Season 5 is nearly here in FC 26 Ultimate Team, promising a fresh set of rewards to chase.
With just over a week remaining in Season 4, the clock is ticking. The current season pass delivered some great cards, evolutions, and packs. Season 5 should continue this trend, so let’s examine what to expect and when the new content goes live in Ultimate Team.
The Final Whistle: FC 26 Season 5 Countdown
My neighbor, a dedicated Ultimate Team player, has his calendar marked. Season 5 arrives the moment Season 4 concludes. Expect the new season to drop on Thursday, January 29. This countdown marks the seconds until then.
The countdown aligns with these global times.
- 12am PT
- 2am CT
- 3am ET
- 8am UTC
- 9am CET
EA Sports typically rolls out new seasons in this fashion. As soon as the countdown hits zero, expect the new season pass to be available in Ultimate Team.
Season 5 Preview: What Rewards Await?
My friend argued that waiting is the hardest part. With a little time left before the season launches, concrete details are scarce. But, whispers suggest Marc Casado might appear as a Future Stars card within the season pass.
Whether he’s part of the free or paid track remains unclear. The premium pass typically costs 500,000 coins or 1,000 FC Points (€8.99), granting access to additional rewards, tradeable packs, and more.
Season 4 featured several impressive evolutions within the pass. I’m hoping for similar opportunities this season. The anticipation is a slow burn.
Will FC Points carry over to Season 5?
Based on past seasons, any unspent FC Points in your account should automatically roll over to the new season.
This means you can save up FC Points from previous seasons to spend on the Season 5 premium pass and any other offers.
Are Season Pass rewards tradeable?
The tradeable status of season pass rewards often depends on the specific item and the reward tier it is on.
Typically, rewards earned from the premium path tend to offer more tradeable rewards than the free path.
Will the Season 4 cards still be available in packs once Season 5 is released?
Once Season 5 kicks off, the Season 4 cards will no longer be available in packs.
The player pool in packs will shift to feature new cards and promotions aligned with Season 5’s theme, with a new season pass in Ultimate Team.
