Get free packs and rewards quicker than anyone else
Want to fly through the FC 26 season pass faster than your friends? There are multiple ways to rack up season points (SP) quickly this season, and some of them are easier than ever before. With a few smart tricks and a little bit of grinding, you can earn up to 8,000 season points on day one without spending a fortune.
The Pepsi season points trick
EA and Pepsi are once again collaborating for FC 26, and that partnership can give you an instant boost right at the start of the new season. According to Pepsi, buying a participating Pepsi can earn you 1,000 season points and an 80+ player pick.
You can pick one up at major stores like Tesco. However, you can only redeem this reward once per account, so don’t expect to buy multiple cans and stack 30,000 points. It’s a one-time bonus but a great way to kick off the grind.
Weekly objectives for fast SP gains
The weekly objectives are where you’ll earn the majority of your SP early. Here’s how to maximize them efficiently:
- Play 10 games in Career Mode, Clubs, or Ultimate Team for 150 SP.
- Play 12 more games in the same modes for another 150 SP.
- Score 6, 12, and 18 goals across any of those games to earn up to 450 SP.
You can complete these quickly by playing with a friend or family member offline. One scores, the other quits, and both get progress counted. Combining these gives around 900 SP, and when added to your Pepsi points, you’ll already be close to 2,000.
Daily objectives
Don’t forget your daily objectives. Each day, you can grab 25 SP for playing one game and another 25 SP for scoring two goals in Ultimate Team. These stack up quickly if you log in daily and play a few short matches.
Quick transfer market and squad objectives
You can rack up more SP through simple actions on the transfer market and squad battles:
- List 10 players on the market for 200 SP.
- Buy 10 bronze players and use them in upgrades for 200 SP.
- Play 10 Squad Battles on Semi-Pro or higher for 250 SP.
- Win 5 Squad Battles for 250 SP.
- Score 10 goals with a Brazilian player in any mode for 250 SP.
Altogether, this section gives around 1,500 SP, which pushes your total past 3,000 with minimal effort.
Career Mode grind made faster
Career Mode objectives also pay out large SP bonuses, but they can be time-consuming unless you tweak your settings. In the Match Settings menu, set halves to 3 minutes to drastically speed things up.
Here’s what you get for completing Career Mode goals:
- Play 4 matches on the same save file for 400 SP.
- Play 5 matches total for another 400 SP.
That’s nearly 1,000 SP in about 20 minutes of gameplay, taking your total to roughly 4,700 SP so far.
Manager live and player career objectives
Inside Ultimate Team, check out the Manager Live objectives section. Completing these quick challenges offers another easy set of rewards:
- Complete one objective for 250 SP.
- Complete two for another 250 SP.
- Complete all three for 550 extra SP.
That’s a total of 1,050 SP added to your count.
Then, if you move into Player Career Mode, complete 10 match objectives to unlock 500 SP instantly. You can apply the same short match trick here too, cutting your time commitment in half.
Combined, you’re now past 6,000 SP with plenty still left to earn.
Club Rush and Pro Clubs SP bonuses
Pro Clubs players can also contribute to their SP total. Within Clubs Rush, a few simple challenges give hundreds of additional points:
- Play one Clubs game and score three goals for 200 SP.
- Win 12 Clubs Rush matches for 200 SP.
- Assist 8 goals in Clubs for 200 SP.
- Tackle 10 times in Clubs Rush for 200 SP.
- Score 15 goals in 11v11 matches for 200 SP.
- Make 40 passes in Clubs Rush for 150 SP.
This part alone can push your total by 1,150 SP, pushing you past 7,000 SP if you’ve followed every step so far.
Seasonal packs and store offers
EA sometimes releases 1,500 season point packs in the in-game store. They cost coins but can be worth it if you’re trying to reach certain season pass levels before a promo ends. These packs tend to appear during the week, often around Thursday at 6 p.m.
Combined with the other methods above, it’s possible to hit 8,000 season points on the very first day of a new season. That’s enough to unlock early packs, playstyle bonuses, and sometimes even season-exclusive players.
Final tip: Use the Pepsi method before new seasons
One clever trick is to redeem the Pepsi code just before a new season begins. This way, your 1,000 points roll over to the next season automatically, letting you start ahead of everyone else. It’s a small edge, but in Ultimate Team, every advantage counts.
