It is that time of the year when buzz and optimism surrounding the new EA FC game pick up. We already know who'll star on the cover of the different editions of FC 26, and a brief look at the game with the reveal trailer.
All of this is a familiar pre-launch cycle. What's also a staple are pre-order bonuses that include FC Points and other benefits for coughing out your money early in excitement.
Below is everything you'll get in FC 26 if you pre-order the game.
Everything You Get With FC 26 Pre-Order
The pre-order bonus for FC 26 depends on the edition you purchase and how early you purchase.
Ultimate Edition players will get the following:
- 7 days of early access, starting September 19, 2025.
- Season 1 Premium Pass.
- 1 of 15 Player 93+ OVR ICON (pack) (untradeable) (must pre-order before August 26, 2025).
- 99 Shooting Player Evolution for FC 25 (must pre-order before August 26, 2025).
- 1 of 5 untradeable Icon players rated 93+ from previous campaigns, including Grassroot Greats, FUT Birthday, Dreamchasers & FUT Immortals for FC 25 (must pre-order before August 26, 2025).
For the Icon items in FC 26, you have to pre-order before August 26. That is around one month before the game's official release on September 26, 2025.
Finer details regarding who among the 15 Icons will be available and requirements for the FC 25 Evo are yet to be revealed. So far, only Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo Nazario are confirmed to be included among the Icons available in the pre-order bonus.
Meanwhile, the Standard Edition player will only get the following:
- One untradeable Icon Player Item rated 92 or above for FC 25.
- 1 Archetype Unlock Consumable.
- 2 Double Archetypes XP Consumables for 10 matches.
- 3 Icon Career Players.
- 5-Star Coach in Manager Career.
- 5-Star Youth Scout in Manager Career.
- Manager Live Challenge Content.
Among these Standard Edition bonuses, only the untradeable 92-rated Icon Player Item is not available for Ultimate Edition players, while everything else will be available.
All the Standard Edition bonuses are part of the Ultimate Edition, meaning you don't have to pre-order the Ultimate Edition to receive them. Other perks for Ultimate Edition include 6,000 FC Points over 2 months and an additional Evo slot. EA Play Pro will include all the pre-order bonuses.
All in all, you get big rewards only for getting the Ultimate Edition, and you get access to the game earlier. The Standard Edition costs £69.99/$69.99 and the Ultimate Edition is priced at £99.99/$99.99.
That's everything about the pre-order bonus for both the Standard and Ultimate Editions of FC 26.
