Summary
EA SPORTS FC 26 is entering its final stretch, and Pre-Season Batch 2 is giving Ultimate Team players one more major content drop before FC 27 arrives. The second batch brings a new selection of high-rated FUTTIES cards, returning stars, fresh SBCs, and valuable rewards designed to make the final weeks of FC 26 worthwhile. If you need extra resources for upgrades or SBCs, you can also buy EA FC 26 Coins and strengthen your squad.
Pre-Season Batch 2 Player List
The headline feature is the return of popular FUTTIES Team 3 and Team 4 items to packs. The pool includes Marquinhos, Patri Guijarro, Michael Olise, William Saliba, Nicolò Barella, Mallory Swanson, Loïs Openda, Rayan Cherki, Bryan Mbeumo, Lauren Hemp, Kevin De Bruyne, Harry Kane, Sadio Mané, and Kadidiatou Diani, among many others. Several 95-rated FUTTIES cards are also included, making packs particularly attractive for players still upgrading their squads.
More importantly, Batch 2 continues the endgame theme with several 99-rated players available through SBCs and Objectives. The reported lineup includes Ronaldinho, Sandro Tonali, Mia Hamm, Johan Cruyff, Bruno Guimarães, Zinedine Zidane, Gareth Bale, Andrés Iniesta, Alex Morgan, and Thierry Henry.
New SBCs and Objectives
SBC content remains one of the best ways to finish FC 26 with a stacked squad. Alongside player SBCs, players can expect upgrade-style challenges and repeatable Player Picks that provide additional opportunities to recycle duplicate cards.
The current Pre-Season SBC lineup also includes options such as 96+ FUTTIES Player Picks and 98+ FUTTIES/FOF Player Picks, giving players multiple ways to chase elite endgame cards.
Endgame Rewards and FC 27 Carryover
Pre-Season is not only about FC 26. EA has also introduced rewards that can carry into EA SPORTS FC 27, including packs and Evolution consumables. The Season 10 ladder offers rewards such as an untradeable 82+ x7 Pack, while completing the weekly objectives can provide additional FC 26 Coins, packs, and special players.
The Pre-Season Token Store is another important feature. Players can earn Tokens through Rivals, Squad Battles, Champions, Rush, SBCs, and Season Points, then exchange them for Player Items, Packs, and Evolutions.
Final Verdict
Pre-Season Batch 2 is essentially FC 26's endgame celebration. With FUTTIES re-releases, 99-rated legends, powerful SBCs, and FC 27 carryover rewards, there is still plenty to grind for. For players looking to maximize their final upgrades on a budget, cheap EA FC 26 Coins can also help accelerate squad improvements before FC 27 arrives.
