- Quick Answer: Greats of the Game honors retired legends with highly rated, "juiced" player items, releasing Friday, June 19, 2026. Unlike the last time the promo was featured in EA FC, these cards are not live items this time and will not receive tournament-based upgrades.
With all eyes across the globe on the FIFA World Cup, pretty much all the ongoing campaigns in FC 26 are themed after the competition. This means new promo card releases will mostly be of active players.
Path To Glory does not have any ICONs. We already had Prime Heroes before that, which solely focused on Heroes. Now, to balance it all, the next one will put the spotlight on yesteryear greats who defined eras.
Here's everything you need to know about the Greats of the Game promo in FC 26.
When will the Greats of the Game Promo Release in FC 26?
Greats of the Game will go live on Friday, June 19, 2026, at 6 PM BST / 10 AM PT. That's the usual release time for new promos and their following teams.
All the upcoming promos before FC 27 have already been confirmed. Greats of the Game will be a one-team promo.
Glory Hunters will follow GotG and will have PlayStyle customisation similar to FUT Birthday and Season 8 reward track cards.
