SHINE BRIGHT IN EUROPEAN NIGHTS
UEFA Primetime brings blockbuster action to Football Ultimate Team™ as clubs call upon their very best in the fight for knockout qualification across the UEFA Champions, Europa, and Conference Leagues.
Head into Football Ultimate Team™ to see the latest UEFA Primetime content including dynamic Heroes, new SBCs, and themed Live Events recreating the real-world drama across Europe’s top club competitions.
NEW UEFA PRIMETIME HEROES
UEFA Primetime introduces three new Heroes to Football Ultimate Team™, debuting campaign Heroes in FC 26. Celebrate some of the greatest performers in European competition history with dynamic Hero Items that upgrade alongside the performances of their given teams.
Daniele De Rossi:
The mighty metodista, De Rossi became the definition of an Italian midfield colossus at boyhood club, Roma. Racking up hundreds of appearances for the Giallorossi, he achieved legendary status for both club and country, ending a two-decade-long senior career with over 100 caps for the Azzurri and bringing the biggest international honours back to Italy.

Míchel Salgado:
Il Due. From Celta Vigo stalwart to a full decade of service at Real Madrid, and beyond, the Spanish full back became a nightmare for opposition wingers, aggressive and effective in equal measure. These traits would lead him to countless trophies, including four league titles and a UEFA Champions League double.

Simone Laudehr:
The Bavarian powerhouse. Laudehr earned more than a century of caps for the German national team, picking up Olympic bronze and lifting the UEFA Women’s Euro trophy in 2009. A key figure at Duisburg and Frankfurt, Laudehr collected domestic and European honours before sealing her club legacy by clinching the Frauen-Bundesliga title on the final day with FC Bayern.
