Summary
Why wait until EA SPORTS FC 27 launches when you can already earn free rewards in FC 26? With the new Pre-Season underway, players can complete specific objectives in FC 26 and secure packs, Coins, a Player Pick, and an Evolution reward for the next Ultimate Team cycle. Players can also buy EA FC 26 Coins to prepare for the final push. FC 27 launches worldwide on September 25, 2026, making these final weeks of FC 26 especially valuable.
Complete Season 10's Standard Ladder
The easiest place to start is World Tour Season 10: Pre-Season. Players who complete the Standard Ladder through Level 30 can unlock two FC 27 carry-over rewards: an untradeable 82+ x7 Player Pack and a Quick Step PlayStyle Evolution Consumable, with the Evolution capped at 83 OVR. EA says these rewards are scheduled to be delivered by October 9, 2026.
The Standard Ladder is available without requiring the Premium Pass, so free-to-play players can work toward these rewards simply by progressing through Season 10. Players can also use cheap EAFC 26 Coins for final squad upgrades.
Finish Every Pre-Season Completionist Week
The next step is completing the four Pre-Season Completionist groups. Each weekly group provides an untradeable 81+ x3 Player Pack and 10,000 FC 27 Coins.
The four weeks unlock progressively, with Week 4 becoming available on September 3. Completing all four therefore gives players:
Four 81+ x3 Player Packs
40,000 FC 27 Coins
There is also a full Completionist reward consisting of an 83+ Tradeable Player Pick and another 20,000 Coins. That brings the total reported Pre-Season Coin reward to 60,000.
Don't Miss the World's Game Rewards
Players should also check whether they completed the earlier World's Game requirements. EA's official guidance states that players can qualify for additional FC 27 rewards by playing one group-stage match in The World's Game and completing all regions in Journey of Nations in Ultimate Team.
How to Claim Your Rewards
The most important rule is to use the same EA Account in FC 26 and FC 27. Carry-over rewards are delivered after FC 27 launches, rather than appearing immediately in FC 26. EA has stated that players must log into FC 27 Ultimate Team within the required redemption window to receive them.
Final Tips
Don't leave the Pre-Season objectives until the last minute. Complete the Season 10 ladder, finish every available Completionist group, and check your World's Game progress. By doing so, you can enter FC 27 with a useful collection of free packs, FC 27 Coins, a tradeable Player Pick, and an Evolution reward already waiting.
