EA Sports FC 26 Pre-Order Bonuses Potentially Leaked Ahead of Official Reveal

The pre-order rewards for EA Sports FC 26 may have been leaked before EA officially announces the game’s release date and showcases it in full. The upcoming installment in the EA Sports FC series is rumored to offer bonuses that span both EA Sports FC 26 and its predecessor, EA Sports FC 25, giving fans something to enjoy while they wait for this year’s launch.

Following EA’s split from FIFA in 2023, the company introduced the EA Sports FC franchise, kicking things off with EA Sports FC 24 in September of that year. While no longer carrying the FIFA branding, the series continues to deliver the classic single-player and multiplayer experiences players expect — including the fan-favorite Ultimate Team mode.

What’s in the Leak?

Twitter user Fut Sheriff, a well-known source of EA Sports FC leaks, has shared what appear to be the pre-order rewards for the Ultimate Edition of EA Sports FC 26.

If the leak proves accurate, players who pre-order will receive:

• An untradeable base Icon
• An extra Evolution slot
• 4,600 to 6,000 FC Points
• Season 1 Premium Pass
• Up to 7 days early access
• A special 93+ Icon Evolution item for EA Sports FC 25
• Additional unconfirmed rewards

The 93+ Icon Evolution is particularly notable, as it provides a unique bonus for players still enjoying EA Sports FC 25, bridging the gap until the new game launches.

Pre-Order Deadline and Possible Release Date

According to the leak, players must pre-order the Ultimate Edition by August 26, 2025 to secure these rewards. That date is one month ahead of the rumored launch on September 26, 2025, a date that aligns with previous leaks and EA’s typical release schedule. An official confirmation is expected this summer, potentially alongside EA’s next Battlefield reveal.

New Heroes May Be Coming

In addition to these pre-order bonuses, EA Sports FC 26 is rumored to introduce new Ultimate Team Heroes. Leaked names include legendary footballers like Cesc Fàbregas, Mario Mandžukić, and Michael Carrick. If these additions are real, fans can look forward to expanding their squads with fresh icons when the game launches later this year.

Multi-Platform Release Expected

EA Sports FC 26 is expected to launch across all major platforms — including the Nintendo Switch 2, further broadening its reach. With a mix of nostalgic rewards and new features, the next installment is shaping up to be a major milestone for EA’s football franchise.
