If there were a list of fan-favorite promos and events in EA Sports FC, ICON Swaps would sit right at the very top — and it’s finally back in EA FC 26. Even better, this year’s rewards are some of the strongest we’ve seen in a long time.
From elite ICONs like Ronaldo, Cantona, Rio Ferdinand, to repeatable high-rated packs and powerful Evolutions, ICON Swaps offers huge value. But there’s a catch: if you want the best rewards, you’ll need to grind for ICON Swaps Tokens.
Tokens are the currency used to unlock rewards during ICON Swaps, and they aren’t handed out for free. You’ll need to complete a wide range of Objectives across Live Friendlies, Squad Battles, and Champions. The more Tokens you earn, the better the rewards you can unlock.
Below is everything you need to know about FC 26 ICON Swaps, including all rewards and how to earn every available Token.
