We are finally getting the FC 26 preseason rewards that we had grinded for in the latter stages of FC 25.
They are set to be given out to those who completed it by today. In case you have forgotten about it here is everything you need to know.
Claiming your preseason rewards is straightforward. Simply log into FC 26 Ultimate Team after the daily reset, and your rewards will be waiting for you. Once received, you can make your player picks immediately and open packs from the store.
The system is designed to be seamless, but keep in mind one important restriction: you can only claim rewards on the same EA Account where they were earned, and they cannot be transferred between console families.
The preseason reward lineup includes several high-value packs and exclusive items. Here’s the full breakdown of what you can earn based on what you accomplished in FC 25:
The Griddy Celebration: This unique emote is available only if you completed the entire Griddy to Glory Daily Completionist objective series in FC 25. So expect your champs weekend to be filled with this celebration after every goal.
84+ x5 Player Pack: One of the most valuable rewards in the lineup, this pack guarantees five players rated 84 or higher. Given how EA has taken a slower power curve approach, most rival and champs rewards don’t offer that many packs. This could be a gamechanger for many players who completed this in FC 25.
83+ x3 Player Pack: This mid tier pack awards three players rated 83 or above. This rewards comes by by completing The Club is Yours III evolution challenge. Another solid pack given how these packs go everyone will be either 83 or 84 so good fodder for SBCs.
82+ x5 Player Pack: A solid mid range pack with five players rated 82 or higher. This reward comes from completing the Pre Season Crafting Upgrade Completionist objective.
81+ x7 Player Pack: Seven players rated 81 or above create a substantial boost to your squad. You get this if you completed the Road to FC 26 Evolution. This pack should have been distributed at the first week of the season as now even good SBCs require 84-85 rated players.
2x 80+ x10 Player Packs: These are among the most substantial rewards, offering ten players rated 80 or above in each pack. You earn one by completing The Club is Yours I objective and another by finishing The Club is Yours II. This could end up being a solid pull with a walkout or a bunch of 82 rated players, luckily you receive 2 packs.
Five Game Loan Icon Pick: if you had completed The Club is Yours I objective, you also receive a loan player pick featuring Icon cards good for five matches. This gives you a chance to trial elite historical players.
Five Game Loan Hero Pick: You will earn this reward if you completed The Club is Yours II objective to earn this loan pick featuring Hero cards, also usable for five matches.
Exclusive Box-to-Box++ Evolution: This special evolution is available for all center midfielder cards rated 83 OVR or below. You will unlock it if you completed The Club is Yours II objective, giving you the chance to upgrade your midfielders with an enhanced card.
If you purchased FC 26’s Ultimate Edition and claimed your Debut Icons, there’s more good news on the horizon. In November 2025, your icons are set to receive an upgrade to their Champion versions, providing an additional boost to your squad as the season progresses.
EA FC 26’s preseason rewards system rewards loyalty and engagement with FC 25. Whether you were a casual player who completed a few objectives or a dedicated grinder who maxed out the season pass and completed every evolution, there’s something for you in this lineup. Most importantly the slower power curve means these packs are going to be more rewarding than most players thought.
