EA Sports FC 26 is closing out the Festival of Football with Summer Stars, a new group of upgraded Player Items built around standout performers from the summer tournament. The promotion is featured in the game’s official Steam announcement.
The top tier includes 98-rated cards for Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Lionel Messi, Ousmane Dembélé, Vinícius Jr., and Mohamed Salah. That is a pretty serious pile of attacking talent for anyone building a Football Ultimate Team squad.
More Summer Stars fill out the lineup
The promotion also spreads upgraded items across several rating levels. The next group includes Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, Pau Cubarsí, Granit Xhaka, Aymeric Laporte, Muñoz, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Dayot Upamecano, with ratings ranging from 96 to 97.
Lower-rated groups add even more options, including Brahim, Wissa, Quiñones, Vojvoda, Gil, Manzambi, Sarr, Martínez, Kobel, Mazraoui, Stephen Eustáquio, Just, Puerta, Alvarado, and Dike. The cards shown in the announcement range from 94 to 96, giving the event a broad selection rather than limiting it to the headline names.
EA Sports also teased a special release for after the new world champions are crowned. The announcement does not provide further details about that item, so the final surprise remains under wraps for now.
