Short answer: Your FC 25 Pre-Season carryover rewards become claimable in FC 26 on October 14, 2025. EA also notes you must log in with the same EA Account and the same platform family you used to earn them, and that it can take a little time for everything to appear.
What you will need to do
- On or after October 14, open FC 26 Ultimate Team.
- Use the same EA Account and same platform family as in FC 25. Example: PlayStation to PlayStation.
- If you do not see your packs right away, give it some time and try relaunching the game. EA says the rollout may take a while before every account shows all items.
Why they arrive in mid-October
Pre-Season rewards can be quite strong, for example bundles like 84×5, 82×5, 81×7, and 80×10 player packs that many players earned through FC 25’s Pre-Season objectives. Dropping these a couple of weeks after launch keeps day-one squads from spiking too quickly while still rewarding the players who completed the grind.
Which FC 25 tasks granted rewards for FC 26
If you finished any of the below in FC 25, expect corresponding packs to show up in FC 26 from October 14:
- Season Pass to Level 40 → 84×5 pack
- Pre-Season Crafting upgrades → 82×5 pack
- Road to FC 26 Evolution → 81×7 pack
- Other ladder and “Club is Yours” milestones → additional packs
Specific examples and ladders were documented by community guides during FC 25’s final season.
FAQ on Pre Season rewards in FC 26:
What time on October 14 will they drop?
EA gives a start date rather than a precise hour, and says items may take time to populate. Expect a rolling rollout during the day.
I switched from PlayStation to PC. Will I still get them?
Only if you claim on the same platform family you used to earn them in FC 25. If you changed platform families, those rewards will not transfer.
Where will the packs appear?
Once granted, they will be in your FC 26 Ultimate Team account after login. If nothing shows, wait a bit, then relaunch the game and check again.
