THE CLUB IS YOURS

Play EA SPORTS FC™ 26 now, with an overhauled gameplay experience powered by community feedback, Manager Live Challenges that bring fresh scenarios to the new season, and Archetypes inspired by greats of the game.

Play Now

The Player Ratings table reflects the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Player Items available in Ultimate Team ’26 at launch. It does not reflect other types of Player Items (e.g. Heroes, Icons, or Campaign Player Items), including those added after release, nor will it reflect live form updates available in other modes. Sorting by Rank arranges items first by their Overall rating, with further ordering established by subjective factors based on the athletes’ real-life performance (not item attributes).
