FC 26 Season 2 Countdown: Release Date, Season Pass Details, and What to Expect Season 2 is nearly here in EA Sports FC 26 Ultimate Team, bringing new rewards, objectives, and updates for players to grind
The first season of EA Sports FC 26 Ultimate Team is coming to a close, and the next wave of content is just around the corner.
Players have a little over two and a half days left to finish up Season 1 objectives before everything resets. Once the clock hits zero, Season 2 will officially begin on Thursday, October 30, launching simultaneously across all platforms.
This means a brand-new Season Pass, a fresh set of objectives, and another opportunity to earn exclusive rewards are all on the way.
🎁 What to Expect in the Season 2 Pass
While EA hasn’t revealed the full list of rewards yet, the structure should look familiar to Ultimate Team veterans. Season 2 will once again feature:
- A Free Pass, offering standard rewards for all players.
- A Paid Pass, including premium items like high-tier cards, packs, and XP boosts.
EA typically refreshes the themes and cosmetics each season, so players can expect new designs and possibly themed player items tied to upcoming in-game events.
Even without leaks so far, fans are expecting a major refresh to objectives and milestones, helping grind sessions feel fresh throughout the season.
⚽ Improved Rivals and Gameplay Rewards
One of the most anticipated changes heading into Season 2 is upgraded Rivals rewards.
EA has confirmed adjustments are being made to make Rivals and Division rewards more meaningful, giving players better value for their time — something the community has been asking for since launch.
With a new season also comes an opportunity to reset progression, so it’s the perfect time for both new and returning players to jump back in and start climbing the leaderboards.
🔓 Grinding the Season Pass
To make progress through the Season 2 pass, players will need to complete objectives and earn XP by playing matches across different Ultimate Team modes — including Rivals, Squad Battles, and Champions.
Each level in the pass unlocks unique rewards, ranging from packs and consumables to special player items. As always, daily and weekly objectives will play a huge role in how fast you climb through the tiers.
🏁 Final Thoughts
FC 26 Season 2 arrives on October 30, bringing a clean slate for Ultimate Team players and a fresh set of rewards to chase.
With rumored improvements to Rivals, a revamped Season Pass, and new items waiting to be discovered, this update is shaping up to keep the grind exciting heading into the next phase of the season.
Be sure to wrap up your Season 1 challenges before time runs out — and get ready to start the grind all over again.
