FAQ
How do I unlock new celebrations in EA Sports FC 26?
You can unlock additional celebrations by progressing through Career Mode, completing Ultimate Team objectives, or reaching specific milestones in Clubs and Volta. Some special animations — like “High Kick” or “Dance 3” — are Pro Unlockables, available only after achieving certain in-game ranks or completing challenges.
Why can’t I trigger mascot celebrations every time?
Mascot celebrations only appear in supported stadiums and depend on mascot spawn locations, which change from match to match. Make sure you’re playing as one of the supported clubs (like PSG, Bayern Munich, or Manchester City) and sprint toward the mascot right after scoring to trigger the animation.
Are there differences in celebrations between PlayStation, Xbox, and PC?
Yes. The button inputs differ slightly between platforms — for example, X on PlayStation corresponds to A on Xbox. PC players have the advantage of customizing their key bindings, allowing for easier access to complex or favorite celebrations during gameplay.
