EA FC 26 TOTY Crafting Upgrade SBC Fuels Ultimate Team Pack Grinding A repeatable Squad Building Challenge makes it easier than ever to stack packs during Team of the Year

🏆 What Is the TOTY Crafting Upgrade SBC?

EA Sports has introduced the TOTY Crafting Upgrade SBC in EA FC 26, offering Ultimate Team players a new way to grind packs as Team of the Year winds down.

This Squad Building Challenge is designed to be highly accessible, requiring only:

  • Seven Gold players
  • At least two Rare Gold cards

Because of the low entry requirements, this SBC is ideal for players looking to make use of untradeable gold cards that may otherwise sit unused in their club.


📦 Repeatable SBC Means More Pack Opportunities

One of the biggest advantages of the TOTY Crafting Upgrade SBC is that it can be completed an unlimited number of times.

Each completion rewards:

  • A 3x 79+ Rare Gold Players Pack

These packs can be:

  • Saved for larger pack openings
  • Opened immediately to hunt for Team of the Year players
  • Recycled into other SBCs for additional value

This repeatable structure makes it easier to turn lower-rated fodder into higher-rated players that can help with future challenges.


🎯 Milestone Objectives Add Extra Value

Beyond the base pack reward, the TOTY Crafting Upgrade SBC is connected to a broader set of milestone objectives.

By completing the SBC multiple times, players can unlock:

  • 83+ rated player packs
  • 84+ rated player packs
  • 87+ rated player packs

These milestone rewards significantly increase the overall value of the grind and give players more chances to pack high-rated cards or land a special Team of the Year item.


🔥 Why This SBC Is a Must-Do During TOTY

With Team of the Year nearing its conclusion, this SBC has quickly become part of many players’ daily routines.

It stands out because it:

  • Maximizes the value of untradeable gold cards
  • Provides steady access to upgrade packs
  • Supports long-term grinding through milestone rewards
  • Increases chances of packing high-rated fodder or TOTY players

Whether you’re chasing a blue card or preparing your club for upcoming promos, this SBC offers one of the most efficient pack-grinding methods currently available.


đź§  Final Thoughts

The TOTY Crafting Upgrade SBC in EA FC 26 delivers exactly what Ultimate Team grinders look for: low requirements, repeatable completions, and strong milestone rewards. It’s a smart way to stretch your club resources while staying active in one of the biggest promos of the year.
