Excitement is reaching fever pitch within the EA Sports FC 26 community as the Ultimate Team mode prepares to welcome a brand-new weekly promotion with a distinct European flavour. The spine-chilling Ultimate Scream event has concluded, making way for the highly anticipated UEFA Primetime promo, set to kick off this Friday.
When to Tune In: UEFA Primetime Release Schedule
Mark your calendars and set your alarms, as the new content is scheduled to go live on Friday, November 7. For players in the United Kingdom, the expected release time is 6 PM GMT. This event takes over from the recently concluded Ultimate Scream promotion.
While EA Sports has not officially confirmed the duration, based on the pattern of previous yearly events, it is highly probable that UEFA Primetime will be a week-long affair, giving players ample time to engage with all the fresh content.
What is the UEFA Primetime Promotion?
UEFA Primetime is the spiritual successor to the familiar Road to the Knockouts event, shifting the spotlight firmly onto Europe's elite club competitions. The promo will feature special player items inspired by performances in the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League.
According to prominent leakers within the community, such as FUT Sheriff, the promotion will include a squad of players from both men's and women's football. Each card will receive a significant stat upgrade reflecting their recent exploits on the European stage.
Further leaks from FifaTradingRomania suggest a substantial content drop, including 60 new player cards added to packs. The event is also tipped to introduce special Moments items that commemorate specific standout performances in the Champions League. As with any major promo, players can expect a suite of new Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), Objectives, and Evolutions to complete.
Leaked Player Squad and New Heroes
Adding to the anticipation, EA Sports teased the arrival of a brand new trio of FC26 Heroes on social media, challenging the community to identify 'The Rider', 'Il Condottiero', and 'The Rocker Mystique'.
Although the official squad list remains under wraps, trusted leakers FUT Sheriff and Criminal have circulated a probable lineup. The leaked players rumoured to receive UEFA Primetime cards include:
- Erling Haaland (Manchester City) - 92 Rated ST
- Caroline Graham Hansen (Barcelona) - 91 Rated RW
- Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) - 90 Rated RW
- Eden Hazard (Hero) - 89 Rated LM
- William Saliba (Arsenal) - 88 Rated CB
- Cody Gakpo (Liverpool) - 87 Rated LW
- Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United) - 86 Rated LW
It is crucial to note that this list is based on unconfirmed leaks and should be treated as speculation until EA Sports makes an official announcement. The full reveal is expected imminently as the 6 PM GMT release time approaches.
