EA Sports FC 26 adds a Joga Bonito event to Football Ultimate Team that leans into samba-style flair with free 5v5 Rush matches and new 5-Star skill upgrades for existing players and Heroes. The promotion centers on quick, free-flowing 5v5 Rush games designed to reward skill moves and close-quarter creativity. Players can queue the mode without extra cost while the event runs and test upgraded abilities in shorter matches.
In addition to the Rush mode, the update applies new 5-Star skill upgrades to current player cards and Heroes. The announcement says these upgrades let affected cards express more “flair” on the ball by improving their move options during the event.
Short-form modes like 5v5 Rush tend to value dribbling and close control. That focus could shift momentary market demand inside Ultimate Team while boosted items circulate in packs and squads alongside other live boosts such as Team of the Week 12. Players who want to jump straight into the event can find the game’s storefront page at EA Sports FC 26 on Steam.
