eFootball 2026 Kicks Off Football Festival Campaign With Free Epic Player Reward

KONAMI has launched the eFootball Festival Campaign in eFootball 2026, introducing a new progression system, limited-time events, and the opportunity to earn a free Epic player. The campaign runs until August 13, 2026, with players able to unlock rewards by completing matches and progressing through a new event map.

At the center of the update is the Choose Your Path Campaign Hub, a new progression feature that replaces the traditional linear reward track. Players earn Map Moves by completing eligible PvP and VS AI matches, then use them to navigate different routes on the campaign map. Each path offers its own rewards, allowing players to prioritize specific items before reaching the campaign's final prize.

Completing the entire map grants a Selection Contract that can be exchanged for one player from the Epic: Legends Assemble Special collection. Confirmed options include Rui Costa, Shinji Ono, Frank Rijkaard, Daniele Massaro, Dennis Bergkamp, Paul Scholes, Marco Reus, Mark van Bommel, and David Seaman. Two additional Epic players remain undisclosed and will be revealed during the eFootball CONNECT in World Festival livestream on July 26.

The celebration also introduces new premium player packs. The Tournament Stars 2026 collection highlights standout performers from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, headlined by Big Time Erling Haaland. The update also adds Show Time Harry Kane and Show Time Cristian Romero, each featuring exclusive in-game skills.

The Football Festival Campaign will remain available until August 13, the same date many players expect eFootball 2027 to be officially introduced, although KONAMI has not yet confirmed the next installment's release.
