Updated: 13 November 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 CET). 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.
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.
| Promo | FC 26 date | Expected FC 27 date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team of the Week | Every Wednesday | Every Wednesday | Confirmed |
| Ultimate Scream | 24 October 2025 | 23 and 30 October 2026 | Released |
| UEFA Road to the Knockouts | 7 November 2025 (UEFA Primetime) | 6 November 2026 | Released |
| Hall of FUT Unleashed | New in FC 27 | 13 November 2026 | Released |
| FC Pro Live | 21 November 2025 | Not announced (20 November is now leaked for Black Friday) | Expected |
| Black Friday: Thunderstruck | 28 November 2025 | 20 November 2026 (leaked) | Leaked |
| New campaign with new historic players | 5 to 12 December 2025 (Joga Bonito / Unbreakables) | 4 to 11 December 2026 | EA roadmap |
| Winter Wildcards | 19 December 2025 | 18 December 2026 | EA roadmap |
| Festive Showdowns | New in FC 27 | December 2026 (Season 3) | EA roadmap |
| New Year promo (Time Warp slot) | 2 January 2026 | 1 January 2027 | Expected |
| Team of the Year (TOTY) | 16 January 2026 | 15 January 2027 | EA roadmap |
| Fantasy FC | 20 February 2026 | 19 February 2027 | Expected |
| FUT Birthday | 6 March 2026 | 5 March 2027 | Expected |
| Road to the Final | 27 March 2026 | 26 March 2027 | Expected |
| Team of the Season (TOTS) | 17 April 2026 | 16 April 2027 | Expected |
| Summer promos | June to July 2026 | June to July 2027 | Expected |
| FUTTIES | 24 July 2026 | 23 July 2027 | Expected |
| Pre-Season | 28 August 2026 | 27 August 2027 | Expected |
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.
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 1 | 9 October 2026 | Released | Young talents with boosted cards and the Future Stars Academy evo |
| Future Stars Team 2 | 16 October 2026 | Released | 15 more cards led by Rayan, Mainoo and Pubill |
| Ultimate Scream Team 1 | 23 October 2026 | Released | Halloween cards with big single-stat boosts, led by Raphinha and Cristiano Ronaldo |
| Ultimate Scream Team 2 | 30 October 2026 | Released | Second team led by Olise, Hero Ginola and Messi, plus Reijnders, Jonny and Schüller SBCs |
| Road to the Knockouts Team 1 | 6 November 2026 | Released | 30 live cards led by Dembélé, Bellingham and Pedri, upgrading with club results in the European league phase, plus the Openda SBC |
| Hall of FUT Unleashed Team 1 | 13 November 2026 | Released | 19 retired greats led by Hulk and Walcott at 90, plus the Florenzi SBC and McGeady in the Hall of FUT League |
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.
What is the next promo in FC 27?
Hall of FUT Unleashed went live on Friday 13 November at 6pm UK (7pm CET). Team 1 brings 19 retired names in packs, led by Hulk 90 ST and Theo Walcott 90 RW, plus an Alessandro Florenzi SBC and Aiden McGeady as the Hall of FUT League reward. Every card is in our Hall of FUT Unleashed article and the launch night is in our release article. EA has not given a date for Team 2 yet.
UEFA Road to the Knockouts went live a week earlier, on Friday 6 November at 6pm UK (7pm CET), and Ultimate Scream left packs at the same time. EA confirmed 30 Team 1 cards led by Ousmane Dembélé, Jude Bellingham and Pedri at 91, with Loïs Openda as the first RTTK SBC. Every card is in our RTTK Team 1 article, the launch night is in our release article, and the upgrade rules are in our Road to the Knockouts guide.



With Hall of FUT Unleashed out, the last campaign on EA’s Season 2 roadmap is Black Friday: Thunderstruck, and it looks like it is coming a week earlier than in FC 26. On the evening Hall of FUT went live, FutSheriff said Thunderstruck starts next week and FutPoliceLeaks named Friday 20 November. EA has not confirmed the date, and nobody has leaked a date for Hall of FUT Team 2 yet.
Ultimate Scream has run for two weeks: Team 1 went live on Friday 23 October (Raphinha, Cristiano Ronaldo, Hero Zola) and Team 2 on Friday 30 October (Olise, Hero Ginola, Messi). Every Ultimate Scream item still gets a temporary 99 stat and full in-position chemistry on the 24 November Beaver Moon, as EA confirmed. The leaks were right on both dates, 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.
Road to the Knockouts is a live promo. EA says the cards upgrade when their clubs score, win and finish high in the league phase of the Champions League, Europa League, Conference League and Women’s Champions League, until the league phase ends. So the cards keep changing for weeks after release.
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.
| Season | When | Ultimate Team | Other modes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Season 2 | October to November | Ultimate Scream, UEFA Road to the Knockouts, Hall of FUT Unleashed, Black Friday Thunderstruck | Career: European Competitions and International Break. The Grounds: Screaming Grounds |
| Season 3 | December to January | A new campaign with new historic players (coming soon), Winter Wildcards, Festive Showdowns, Live Events, streamlined SBC updates | Career: Festive Season. The Grounds: Frozen Grounds and Festive Fixtures. FC Update: a brand new commentator |
| Season 4 | January to February | Team of the Year, Custom Gameplay Live Events, End of Match Rewards | Career: visual customisation for youth players. The Grounds: Own the Pitch mode, new archetypes, refreshed Drop Kick targets, new stats profile. FC Update: Create Player Photofit |
| Season 5+ | From March | More to come | Not revealed yet |
Two campaigns are new names. Hall of FUT Unleashed went live on Friday 13 November, 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.
Key FC 27 dates in November
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.
