OVERHAULED GAMEPLAY, POWERED BY COMMUNITY FEEDBACK

Play your way in EA SPORTS FC™ 26 with more responsive dribbling, smarter AI positioning, and sharper, more explosive movement — all based on community feedback. Goalkeepers now react more naturally with improved positioning, animations are more lifelike, and new Playstyles and Player Roles give you more ways to shape how your team plays.

PLAY YOUR WAY WITH TWO DISTINCT GAMEPLAY PRESETS

FC 26 introduces two new gameplay presets, each built for a different way to play. Competitive is tuned for head-to-head action in Ultimate Team and Clubs, with faster passing, smarter keeper rebounds, and more direct control, while Authentic brings a true-to-football feel to modes like Career, featuring more positionally-responsible defenders, realistic corner success rates, lifelike goalmouth scrambles, and more.

TEAM UP ALL SEASON LONG IN CLUBS

Team up with big additions to Clubs in EA SPORTS FC™ 26. Experience more variety throughout the season when playing solo or with Clubmates in dynamic Live Events, featuring new challenges with varying entry requirements, modified Rush gameplay, and alternate rules, creating fresh opportunities to earn rewards all year round. Plus, for the first time ever, EA SPORTS FC™ 26 allows you to affiliate with up to 3 clubs at a time and become the last line of defence in Clubs Rush with the introduction of a revamped Be-A-Goalkeeper system.

TAKE ON NEW CHALLENGES IN MANAGER AND PLAYER CAREER

Experience Manager Career like never before with all-new Manager Live Challenges throughout the new season. Take on a variety of real-world scenarios and alternative storylines—ranging from a few minutes of play to multiple seasons—and earn rewards including Season Points, Vanity, and ICONs and Heroes to use in modern-day clubs. Additionally, for the first time ever, movement in the Manager Market sees team tactics transform over time as new managers take the helm, changing the dynamics of every new season.
