FC 27 Destined for Glory Details & Schedule
Destined for Glory is a live promo in FC 27. It's the first campaign for the game and will feature two squads, running from September 25 to October 9, 2026.
A live promo means cards will get upgrades based on real-world performance.
Specifics regarding the requirements for upgrades haven't been detailed yet, but it will be based on usual match contributions or team results.
The gimmick for this campaign is that the squad will be selected based on community votes.
EA hasn't shared whether it is completely fan-voted or not.
Judging by the early wording, it should be like some past fan-voted events where both community and EA choices are counted together.
This could avoid having Mbappé and Pina in the very first squad.
While there haven't been many rumours about the promo, the card designs have been leaked.
