  If you love soccer and video games, you're going to want to

  much cool stuff happening right now.

  So what exactly is EA Sports FC-26?
• 0:51
  Well, it's a brand new soccer video game that came out on
• 0:54
  September 25th, 2025. This game lets you play soccer
• 0:59
  in tons of different ways. You can manage your own team,
• 1:02
  play in tournaments, or even create your own player and watch
• 1:06
  them grow and improve. The game has over 20,000 real
• 1:09
  players from the world's top soccer leagues, which means you
• 1:12
  can play with and against your favorite soccer stars from
• 1:15
  around the globe. One of the biggest things about
• 1:18
  EA Sports FC 26 is that the people who made it listen to
• 1:21
  what players like you wanted. They completely redesigned how
• 1:25
  the game plays based on feedback from the community.
• 1:28
  There are two different ways to play now.
• 1:30
  If you want the most realistic soccer experience possible,
• 1:33
  there's something called Authentic Gameplay that makes
• 1:35
  the game feel just like real soccer.
• 1:38
  But if you like a faster, more competitive style of play,
• 1:41
  there's competitive gameplay that's perfect for that too.
• 1:44
  Now let's talk about what's been happening recently with the
• 1:47
  game. Just a few days ago, on November
• 1:49
  26th, a big update called the Holiday Update came out.
• 1:53
  This update is version one point 3.0 and it's available on every
• 1:58
  platform you can think of. PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4,
• 2:02
  Xbox Series X&S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and regular
• 2:08
  Nintendo Switch. The developers added so many new
• 2:11
  things to make the game even more fun.
• 2:14
  First, there are new gameplay changes.
• 2:17
  They made goalkeeper movement work differently, They tweaked
• 2:19
  how the computer controls your defending players, and they made
• 2:22
  some improvements for people playing on PC.
• 2:25
  They also added some cool new items you can use in the game.
• 2:29
  There are new soccer balls, including one called the FA Cup
• 2:32
  Ultimax Pro Football. There are also new soccer boots
• 2:35
  from famous brands like Adidas, Nike, and Puma.
• 2:39
  If you like to customize how your team looks, there are new
• 2:42
  uniforms and kits from soccer leagues around the world,
• 2:45
  including updates for the Saudi Pro League.
• 2:47
  They even added new stadiums that are actually used in real
• 2:50
  life, like Alol Park. One really neat feature is that
• 2:54
  players can now have signature goal celebrations.
• 2:57
  That means when your player scores, they can do special
• 3:00
  celebrations just like real soccer players do.
• 3:03
  Some of the celebrations are from famous players like Victor,
• 3:06
  Yokreis and Laminumal. The update also fixed a bunch of
• 3:10
  problems that players were having with the game, like
• 3:12
  issues with tucked in shirts, problems with goal replays, and
• 3:16
  other little bugs that were annoying people.
• 3:18
  The update also added real faces for some players who didn't have
• 3:22
  them before. When you're playing the game,
• 3:24
  you want to see what the real players actually look like.
• 3:27
  Well, now players like Hugo Ecotype, Aiden Heaven and
• 3:31
  Rodrigo Gomez have their real faces in the game instead of
• 3:35
  just generic faces. Plus, lots of players from the
• 3:38
  Premier League, La Liga, Serie, and Bundesliga got new face
• 3:42
  scans, so they look even more like themselves.
• 3:45
  But wait, there's more exciting stuff happening right now.
• 3:49
  Black Friday is coming up, and EA Sports has a special event
• 3:53
  called Black Friday Thunderstruck.
• 3:55
  This event started on November 26th, and it's bringing special
• 3:59
  player cards into the game. These aren't just regular cards,
• 4:02
  they're dynamic cards that actually get better based on how
• 4:05
  the real players perform in actual soccer matches.
• 4:08
  So if a player scores a goal or has an amazing game in real
• 4:12
  life, their card in the video game gets an upgrade.
• 4:15
  How cool is that? The main Thunderstruck cards and
• 4:18
  special legendary player cards called Icons are coming on
• 4:21
  Friday, November 28th. More cards will be released
• 4:25
  later that day and again on November 30th.
• 4:29
  There are also special Flash events happening during Black
• 4:31
  Friday where you can compete in quick matches and earn rewards.
• 4:35
  These events start on November 27th and new ones appear every
• 4:39
  48 hours. Each event has different rules
• 4:42
  and requirements so you have to build different teams to compete
• 4:45
  in each one. Another exciting thing is that
• 4:48
  something called FC Pro Live just started on November 21st.
• 4:52
  This combines the regular game with professional E sports
• 4:55
  competitions. There are 24 professional E
• 4:58
  sports players who qualified for a tournament, and special player
• 5:01
  cards in the game are linked to how these real pros perform in
• 5:04
  their matches. If you get one of these special
• 5:06
  player cards, it will upgrade based on what happens in the
• 5:09
  real E sports tournament. This runs all the way through
• 5:12
  February, so there's a long time to collect these special cards.
• 5:16
  There are new challenges, special tournaments, and
• 5:19
  different ways to build your team through something called
• 5:21
  Squad Building Challenges and Evolutions.
• 5:25
  Speaking of new features, Season 3 of the game started on
• 5:28

• 5:39
  for early December that will bring more holiday fun to the
• 5:41
  game. One thing that makes EA Sports
• 5:44
  FC-26 really special is the Manager Career mode.
• 5:48
  This is a way to play where you become the manager of a soccer
• 5:51
  team and make all the decisions. You get to deal with real world
• 5:55
  scenarios and even alternative storylines.
• 5:58
  Some challenges take just a few minutes, while others can span
• 6:03
  multiple seasons. It's like being the boss of your
• 6:05
  own team. There's also a player career
• 6:08
  mode where you create your own player and develop them over
• 6:11
  time. The game has something called
• 6:13
  archetypes, which are different playing styles inspired by
• 6:16
  famous soccer players. You can choose an archetype for
• 6:19
  your player and then upgrade their abilities and unlock
• 6:21
  special perks that make them play in a unique way.
• 6:24
  Maybe you want a player to be super fast, or maybe you want
• 6:27
  them to be really good at heading the ball.
• 6:30
  You get to decide in Football Ultimate Team which is the most
• 6:33
  popular way to play. There are new tournament modes
• 6:36

  called Clubs where you can play with your friends.
