EA Sports FC 26 is set to launch its latest Ultimate Team promo, Glory Hunters, on Friday, June 26 at 6pm BST (10am PDT, 1pm EDT). The two-week event will replace the Greats of the Game promo and run until July 10, coinciding with the World Cup 2026 quarter-finals in North America.
What Is Glory Hunters?
According to EA Sports, Glory Hunters brings PlayStyle customisation to selected Player Items, giving players more control over squad building. The promo features two teams: Team 1 arrives on June 26, and Team 2 swaps in on July 3.
Confirmed Players and Leaks
EA Sports has confirmed four players for Glory Hunters, all expected to have 97 overall ratings: Neymar Jr (CAM, Brazil), Lionel Messi (ST, Argentina), Virgil van Dijk (CB, Netherlands), and Ousmane Dembele (RW, France). Prominent leaker AsyFutTrader (@AsyFutTrader on X) has shared what they claim are official stats for Team 1, which includes 40 player items. Among the top-rated leaked cards are Tijjani Reijnders (CM, Netherlands) at 97 OVR, Bruno Fernandes (CAM, Portugal) at 97 OVR, Kieran Tierney (RB, Scotland) at 96 OVR, N'Golo Kante (CDM, France) at 96 OVR, Noah Okafor (ST, Switzerland) at 95 OVR, and Thibaut Courtois (GK, Belgium) at 95 OVR. Even lower-rated players like Saudi Arabia's Mohamed Kanno (92 OVR) have all six face stats above 90.
Expected Content and Rewards
The promo will include objectives, Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), and themed tournaments. National Pride and Star Performers items will be rotated in: Star Performers reflect standout World Cup group stage performances and are packable, while National Pride items are typically objectives or SBC rewards. Showdown SBCs will highlight key matches, such as the Spain vs Uruguay group stage game on June 27. Potential SBC or objective players for Week 1 include Argentina defender Cristian Romero, England winger Anthony Gordon, and Germany forward Kai Havertz, according to leakers.
