FC 26 Glory Hunters Explained

Glory Hunter in FC 26 brings cards with no PlayStyles, just stats. You can add any PS of your choice through the PS Lab in the Evolution menu.

It's similar to FUT Birthday's PS Bakery. This time, however, you don't need any coins to add PS or have any cooldown between usage.

The bakery was replaced entirely for FUT Birthday items starting this season as well.

All cards that are part of the Festival of Football campaign this season, which includes Star Performer, National Pride, National Pride Champion, and Glory Hunters, have customizable PS.

That's everything you need to know about the Glory Hunters promo in FC 26.
