If you love soccer and video games, you're going to want to
listen up because EA Sports FC-26 is launched and there's so
much cool stuff happening right now.
So what exactly is EA Sports FC-26?

(00:51):
Well, it's a brand new soccer video game that came out on
September 25th, 2025. This game lets you play soccer
in tons of different ways. You can manage your own team,
play in tournaments, or even create your own player and watch
them grow and improve. The game has over 20,000 real
players from the world's top soccer leagues, which means you

(01:12):
can play with and against your favorite soccer stars from
around the globe. One of the biggest things about
EA Sports FC 26 is that the people who made it listen to
what players like you wanted. They completely redesigned how
the game plays based on feedbackfrom the community.
There are two different ways to play now.
If you want the most realistic soccer experience possible,

(01:33):
there's something called Authentic Gameplay that makes
the game feel just like real soccer.
But if you like a faster, more competitive style of play,
there's competitive gameplay that's perfect for that too.
Now let's talk about what's beenhappening recently with the
game. Just a few days ago, on November
26th, a big update called the Holiday Update came out.

(01:53):
This update is version one point3.0 and it's available on every
platform you can think of. PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4,
Xbox Series X&S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and regular
Nintendo Switch. The developers added so many new
things to make the game even more fun.

(02:14):
First, there are new gameplay changes.
They made goalkeeper movement work differently, They tweaked
how the computer controls your defending players, and they made
some improvements for people playing on PC.
They also added some cool new items you can use in the game.
There are new soccer balls, including one called the FA Cup
Ultimax Pro Football. There are also new soccer boots

(02:35):
from famous brands like Adidas, Nike, and Puma.
If you like to customize how your team looks, there are new
uniforms and kits from soccer leagues around the world,
including updates for the Saudi Pro League.
They even added new stadiums that are actually used in real
life, like Alol Park. One really neat feature is that
players can now have signature goal celebrations.

(02:57):
That means when your player scores, they can do special
celebrations just like real soccer players do.
Some of the celebrations are from famous players like Victor,
Yokreis and Laminumal. The update also fixed a bunch of
problems that players were having with the game, like
issues with tucked in shirts, problems with goal replays, and
other little bugs that were annoying people.

(03:18):
The update also added real facesfor some players who didn't have
them before. When you're playing the game,
you want to see what the real players actually look like.
Well, now players like Hugo Ecotype, Aiden Heaven and
Rodrigo Gomez have their real faces in the game instead of
just generic faces. Plus, lots of players from the
Premier League, La Liga, Serie, and Bundesliga got new face

(03:42):
scans, so they look even more like themselves.
But wait, there's more exciting stuff happening right now.
Black Friday is coming up, and EA Sports has a special event
called Black Friday Thunderstruck.
This event started on November 26th, and it's bringing special
player cards into the game. These aren't just regular cards,

(04:02):
they're dynamic cards that actually get better based on how
the real players perform in actual soccer matches.
So if a player scores a goal or has an amazing game in real
life, their card in the video game gets an upgrade.
How cool is that? The main Thunderstruck cards and
special legendary player cards called Icons are coming on
Friday, November 28th. More cards will be released

(04:25):
later that day and again on November 30th.
There are also special Flash events happening during Black
Friday where you can compete in quick matches and earn rewards.
These events start on November 27th and new ones appear every
48 hours. Each event has different rules
and requirements so you have to build different teams to compete

(04:45):
in each one. Another exciting thing is that
something called FC Pro Live just started on November 21st.
This combines the regular game with professional E sports
competitions. There are 24 professional E
sports players who qualified fora tournament, and special player
cards in the game are linked to how these real pros perform in
their matches. If you get one of these special

(05:06):
player cards, it will upgrade based on what happens in the
real E sports tournament. This runs all the way through
February, so there's a long timeto collect these special cards.
There are new challenges, special tournaments, and
different ways to build your team through something called
Squad Building Challenges and Evolutions.
Speaking of new features, Season3 of the game started on

for early December that will bring more holiday fun to the

This is a way to play where you become the manager of a soccer
team and make all the decisions.You get to deal with real world
scenarios and even alternative storylines.
Some challenges take just a few minutes, while others can span
multiple seasons. It's like being the boss of your
own team. There's also a player career
mode where you create your own player and develop them over

(06:11):
time. The game has something called
archetypes, which are different playing styles inspired by
famous soccer players. You can choose an archetype for
your player and then upgrade their abilities and unlock
special perks that make them play in a unique way.
Maybe you want a player to be super fast, or maybe you want
them to be really good at heading the ball.
You get to decide in Football Ultimate Team which is the most

(06:33):
popular way to play. There are new tournament modes
and live events happening all the time.

competing against other players around the world.
