FC 26 Latest News Roundup: Continuously Updated

FC 26 launched in September 2025, which means the game is now close to a full year old and running through its final content push before the next title arrives. The back half of any Football Ultimate Team cycle follows a familiar rhythm, and right now the game is in the middle of it: a final promo full of endgame cards, and a Pre-Season built around carrying progress into the next game.

This page is where the running list of current content lives. It gets refreshed as new drops land, and everything here is written to stay current through the end of the cycle.

FC 26 Enters Its Final Content Phase

The tail end of a Football Ultimate Team cycle is actually one of the better times to play, because the rewards get generous and card power climbs to its ceiling.

• Endgame cards arrive in bigger numbers than at any earlier point in the season.
• Objectives and SBCs lean toward easy completion, since EA wants players to feel caught up rather than left behind.
• The reward-to-effort ratio swings in your favor, which makes this a good window for returning players.

The volume of content is winding down, but what's left is usually the most valuable stuff of the whole year. If you stepped away for a few months, coming back now means less grinding for better cards.

FUTTIES Brings the Last Big Card Drop

FUTTIES is the traditional send-off promo that every FIFA and FC title ends on, and FC 26 is no different. It's the final major batch of high-rated cards before the cycle closes.

The cards in this promo are built to be endgame-ready rather than incremental upgrades. They arrive with strong preset playstyles and near-max ratings, and many are fan-favorite icons and current stars showing up again at their highest versions.

• Expect the promo to run across several weeks, with new squads and SBCs rolling in on a regular schedule.
• House Rules and themed objectives run alongside the promo, giving you reasons to play outside the usual Rivals and Squad Battles grind.
• Player SBCs are usually the best value here, since they let you lock in a specific card without relying on pack luck.

If you only pay attention to one promo this cycle, this is the one. It's where the strongest cards of the year land all at once, and the entry cost is usually lower than it looks.

Season 10 Is the Pre-Season Bridge to FC 27

Season 10 is being framed by EA as the road to the next title, which changes what the season is actually for. Earlier seasons were about the current game. This one is about setting you up for FC 27.

• The season ladder and its objectives now feed rewards that carry over into the next game.
• Progress is still earned through the usual modes, so you're not doing anything new or complicated.
• The value sits in what banks up for the next cycle rather than what you can use in FC 26 right now.

That's the key shift to understand. Time you put in now doesn't just improve your FC 26 squad, it builds a starting position for the next game before that game even launches.

Carryover Rewards Are Packs and Evolution Consumables

The carryover rewards are worth spelling out, because they're more specific than a generic "bonus" and easy to misread.

• The main rewards are untradeable player packs that land in your FC 27 club.
• Evolution consumables carry over as well, which let you upgrade cards early in the new game.
• You won't get raw coins dropped into your new club, so don't expect to start FC 27 with a tradeable balance.

The untradeable nature matters. These rewards are designed to give you a head start on squad building, not to let anyone flood the early FC 27 market with coins. That's a deliberate balance decision on EA's side.

How to Claim Your FC 27 Rewards

The catch with all carryover content is the fine print around actually receiving it.

• You need to play FC 27 on the same EA account you used for FC 26, or the rewards won't find you.
• Log in and redeem within the window after FC 27 launches, since unclaimed rewards expire.
• Pre-ordering FC 27 is the simplest way to guarantee early access and catch the first content drop.

The rewards only have value if you actually start the next game. If you're planning to skip FC 27 for a while, the Pre-Season grind is worth a lot less than it looks, because the window to claim everything is limited.

This list keeps updating through the end of the FC 26 cycle, so check back whenever a new promo or season update drops.
