- The EA FC 26 UEFA Primetime promo will be released on November 7 at 1 PM ET (6 PM BST/10 AM PT).
- The event shares a ton of similarities with RTTK, including a live upgrades path.
- Three new Heroes will make their EA FC debuts alongside the promo.
UEFA Primetime is confirmed to be the next promo arriving in EA FC 26 Ultimate Team. If the campaign’s theme sounds familiar, it’s because Primetime is essentially a reskinned RTTK (Road to the Knockouts), which has consistently appeared in FUT for the past decade. Its absence at the start of the season had players worried that EA was planning on skipping the event, but we can rest assured that the devs have opted for a simple rebrand instead.
With all that said, here’s everything you need to know about the UEFA Primetime promo, instead its leaked upgrade path, confirmed players, and much more.
EA FC 26 UEFA Primetime Promo Start Date
The EA FC 26 UEFA Primetime promo will kick off on Friday, November 7, at 1 PM ET (6 PM BST/10 AM PT). It will follow up the FC 26 Ultimate Scream event, which saw the release of two teams and ran for a couple of weeks.
EA FC 26 UEFA Primetime Promo Explained
As mentioned at the start, the EA FC 26 UEFA Primetime promo is quite similar to RTTK. The campaign focuses on players and clubs in the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League competitions. A select batch of players are handed special cards, which are then eligible for live upgrades depending on how their associated clubs perform in real life.
On meeting the requirements, these cards receive upgrades to their base ratings and even additional PlayStyles. Additionally, EA has already confirmed that new Heroes will be a part of the Primetime event.
FC 26 UEFA Primetime Upgrades Explained
According to leaks from reliable sources, Primetime cards will receive upgrades if their clubs score a certain number of goals/assists, reach a specific points tally, or qualify in the Top 8 on the UCL table. The exact upgrade path is yet to be confirmed, but the boosts will likely include base OVR increases, additional Player Roles and PlayStyles, as well as PlayStyle+ bonuses.
