You can count on the majority of these promos making an appearance in EA FC 26, including staples like TOTY, TOTS, and FUTTIES—cornerstones of the game’s annual calendar. EA has also shown enthusiasm for newer events such as Thunderstruck, Trailblazers, and Centurions, and we anticipate their return this season.
As for the Path to Glory campaign, last year’s versions centered around international competitions like the Men’s Euros and Copa America. With the FIFA World Cup 2026 on the horizon, there’s a strong likelihood EA may launch a limited-time licensing deal for the tournament in Ultimate Team, or at the very least, an event with a World Cup theme under a different name.
What are Promos in FC 26 Ultimate Team?
Promotions in EA FC 26 are temporary campaigns that typically unfold weekly or bi-weekly. Each event follows a specific theme, introducing high-rated cards to enhance gameplay, alongside various SBCs and Evolutions. For example, the Road to the Knockouts features live cards that upgrade based on the player’s real-life performance.
In addition to the promos on our calendar, expect to see events like Shapeshifters and the Showdown Series, among others, to bridge the gaps between these major campaigns. You can look forward to updates as the year progresses.
Where are New Promos Released?
New promos typically go live on Fridays at 1 PM ET (6 PM BST/10 AM PT). Keep in mind that not every week will see a new promo, as EA may opt to release multiple squads for a specific campaign. For instance, FC 25’s Shapeshifters lasted a whole month, featuring four different squad releases.
Regardless, it’s wise to log in on Fridays because the developers ensure some new content is dropped, whether it’s new EVOs, SBCs, or Challenges.
That wraps up our EA FC 26 promo calendar. Exciting times are ahead! Be sure to bookmark this article as we’ll be continuously updating it with the latest news. Until then, share your favorite promo in the comments!
