- Primary Subject: A comprehensive promotional roadmap and schedule for EA Sports FC 27 Ultimate Team.
- Key Update: EA is implementing a tighter power curve with approximately five fewer campaign weeks, replacing standard promo slots with themed series that do not introduce new special items to packs.
- Status: Pre-Launch Ultimate Team Content Roadmap.
- Last Verified: September 15, 2026.
- Quick Answer: New promos traditionally launch on Fridays at 6:00 PM BST / 10:00 AM PT, matching the game's standard daily content refresh time for SBCs, Objectives, and Evolutions.
Once again, EA is trying to slow down the power curve. They claimed the same last time, and there wasn't any meaningful difference from previous years.
For FC 27, things are a little tighter. Early promo cards and season rewards do not look superior to regular cards. We also have official confirmation of all campaigns coming until Team of the Year.
Continue reading to know all the confirmed and potential timelines for promo releases in FC 27.
FC 27 Promo Calendar and Speculated Dates
FC 27 will have five fewer campaign weeks than previous titles.
These weeks will instead be filled by Series, like TOTY Warm Up and TOTS Warm Up, as well as other themed content releases that do not feature new promo squads.
We do not know where these series will be placed, so we can't predict all campaign dates. What we can do is provide rough expected dates for big promos like TOTY, TOTS, and FUTTIES.
From the confirmed details so far, here are the expected timelines for FC 27 promos:
Promo | Promo Confirmed Period | Expected Date |
|---|---|---|
Destined for Glory | September - October (Season 1) | September 25, 2026 (Confirmed) |
Future Stars | September - October (Season 1) | October 9, 2026 |
Ultimate Scream | October - November (Season 2) | October 23, 2026 |
UEFA Road to the Knockouts | October - November (Season 2) | November 6, 2026 |
Hall of FUT Unleashed | October - November (Season 2) | November 20, 2026 |
Black Friday Thunderstruck | October - November (Season 2) | November 27, 2026 |
New Campaign | December - January (Season 3) | December 4, 2026 |
Winter Wildcards | December - January (Season 3) | December 11, 2026 |
Festive Showdowns | December - January (Season 3) | December 25, 2026 |
Team of the Year | January - February (Season 4) | January 15, 2027 |
Fantasy FC | Unconfirmed | February 19, 2027 |
TOTS Warm Up Series | Unconfirmed | April 16, 2027 |
Team of the Season | Unconfirmed | April 23, 2027 |
FUTTIES | Unconfirmed | July 9, 2027 |
Pre-Season | Unconfirmed | August 14, 2027 |
Destined for Glory is confirmed to run from September 25 to October 9, 2026.
Likewise, Team of the Year usually starts in mid-January. Some recurring promos, like Future Stars and Winter Wildcards, have multiple teams. Others have only one.
We have provided expected dates based on all those patterns. Because of the obvious change from the usual schedule, we can't map out the entire promo timeline after Team of the Year.
Fantasy FC, Team of the Season, and FUTTIES are the only staples that always happened after TOTY. The rest were axed now and then for something new.
When Do New Promos Start in FC 27?
Promos have always started on Friday at 10 AM PT / 6 PM BST.
This has been the case with previous games, and we expect it to continue unless there are unexpected changes.
6 PM is the daily content time for the game, too. New SBCs, Objectives, and Evolutions are released exactly at that hour.
Keep in mind that while the season timelines for the promos are confirmed, expected dates are purely speculation. We will keep you updated as more details are made official or leaked.
