The Future Stars Academy has arrived in FC 26, offering players the chance to upgrade young talents into FUT legends. However, the process can be confusing. Here is everything you need to know, including the full player list and evolution steps.
To be eligible for the Future Stars Academy, a player must be under 21 (born on or after 30th January 2004) and have a maximum overall rating of 84. Upon launching FUT after the update, players receive a free Future Stars Academy Pack containing eligible players.
The evolution consists of five stages. First, apply the Future Stars Academy Contract Evo to any eligible player. Then, choose a Future Stars Academy Debut positional Evo and complete its requirements to reach 86 OVR. Next, apply PlayStyles and Roles++ Evos as desired. After that, apply the Future Stars Academy First XI Evo to upgrade to 88 OVR. Finally, apply the Future Stars Club Legend Evo to reach a peak of 90 OVR.
These Evos are released across the week, so some may not be available immediately. A second Future Stars Academy Contract Evo will be available from 6 February, allowing players to repeat the process on another player.
