FC 26 Pro Live Promo Event
Ahead of the FC Pro Open’s highly anticipated return on November 21, the FC Pro Live campaign is launching its third season. This initiative, which captivated fans last year, once again assigns each participant in the FC Pro Open a unique FC Pro Live item to represent them throughout the competition. With 24 of the world’s best FC players competing for glory, the stage is set for thrilling action.
Each pro player is linked to an FC Pro Live item. As players progress in the tournament—earning points during the group stages and advancing through to the Finals—their corresponding items will receive exciting in-game upgrades. Fans can also reap rewards by tuning in weekly. Unique Viewership Rewards for EA SPORTS FC 26 Ultimate Team clubs will be available, adding an extra incentive to follow the action closely. Beyond the matches, the FC Pro Live campaign introduces daily content in Ultimate Team, including Player Squad Building Challenges, objectives focused on Team Champions, Evolutions, and more.
FC Pro Live items are upgraded based on the performances of their linked pros. Players earn upgrades by accumulating points during the group stages, advancing through the competition, or winning the tournament outright. The FC Pro Open begins with group stages, where 24 players are divided into four groups of six. Matches are spread across eight weeks, with the top 12 advancing to the Finals on January 26, 2025. Each match is a crucial opportunity for linked items to earn upgrades.
Upgrade Path
Upgrades for FC Pro Live Player Items are triggered by tournament results—pros earn specific boosts such as extra Skill Moves, Weak Foot, or Overall Rating based on their point milestones and progression through the FC Pro Open, with knockout qualification offering additional PlayStyles+ options chosen by the linked pro; PlayStyles+ upgrades are applied after all group matches conclude, and reaching the Top 4 or winning grants further positional and overall improvements, allowing for highly dynamic cards.
During the FC Pro Live campaign, three timed events launch, including a themed two-stage tournament with knockout rounds and a finals stage, rewarding players for victories and participation across Objectives, while fresh Player SBCs and Evolutions provide more opportunities to strengthen your club, with options like End of an Era, Flashbacks, Showdowns, historic esports moments, and five themed Evolutions—alongside four unlockable Evolution Consumables available from live events throughout the promo.
