The announced date is Thursday, October 8, 2026. KONAMI labels the release notice “All devices,” covering the current mobile, console and PC audience. Source: official release notice.
What time will maintenance end? The two notices cited here do not provide an exact maintenance window, server reopening time or download size. In Saudi Arabia, follow the official schedule in UTC and add three hours if a UTC time is published. A calendar release date alone is not a promise that servers will open at midnight.

Confirmed changes: Select Skill Tokens and Select Position Tokens
According to KONAMI’s new-item notice, these are the confirmed rules:
| Item | Confirmed rule |
|---|---|
| Select Skill Tokens | 100 train one skill of your choice. |
| Select Position Tokens | 100 train Position Proficiency of your choice. |
| Advanced Skill Tokens | Removed; each remaining token converts into 20 Select Skill Tokens during the update. Use them before the update if you want their current function. |
100 Select Skill Tokens does not mean 100 ordinary Skill Tokens or 100 Coins. Those are different item names. The notice does not announce a conversion for ordinary Skill Tokens or a player-release earning rate.
Advanced Skill Token conversion: worked examples
Using the announced conversion and training cost, the arithmetic is straightforward. These are calculated examples, not rewards promised to every account.
| Advanced tokens left | Select Skill Tokens after conversion | Selected-skill trainings funded |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 | 0, with 20 left |
| 5 | 100 | 1 |
| 12 | 240 | 2, with 40 left |
| 25 | 500 | 5 |
The calculation is remaining Advanced tokens × 20. Divide that result by 100 and round down to estimate the trainings funded by that balance alone. This conversion concerns skills; do not count it as a supply of Select Position Tokens.
Should you spend or save Advanced Skill Tokens?
Our recommendation: decide around a specific squad need. If you want the existing Advanced-token function now, compare that use with the future selected-skill budget shown above. If your priority is a particular missing skill, a planned selection may be more useful than an unplanned spend.
Neither choice automatically makes every card better. A reserve who rarely plays is usually a lower priority than a starter whose job depends on a missing skill. Do not spend simply because an item name is disappearing; consider what its converted balance would fund.
A practical checklist before October 8
- Record your item balances. Keep a screenshot so you can compare the balance after the update.
- Audit your starting eleven. Use the player database and Player Compare to review the exact card you own. Confirm its skills in-game before planning training.
- Write a short priority list. Give each target player one missing skill or position that solves a real problem in your squad.
- Check both formation phases. Map the roles in Team Builder. A player used centrally in attack and wide in defense needs a different plan from a fixed-position substitute.
- Review the available choices after updating. Check the actual training interface and eligibility before consuming items.
How to prioritize skills and positions
A passing midfielder, a wide outlet and a finisher have different jobs. Start with what fails in your matches: the first pass under pressure, receiving on the flank, or finishing a quick move. Then check the skills directory and the card’s existing abilities. Adding something already covered by the player or your tactics wastes an opportunity.
For positions, plan around repeated use in your saved formations. Do not build a squad on the assumption that every card will be eligible for every position. Position proficiency, player attributes and role suitability should be checked separately.
What is not confirmed in the cited announcements?
As checked on October 6, these notices do not establish a complete gameplay changelog, a new meta, free Epic cards, Coin rewards, token earning rates, eligible skill and position lists, or the exact file size. Treat claims about those details as unverified unless they link to a separate official announcement.
Choosing training outcomes can help you plan development; it does not by itself prove a change to passing, defending or matchmaking. For context, read the v6.0.0 season update guide. Its features belong to that earlier release and should not be relabeled as new v6.1.0 additions.
After the update: residence, Championship and connection guides
These guides were added on October 11, 2026. The training coverage above remains the pre-release guide checked on October 6.
