Festival of Football Captains promo

Leaks have revealed the return of the Festival of Football Captains promo in EA FC 26, which hasn’t been seen since FIFA 22.

When is Festival of Football Captains promo?

There is currently no official release date for the event, but it’s expected to go live on Friday, November 14, 2025, after the UEFA Primetime promo. This hasn’t been confirmed by the devs just yet, but it would make sense, given that it lines up with the final international break in 2025.

Captains promo explained

As the name suggests, the Festival of Football Captains focuses on the players who wear the armband for their respective countries. These leaders will receive an upgraded special card in packs, with boosted stats, extra PlayStyles, and Player Roles.

These cards will replace each player’s regular item for the duration of the promo, so it’s a great time to open any packs. There will also be the usual selection of themed objectives, SBCs, and Evolutions to complete.
