The Season Pass in EA Sports FC 26 is a tiered rewards system that unlocks cosmetic items, packs, player items, and other perks as you earn Season Points (SP). There are two versions: a free Standard Pass everyone has access to, and a Premium Pass that grants extra rewards for a fee.
How It Works
- Tiers and Levels: As you earn SP, you progress through levels in the Season Pass, each level unlocking rewards.
- Standard vs Premium Pass: Free track gives certain rewards; the Premium version unlocks additional bonuses and exclusive items.
- Pricing: The Premium Pass costs about 500,000 FC Coins or 1,000 FC Points. Some editions (e.g. Ultimate Edition) include Premium Pass as a perk.
- Season Duration: Each Season Pass lasts for a fixed period (typically several weeks), and resets with the next season.
What Rewards You Can Expect
- Player items – world tour players, foundation cards, special player picks exclusive to certain levels.
- Packs – Rare Gold, Mega Packs, and higher OVR packs tied to specific levels.
- Cosmetics – kits, stadium items, TIFOs, badges, and customization rewards.
- Coins or FC Points – sometimes included in the reward tracks.
Premium Pass Perks & Value
Premium Pass offers more rewards for the same SP levels, so once you hit a level you get both the Standard and Premium rewards. Some high-profile players are only unlockable via Premium. If you play frequently across modes and complete objectives, the Premium track tends to give much more value.
Tips to Maximize Your Season Pass
- Start early: Begin progressing as soon as the season launches so you don’t fall behind on levels.
- Complete daily & weekly objectives: These often offer reliable SP and help you climb levels steadily.
- Participate in Live Events and Campaigns: Events tied to the Season Pass, like World Tour and Cornerstones, can offer big rewards.
- Check reward previews: Look at each level’s reward before committing. Premium items may be especially worthwhile for certain levels if you need specific player cards.
FAQ
What if I buy the Premium Pass later in the season?
If you purchase the Premium Pass after you have already earned SP levels, you still receive the Premium rewards for all levels you have already reached.
Will rewards carry over to next season?
No. Rewards reset each season, so you need to progress each new season to unlock that season’s rewards.
Do I need to pay to get good rewards?
No. The free Standard Pass still offers meaningful rewards; the Premium Pass just adds bonus items and some exclusive players. It is only worth it if you frequently play and want the extra rewards.
Are all rewards untradeable?
Most rewards are untradeable, especially player packs and cosmetic items from the Season Pass. Always check the tier info for tradeability.
