CURRENT PROMOTION IN FC 26 ULTIMATE TEAM

This week marks the start of one of the first major promotions in FC 26 – Road to the Knockouts (RTTK).

This promotion focuses on players participating in European cups such as the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League. RTTK cards can receive upgrades depending on their teams' results in real matches – for example, for wins or promotions.

The promotion started today, September 19, 2025, and will run for the next few days, with packs available in the store and rewards in modes such as Division Rivals and Squad Battles. This is the perfect opportunity to acquire dynamic cards that can increase in value.

These cards are essential for the early meta, especially Haaland, Kane, and Llorente with their high overall ratings and stats.

CURRENT SQUAD BUILDING CHALLENGES (SBC) IN FC 26

SBCs are the key to cheap squad upgrades, and this week we have some interesting options to start the season. Here are the current challenges:

Marquee Matchups: These require squads from specific leagues and nations, rewarding you with premium packs. The cheapest solutions are around 4k FC 26 Coins per task.
England '66 (Golden Generation): Requires squads with English players. The total cost is around 14k FC 26 Coins.
Foundations - Intro to SBCs: Simple tasks, e.g., swapping low OVR players for silver or gold packs. Perfect for getting started without high costs.
