EA SPORTS FC 26 World Cup Winners UT Promo: Release Details

EA Sports is preparing a new promo for EA SPORTS FC 26 Ultimate Team featuring “World Cup Winners” player cards tied to Spain’s 2026 FIFA World Cup success. The first wave of these special items is expected to arrive in packs soon, with most cards debuting at launch and one notable goalkeeper card excluded from the pack lineup.

What’s included in the FC 26 “World Cup Winners” promo

The promo will add “World Cup Winners” players to Ultimate Team.
All cards are described as being available in packs except the goalkeeper item for Unai Simón.
Every included card is said to launch with 5 PlayStyles+.

How to get these cards (and what to expect)

These cards are expected to be pack-based, meaning access will largely depend on luck.
The pack odds are described as extremely low, which should make the cards difficult to pull.
Because they are expected to appear on the transfer market, players should be prepared for high coin prices, especially during the first few weeks.

Release timing: when the cards could go live

EA Sports has not provided an official start time for the promo. However, the source expects these kinds of tournament-winner promos to follow a standard pattern, typically launching 48 hours after the relevant match.

If EA tracks that usual schedule, the cards would be expected later today at 12:00pm CT / 6:00pm BST.
An alternate outcome is possible, with a batch dropping tomorrow at the same time.
