I opened FC 26 after a late-night session and the Pre-Season Completionist objectives were staring at me. You feel that small, immediate tug—finish this now and you won’t be chasing scraps later. I’m going to walk you through what matters and what you should do before EA FC 27 lands.
EA has posted the Season 10: Pre-Season notes for FC 26 on its official blog, and the practical upshot is simple: complete the Pre-Season Completionist objectives and the season pass in FC 26 to earn carryover rewards for EA FC 27 Ultimate Team. These rewards are now available to collect inside FC 26, and they move with you into FC 27 if you claim them correctly.
On my commute I watched a friend scroll the objectives — Pre-Season rewards, at a glance
Here’s exactly what you can earn in FC 26 for carryover into EA FC 27 Ultimate Team:
- 60,000 FC Coins awarded in batches across objectives.
- 82+ x7 pack (Untradeable).
- PS EVO Consumable (quick step base).
- Four 81+ x3 packs (Untradeable).
- 83+ Tradeable 1-of-3 Player Pick (Tradeable).
These are separate from EA FC 27 pre-order bonuses and sit inside FC 26’s season pass and Pre-Season Completionist objective tree.
What are EA FC 27 preseason rewards?
They’re carryover items you earn inside FC 26 now and claim inside FC 27 later. Think packs that can plug gaps in early Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), a pile of FC coins to buy staple starters on the transfer market, and a high-rated tradeable pick to move your squad forward fast.
While brewing a cup I checked the calendar — Timing and claiming: when and how
EA confirmed these preseason rewards won’t appear on FC 27 at launch. Instead, they will move over during a claim window from October 9–16. You must use the same EA account that earned the items in FC 26 to redeem them, and you have a one-month window to claim everything once it appears in FC 27.
Miss the one-month redemption window and the rewards expire—no exceptions. If you play on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC (EA App/Steam), the rules are the same.
How do I claim FC 27 carryover rewards?
Step-by-step:
- Complete the Pre-Season Completionist objectives and season pass in FC 26.
- Confirm you used the EA account you’ll log into on FC 27.
- Wait for the FC 27 carryover window (Oct 9–16). Claim rewards in-game and complete any fast redemption steps before the one-month expiry.
At a streamer meetup I heard the same question — Why these packs matter
These preseason rewards are not cosmetic fluff; they change how you approach the opening weeks of Ultimate Team. Packs are like finding a cheat code at a yard sale, and the tradeable 83+ pick can act as a springboard that launches your club into orbit. You’ll use packs for early SBCs, move coins into targeted signings, and avoid the chaotic scramble of week-one auctions.
Platforms and community tools matter here: check FUT markets on third-party trackers and follow top creators on Twitch and YouTube for immediate valuation advice once the packs hit FC 27. SBCs and objectives early in a new season often have inflated requirements—these rewards help you meet them without bleeding coins.
When will FC 27 preseason rewards be available?
Carryover rewards appear in FC 27 during the Oct 9–16 window. They will not be present at launch, and you must claim them within one month of them appearing in FC 27 to keep them.
I’ve walked this path before: small in-game choices now shape your first weeks in Ultimate Team. Will you treat these rewards as routine pickups or the strategic advantage your rivals wish they’d had?
