Season 3 of FC 26 delivers the strongest Rivals reward update so far. Every division has been upgraded with higher coin payouts, stronger packs, more tradeable rewards, and better player picks. The biggest improvements appear in the upper divisions, where Elite, Division 1, and Division 2 receive major boosts in 85+ and 86+ content.
The structure of the reward system is the same as before. You unlock Base Rewards at 15 points and Upgrade Rewards at 30 points. The content inside the packs is what makes this season stand out. EA has added more Mega Packs, more TOTW guarantees, and several extra high-rated player bundles across the board.
Below you will find a full breakdown of the Season 3 rewards and a comparison with Season 2 so you can see how big the upgrade really is.

Season 2 vs Season 3: What Has Changed
Season 3 is a clear upgrade over Season 2 in several key areas. The differences focus on stronger pack quality, more consistency in lower divisions, and the biggest improvements ever in the Elite and Division 1 brackets.
Main improvements from Season 2 to Season 3
Higher coin rewards
Upper divisions have received significant buffs.
Elite goes from 30,000 to 45,000 coins in Upgrade Rewards.
Division 1 goes from 20,000 to 40,000 coins.
More high rated packs
Season 3 adds many more 84+, 85+, and 86+ picks, especially in Elite and Division 1.
Elite now contains 6x 85+ untradeable and 4x 85+ tradeable, which did not exist in Season 2.
TOTW upgrades
Elite now features 84+ TOTW instead of the lower ranges seen in Season 2.
Divisions 1 to 3 also keep a guaranteed TOTW item.
More Mega Packs
Season 3 places Mega Packs earlier in the reward ladder.
Divisions 3 to 5 now receive them more consistently.
More tradeable players
Tradeable 84+ and 85+ picks appear in many more divisions, giving the market more liquidity and giving players a chance to profit.
Stronger rewards for mid and lower divisions
Divisions 6 to 9 now receive more consistent 82+ and 83+ rewards.
These divisions were much weaker last season.
Overall Assessment
Season 3 is the best Rivals reward update in FC 26 so far. EA has increased coins, boosted pack quality, added more Mega Packs, and strengthened both untradeable and tradeable rewards in every tier. Elite and Division 1 players receive the biggest upgrade, but the improvements extend through the full ladder so casual and mid tier players also benefit.
If you want, I can also prepare a smaller summary table that lists the exact increases from Season 2 to Season 3 for each division.
