What is live now: UEFA Road to the Knockouts
Road to the Knockouts is the Champions League promo. It has cards for the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Conference League and Women's Champions League. According to EA, the cards get upgrades based on their club's goals, wins and final position in the League phase, right up to the last League-phase match. That makes them worth more the longer the competition runs.
Around the promo EA runs a Single Player Live Event with first-to-three matches, a third Ultimate Gauntlet and a themed Rush event. On Monday 9 November new Star Performers items follow.
Before you spend SBC fodder on a Road to the Knockouts card, look at the club's remaining League-phase fixtures. A team with easy games left has a better chance of upgrades.
Recently finished: Ultimate Scream
Ultimate Scream was the Halloween promo and ran for two weeks from 23 October. The Ultimate Scream store stays open for one more week after the promo. From 24 November 2026, all Ultimate Scream cards get a temporary "Full Moon" upgrade for one week: one face stat goes to 99 and the cards get full in-position chemistry.
How the weekly rhythm works
- Friday, 6pm UK time: new promo team or new team of the current promo in packs, new SBCs and objectives.
- During the week: extra SBCs and flash content, usually at 6pm UK as well.
- Seasons last about six weeks and bring a new Season Pass with its own rewards. Season 2 runs until early December.
Tip: prices for normal gold cards often drop for a few hours after a big promo starts, because many packs are opened. If you want to sell, list your players before Friday evening. How to keep your list free: clear your transfer list.
Black Friday and the end of Season 2
Black Friday: Thunderstruck is the last campaign of Season 2 on EA's roadmap. Black Friday itself is on 27 November 2026. In FC 26, the first Black Friday content came one or two days earlier. All details are in our FC 27 Black Friday guide.
The rest of the season (based on previous years)
After TOTY, the second half of the season traditionally brings promos such as Fantasy FC, FUT Birthday (around March), Team of the Season (TOTS, late April to May) and FUTTIES in summer. EA has not published the FC 27 roadmap for this period yet. We will add the dates as soon as they are known.
Between promos, the FUT Gallery rewards you for collecting cards from every campaign. Special promo cards often count for more there.
