FC 26 Season 9 Release Date & Start Time
Season 9 of FC 26 is expected to go live on Thursday, July 9, 2026, around 8 am BST / 12 am PT.
That's the time when a season usually ends, and the new one always begins immediately after.
The season timing differs from the usual 6 PM BST for the daily reset and promo.
Based on the current confirmed promo calendar, Phenoms and Summer Stars will be the first campaign during the Season. FUTTIES should follow immediately after.
Everything To Know About FC 26 Season 9
According to leaks, the spotlight of Season 9 will be the upcoming 2030 World Cup, hosted by Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.
Seasons always focus on a single tournament year and include cards from the host and the winning nation.
Generally, that's the case for reward cards. But since we're yet to be done with the 2026 tournament, there will be diverse representation across multiple countries.
2030 also marks the hundredth year for the storied competition. To commemorate, special matches and celebrations are scheduled outside the host venues in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
All this gives a good opportunity to add a variety of cards.
Here's what players will be added to the Season 9 reward tracks, per leaks.
