- The EA FC 26 Ultimate Scream promo will kick off on Friday at 1 PM ET (6 PM BST/10 AM PT).
- It will see the release of special cards, all of which will have unique upgrades tied to Full Moon phases.
- The event will likely feature two squad releases.
Spooky season has finally returned to EA FC 26 with the fan-favorite Ultimate Scream promo. Once a staple in the Ultimate Team promo calendar, the devs strangely shied away from introducing the campaign for multiple years. Following intense demands from fans, the devs had no choice but to bring it back, meaning we’re in for wacky card designs and must-complete SBCs. With this in mind, here’s everything you need to know about EA FC 26 Ultimate Scream.
EA FC 26 Ultimate Scream Promo Release Date
The FC 26 Ultimate Scream promo will be released on Friday, October 24 at 1 PM ET (6 PM BST/10 AM PT). Its release date was confirmed by EA, and we’re likely to see a second squad release as well. The subsequent Friday (October 31) will be the day of Halloween, so not releasing another batch of promo cards would be like missing an open goal. Nevertheless, it is all but confirmed to take up two weeks on the EA FC 26 promo calendar.
EA FC 26 Ultimate Scream Promo Explained
Just like the name suggests, Ultimate Scream is FUT’s Halloween event. Traditionally, the event has seen the release of a spooky batch of cards, complemented by unique player dynamics. Every promo card will have boosted stats and ratings, of course, including some Player Roles+ and PlayStyle+ attributes.
What’s more important are the Full Moon upgrades, which, according to the in-game loading screen are scheduled for November 5 and December 4. On these dates, your Ultimate Scream player will temporarily receive a 99-rated Face stat (Pace, Shoot, Pass, etc), which will last for seven days. The first Full Moon will grant the card a Role+ in every position, while the second will bump them up to a Role++ in every position. Keep in mind that all of these upgrades will only last for a week.
