Before pre-ordering EA FC 26, it’s essential to know all of the bonuses and what comes with each edition.
Every year, players ask themselves why they should purchase another EA FC title. EA Sports incentivizes players to purchase FC 26 by making several community-requested changes. Most notably, gameplay speed will be faster, dribbling will be more fluid, and goalkeeping was overhauled.
If that’s enough to pique your interest, let’s take a look at the pre-order bonuses and editions.
EA FC 26 Pre-Order Bonuses
Here are all the pre-order bonuses for the Standard Edition of EA FC 26. The Ultimate Edition includes all of the rewards listed below, along with seven days of early access and 6000 FC Points.
Clubs Rewards
- Archetype Unlock Consumable.
- 2 Double AXP for 10 Matches Consumables.
Career Rewards
- 3 ICON Career Players.
- 5-Star Coach available for hire in a Manager Career.

If you pre-order the Ultimate edition of EA FC 26 before August 26, you receive an exclusive EVO that boosts any player’s shooting attributes to 99 in EA FC 25, and a 1 of 5 Player Pick 93+ OVR ICON Player Item (untradeable) for EA 25.
And exclusive to the Standard Edition, if you pre-order, you will get a 92+ overall ICON for EA FC 25.
For FC 26, you receive an ICON pack at launch, which contains one of 15 players. EA did not reveal which ICONS will be included in the pack. However, EA did confirm that it will become an upgraded version at a later date to recognize the moment they become a Champion.
That being said, there is a good chance that they will come from the list of new ICONs that leaked early, one of which is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is the cover athlete for the Ultimate Edition.
