Updated: 16 October 2026.
Here is the full FC 27 promo calendar. It lists every Ultimate Team promo released so far, the next one coming, and the expected dates for the rest of the season up to TOTY, TOTS and FUTTIES. New promos drop on Fridays at 6pm UK time (7pm CEST). We update this page every week, so bookmark it.
What is the next promo in FC 27?
Ultimate Scream is expected on Friday 23 October 2026. Two of the most reliable leakers, AsyFutTrader and FutSheriff, both say it arrives “next week”. That fits last year, when Ultimate Scream dropped on 24 October in FC 26. EA has not announced it yet, so treat the date as very likely but not official.
It is also the theme of Season 2, and the first card has leaked: an 88 Karchaoui in the Season Pass. Everything we know is in our Ultimate Scream guide.
Ultimate Scream is a Halloween promo. The cards get one or more big boosts to individual stats instead of a normal overall upgrade. In FC 26 the boosts went as high as 99 in single attributes, so expect some silly-fast or silly-strong cards.
Before that, Future Stars Team 2 drops tonight (16 October) at 6pm UK, led by Rayan 90 and Kobbie Mainoo 89. All the ratings are in our Future Stars Team 2 article.
FC 27 promos released so far
| Promo | Start date | Status | What it brings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Destined for Glory | 25 September 2026 | Released | The launch promo, alongside Ones to Watch |
| Ones to Watch | 25 September 2026 | Released | Upgrades when a player completes a summer transfer and plays well for his new club |

| Future Stars Team 2 | 16 October 2026 | Live tonight | 15 more cards led by Rayan, Mainoo and Pubill |
Future Stars has moved a long way. In FC 26 it was a February promo. In FC 27 it is the first big promo of the season, which explains why the market has been so busy in October.

Expect fewer campaigns than usual. Reports say EA wants fewer promos in FC 27, with some campaigns running for two weeks and some Fridays bringing nothing new, especially before TOTY. We think that’s good news for anyone who felt FC 26 burned through promos too fast.
Key FC 27 dates this month
How FC 27 promos work
A promo replaces the normal versions of certain players with special cards for a limited time, usually one or two weeks. The cards come from packs, SBCs and objectives. Some promos have “live” cards that upgrade when the real player or club performs, like Ones to Watch, FC Pro Live and the Champions League promo.
Most promos come in two teams, a week apart. The second team is usually leaked a few days early, so check our FC 27 leaks page from Tuesday onwards.
How to prepare for the next FC 27 promo
- Sell before Friday 6pm. Prices of meta cards usually dip when a new promo pack goes live, then recover over the weekend.
- Keep fodder for SBCs. Every promo brings SBCs, and 84–86 rated cards jump in price on Friday evenings.
- Hold your best packs for big promos. Opening everything before Ultimate Scream or Black Friday rarely pays off.
Black Friday is the biggest market moment before TOTY. In past years prices crashed across the board that week, so it’s a good time to buy and a bad time to sell.
