FC 26 PRE-SEASON

The FC 26 Pre-Season is the final campaign of the FC cycle in which you can win rewards for FC 27.

Pre-Season

Pre-Season is the final event of the FC 25 cycle, running from mid-August through mid-September.

This comprehensive campaign includes rewards that carry over to FC 27, earned by completing squad building challenges and objectives in FC 26. Unlike other promos, Pre-Season doesn’t introduce new teams of special cards. Instead, it focuses on bridging the transition to the next title.

Pre-Season celebrates the upcoming FC 27 launch by bringing back some of the best Player Items from FC 26, including popular FUTTIES cards from recent weeks. The event features various re-releases, giving players one final opportunity to add the season’s standout players to their Ultimate Team clubs before transitioning to FC 27.
