  • Exclusive Icon at launch (non-tradable)
  • An additional Evolution slot (also available at launch)
  • 4600–6000 FC Points (exact amount yet to be confirmed)
  • Premium Season Pass for the full first season (starting from release)
  • Seven days of early access
  • Exclusive icons for FC 25 Ultimate Team

EA Sports FC 26 Release Timeline

If you don’t want to miss out on anything regarding EA Sports FC 26, Electronic Arts has already revealed a concrete release schedule.

Closed beta testing is expected to begin in August (exact date unknown, but likely before the August 26 pre-order deadline). Then in early September, the player ratings will be revealed. The Web App will launch on September 17, followed by the Companion App on September 18.
