FC 27 Promo Calendar: Every Ultimate Team Promo and Release Date

Updated: 24 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). EA has now shown its official roadmap for Seasons 2, 3 and 4, and we have added it below. We update this page every week, so bookmark it.

What is the next promo in FC 27?

Ultimate Scream Team 1 went live on Friday 23 October 2026 at 6pm UK (7pm CEST), and Team 2 is expected on Friday 30 October. EA confirmed that Ultimate Scream items get a temporary 99 stat and full in-position chemistry on the 24 November Beaver Moon. AsyFutTrader and FutSheriff both leaked the same Team 1 line-up on 20 October, led by Raphinha, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ultimate Scream Heroes Stam, Zola and Mandžukić, and on 22 October Asy started posting what he calls the official stats (Raphinha 90, Ronaldo 89). That fits last year, when Ultimate Scream dropped on 24 October in FC 26. The leaks were right on the date, the ratings and the positions.

Season 2 itself went live on Thursday 22 October with a different theme, FC Heritage, and runs until 3 December: see our Season 2 FC Heritage guide for every Season Pass reward. EA’s roadmap lists four Ultimate Team campaigns for Season 2: Ultimate Scream, UEFA Road to the Knockouts, Hall of FUT Unleashed and Black Friday Thunderstruck. Everything we know about the promo 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.

EA’s official FC 27 roadmap: Seasons 2 to 5

On 22 October, the day Season 2 went live, EA SPORTS FC Direct posted a roadmap of the “selected highlights” coming to FC 27. It confirms Team of the Year for Season 4 (January to February), Winter Wildcards for Season 3 and Black Friday Thunderstruck for Season 2. EA gives months, not exact dates, so the dates in our calendar further down are still our predictions.

Two campaigns are new names. EA has not explained Hall of FUT Unleashed yet, and the Season 3 campaign with new historic players is only marked “coming soon”. Across all seasons, EA also promises Career Creator Challenges and Live Starting Points, new Grounds Kickabouts and Grounds Live Events, plus balancing and quality of life updates.

FC 27 promos released so far

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.

Expected FC 27 promo calendar

The dates below are our predictions. They follow EA’s Friday rhythm and the order of last year’s promos. “EA roadmap” means the promo is on EA’s official roadmap, but the exact date is still our prediction. We move a promo to “Confirmed” as soon as EA or at least two leakers back up the date.

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.

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 to 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.
