Some promos are basically guaranteed every year. TOTY, TOTS, and FUTTIES are the big ones that define each phase of the game cycle. TOTY in January gives you the absolute best cards from the previous year. TOTS in April celebrates the season’s top performers. FUTTIES in July is all about community favorites and awesome boosted cards.
And you must absolutely know already that 2026 is a World Cup year. EA might work out a deal to bring official World Cup content to Ultimate Team. Even if they can’t get the official license, expect some kind of World Cup-themed event around June.

When Do New EA FC Promos Drop?
The schedule above shows when each promo is expected to start based on previous years. But mostly, new promos drop every Friday at 1 PM ET in the game. This is when EA typically drops new content every week. Most promos in past EA FC games have run for multiple weeks, but we don’t know yet exactly how EA will structure the releases for EA FC 26. What we do know is that Friday is traditionally EA’s content drop day, so it’s always worth checking out what’s new.
The mix of guaranteed favorites and potential World Cup content should make this upcoming game extra special. Just remember to pace yourself and enjoy the journey!
