FIFA 26

Halloween season is coming, and so is one of the most popular promos in EA Sports FC: Ultimate Scream. The event has been around since FIFA 17 and quickly became a fan favorite for its spooky theme, special FC 26 card designs, and big temporary stat boosts. FC 26 keeps the tradition going, with the same dark, fun energy players have come to expect every October.

When It Goes Live
The event started on Friday, October 24, 2025, at 6 PM BST, and it will run for two weeks in total.

• Team One will be in packs from October 24 to October 31.
• Team Two will arrive on October 31 and stay until November 7.

Both teams will be available during the second week, which gives everyone a fair shot at pulling some of the top cards.

What Makes FC 25 FUT Ultimate Scream Special

The idea behind Ultimate Scream is simple but great. Each year, EA releases a set of players with upgraded stats tied to a Halloween theme. These FC 26 Cards glow with eerie designs and turn already good players into powerhouses for a limited time. The event brings back a mix of seasonal and classic favorites that shake up the game's balance for a while.
These FC 26 cards can appear in packs, but EA also adds SBCs and objectives that let players earn some of them through gameplay. It's one of those events where even casual players can feel like they're part of something special without needing to spend a fortune.

Players to Expect

Based on the early information shared by community pages, Team One will be stacked with big FC 26 names and a few nostalgic returns. Some of the expected players include:

• Vini Jr (ST, 90)
• Joshua Kimmich (RB, 89)
• Debinha (RW, 89)
• Javier Mascherano (CDM, 89)
• Antonio Di Natale (LW, 89)
• Sakina Karchaoui (LB, 88)
• Jorge Campos (GK, 88)
• Marek Hamsik (CM, 88)
• Bryan Mbeumo (ST, 87)
• Peter Crouch (CAM, 87)
• Rafael Leão (ST, 86)
• Thomas Muller (ST, 86)

It's a strong mix of flair and nostalgia. Cards like Vini Jr. and Leão are likely to dominate the attack with speed and dribbling, while old-school players like Mascherano and Di Natale bring a different kind of appeal for longtime fans.

How to Get Involved

As always, the best way to prepare for the event is to check your club for fodder before prices jump. SBCs tend to require higher-rated squads, so it helps to save a few 83–85 rated FC 26 cards early. Playing objectives during the event is also worth it, as EA often includes smaller rewards alongside the main ones.

The market usually reacts quickly to events like Ultimate Scream, so staying active in the first few days can make a big difference. Smart trading or early SBC completions can help build your team faster while keeping your coins safe.


Ultimate Scream has always been one of the best promos in the series. It mixes fun design, gameplay variety, and just enough unpredictability to keep things interesting. FC 26 seems ready to deliver another round of flashy cards, crazy stats, and limited-time chaos that always brings the community together.
It's a great time to dive into FC Ultimate Team, as you can collect high-speed strikers while the FC 26 transfer market has been booming for weeks. Halloween football doesn't get much better than this.
