FC 26 Winter Wildcards
Winter Wildcards offers a variety of upgrades for every playstyle, from 5-Star Skill boosts inspired by Joga Bonito to radical position changes reminiscent of Ultimate Scream. The campaign also introduces a major overhaul to Evolutions, releasing 16 new paths over two weeks, plus four special cosmetic options to give your squad a frosty new look. To top it off, the Evolution system itself gets a holiday upgrade: the active limit has been increased by one, allowing all players to run two simultaneous Evolutions, while Ultimate Edition owners can manage three at once.
A ‘Best Of’ collection featuring 60 standout players from six fan-favorite campaigns will return to packs from December 18 to January 1. This re-release batch also includes five Star Performers, who will be available in packs throughout the Winter Wildcards event.
Get ready for the seventh edition of the Ultimate Gauntlet! Test your club’s depth across multiple rounds—the further you go, the better the rewards, including a Winter Wildcards Marcos Llorente. You can also jump into the Winter Wildcards Tournaments to earn packs and player items. Winning a tournament secures your spot in next week’s Winter Wildcards Finale.
