EA SPORTS FC 26 - Standard Edition

The Club is Yours in EA SPORTS FC™ 26. Play your way with an overhauled gameplay experience powered by community feedback, Manager Live Challenges that bring fresh storylines to the new season, and Archetypes inspired by greats of the game.

Play your way in EA SPORTS FC™ 26 with more responsive dribbling, smarter AI positioning, and sharper, more explosive movement — all based on community feedback. Goalkeepers now react more naturally with improved positioning, animations are more lifelike, and new Playstyles and Player Roles give you more ways to shape how your team plays.

FC 26 introduces two new gameplay presets, each built for a different way to play. Competitive is tuned for head-to-head action in Ultimate Team and Clubs, with faster passing, smarter keeper rebounds, and more direct control, while Authentic brings a true-to-football feel to modes like Career, featuring more positionally-responsible defenders, realistic corner success rates, lifelike goalmouth scrambles, and more.

Brand-new Archetypes, inspired by greats of the game, introduce new classes to Clubs and Player Career to bring more individuality to your player customisation and progression. Select a base Archetype and develop your abilities throughout the season by earning Archetype XP, upgrading attributes, and unlocking Archetype Perks for a truly distinct feel on the pitch.

Compete in new ways across Football Ultimate Team™ with Tournaments and Live Events, as well as a refreshed Rivals and Champs experience. Tournaments will test your skills with up to four rounds of knockout football, while Live Events add more variety with themed competitions and content all season long. New Bounties allow you to earn additional rewards or accelerate your weekly progress. Additionally, EA SPORTS FC™ 26 launches Challengers - a new second-tier weekend competition designed for players in lower Divisions.

Experience Manager Career like never before with all-new Manager Live Challenges throughout the new season. Take on a variety of real-world scenarios and alternative storylines—ranging from a few minutes of play to multiple seasons—and earn rewards including Season Points, Vanity, and ICONs and Heroes to use in modern-day clubs. Additionally, for the first time ever, movement in the Manager Market sees team tactics transform over time as new managers take the helm, changing the dynamics of every new season.
