To celebrate in FC 27, score a goal and then press Cross (A) for the scorer’s signature celebration, Circle (B) for a random one, or hold L1, L2, R1 or R2 and add a button or a right stick move for a specific celebration. FC 27 adds 11 new celebrations, and the most searched classics, Show Respect and Calm Down, are still in the game.
| Celebration | PlayStation | Xbox / PC controller |
|---|---|---|
| Signature celebration | ✕ (Cross) | A |
| Random celebration | ○ (Circle) | B |
| Skip your celebration | L1 + R1 | LB + RB |
| Show Respect | Hold L1 + double tap ○ | Hold LB + double tap B |
| Calm Down (“Calma”), offline only | Hold L1 + double tap △ | Hold LB + double tap Y |
| Right Here Right Now (unlockable) | Hold R1 + ○ | Hold RB + B |
| Knee Slide | Hold R1 + flick right stick left twice | Hold RB + flick right stick left twice |
These are the default inputs. “Flick” means a quick push of the right stick in that direction, and “hold” means keeping it there until the animation starts.

How to do a celebration in FC 27
- Score. You get control of the scorer as soon as the ball crosses the line.
- Add a running move if you want one. While the scorer runs, hold a button or a right stick direction, for example hold R3 for the Aeroplane.
- Hold the modifier. Every finishing move starts with L1, L2, R1 or R2 (LB, LT, RB or RT). Keep it held.
- Enter the second input. Press or double tap a face button, or flick, hold or spin the right stick. Which one depends on the celebration in the tables below.
- Or keep it simple. Press Cross (A) for the signature celebration or Circle (B) for a random one.
- Done early? Press L1 + R1 (LB + RB) to skip the rest and get back to kick off.

Running moves
Running moves need no modifier. Do them while the scorer is still running.
- Aeroplane: hold R3 (press and hold the right stick).
- Point to Sky: hold the right stick up.
- Telephone: hold the right stick down.
- Heart Symbol: flick the right stick down, then hold it down.
- Windmill: spin the right stick clockwise.
- Thumb Suck: hold Square (X).
Signature celebrations
Press Cross (A) after a goal and the scorer does his own signature celebration, if EA has given him one. Only certain star players have a personal animation. Some celebrations on the same button depend on where you are: run to the camera for Finger Swipe or Cry Baby, or to the advertising boards for the Selfie.
Can you do the Griddy in FC 27?
The Griddy has no button combination of its own in the FC 27 celebration list. The input older guides give for it, hold R2 (RT) and flick the right stick up twice, now triggers the new Nap celebration instead.
In FC 26 the Griddy was an Ultimate Team reward that only returning players could equip. We have not seen EA confirm a way to unlock it in FC 27, so check the celebration list in the in-game controls menu for what your account has.
Common mistakes
- Letting go of the modifier. Keep L1, L2, R1 or R2 held while you enter the second input, or the game reads it as a different celebration.
- Trying Calm Down online. It is marked offline only, so it will not trigger in Rivals or Champions.
- Using a locked celebration. Chair, Balance, Power Slide, Duel and the other unlockables do nothing until you have unlocked them.
- Mixing up flick and hold. Hold R1 + hold the stick left is Power Slide. Hold R1 + flick left twice is the Knee Slide.
- Waiting too long. If you do nothing, the game picks a celebration for you.
What changed in FC 27
- 11 new celebrations: Motorbike, Walk, Nap, Round Up, Chair, Balance, Power Slide, Spin, Slide and Roar, Duel and Jump Dance.
- Some inputs moved. Hold R2 + flick up twice was Eyes and Arms last year and is Nap now. If an old favourite does something new, check the table above.
- The classics kept their buttons. Signature, random, skip, Show Respect, Knee Slide and Calm Down use the same inputs as in FC 26.
