FC 26 ULTIMATE TEAM FIRST STEPS
Before you start playing Ultimate Team, there are a few things you need to do first.
First Steps
We understand the excitement of diving straight into the new FC cycle. However, it’s worth taking a moment to slow down and avoid rushing through every screen you see.
We’re here to guide you through your first steps in FC 26 Ultimate Team, especially if this is your first or one of your first seasons. Spend a couple of minutes with our Walkthrough Guide and set yourself up to build the team of your dreams.
Note: If you’re starting via the Web or Companion App, the visuals might look slightly different from the ones shown on this page.
Before jumping into gameplay, there are a few quick steps to optimze your start:
- Choose your Starter Pack;
- Check Your First Players;
- Complete Your First Objective.
The Starter Pack
The first thing you’ll be asked to do is choose your starter pack. Unlike previous years, this time you’ll have to choose a pair of leagues rather than a nationality. The combo you choose will determine the leagues of most players in your starting squad, including your highest-rated one.
If you already have a team-building strategy in mind, factor that into your decision. Once you’ve made your choice, an animation will reveal your top-rated player and unveil your squad for the first time.
Keep in mind that your starting team won’t be very strong, but that just means the only way is up.

Your First Players
Once you’ve made your choice, an animation will reveal your top-rated player and unveil your squad for the first time. You will randomly receive cards from the following categories:
- One Manager;
- Four Gold Players;
- Six Silver Players;
- Eleven Bronze Players.
In previous years, you would also select a badge and a kit, but this time it’s assigned automatically at random. Later, you can switch to others that better match your preferences.
Let’s Get Started
Rather than jumping straight to the Ultimate Team main screen for the first time, select [Advance] to claim your first big card.
In FC 26, this is no longer a loan player. You can choose one of five top untradeable items by completing the easiest objective you’ll ever do: make five ground passes and take one shot on target.
Once that’s done, which shouldn’t even take a minute, go to the [Objectives] tab and redeem the Player Pick waiting for you.
Now you’re truly ready to begin!
