FC Pro Live Explanation: How the Event Works

For the third time, the FC Pro Open will be entering the decisive group phase in November 2025, leading to the crowning of the FC 26 world champion. This edition of the professional and semi-professional esports tournament will take place on a grand stage in London and will be streamed worldwide. To ensure that regular players of FC 26 can enjoy the spectacle, an event called FC Pro Live will be included within FC 26 Ultimate Team, where each of the 24 World Cup contenders will receive a representative special card, which can accumulate further upgrades as certain conditions are met. Below, we detail how the event will proceed.

What is FC Pro Open and FC Pro World Championship?

The FC Pro Open is an esports competition organized by EA Sports FC that allows all players of the FC series to participate by playing competitive matches in FC 26 and climbing the rankings. The top 24 players from around the world—many of whom are professional esports athletes with their own teams—will clash annually in November at the FC Pro World Championship in London. Over the course of eight rounds and a final, they will vie for the honor of becoming the world champion in EA Sports FC 26. The reward includes fame and a prize pool of $1,000,000 to be distributed among all participants of the Pro World Championships.

When does FC Pro Live Launch in FC 26? – Start, Duration, and End of the Event

The FC 26 FC Pro Live Event is set to commence on Friday, November 21, 2025, at 19:00 UTC. The initial presentation phase will last only one week, concluding on Friday, November 28, 2025 (19:00 UTC). However, this does not mark the end of the FC Pro Live event, as the scoring phase will continue until the finale of the FC Pro Open Championship on January 26, 2026, where the new world champion will be crowned and final upgrades in FC 26 will be executed. More details regarding these upgrades can be found here: FC Pro Live Upgrades Explained.

Which Professionals Receive an FC Pro Live Card in FC 26?

While EA experts select the players who will receive FC Pro Live cards, the process differs slightly from the usual promotions in FC 26. This is primarily because each participant in the FC Pro Open is assigned a card of a specific football professional intended to represent them in the in-game event. The experts take into account specific criteria such as the participant's country of origin, their esports team, favorite professionals, and more when matching cards to participants.

How Many FC Pro Player Cards Are There in FC 26?

In contrast to many other promotions in FC 26, the number of FC Pro Live cards is quite predictable. Since there are 24 participants starting in the group phase of the FC Pro Open, each receiving a special card, exactly 24 special cards will be introduced in FC 26 Ultimate Team. Just as in previous years, all 24 cards will debut during the first week of the event, with 22 professionals expected to be released in a major team release, while the remaining two will be made available through SBCs or objectives. Here’s an outline of the expected release plan:

• November 21, 2025 (19:00 UTC) = Release of FC Pro Live Team 1
• November 21 to November 27, 2025 = Individual FC Pro Live professionals available via SBC/Objective

How to Obtain FC Pro Live Cards in EA FC 26?

As the FC Pro Live cards will need to be implemented in the game promptly (as the FC Pro Open is underway), most of these cards will be included through a team release event and will be available only through player packs in FC 26 Ultimate Team. However, a limited number of cards can also be earned through themed SBCs or Objectives. Players who have difficulty obtaining cards through pack opening can always check the transfer market, as cards from packs are typically tradable.

For pack purchases, standard rules apply: the FC Pro live cards will replace the standard base cards of each player for the duration of the event. All packs containing player cards will have a chance to include FC Pro Live cards, regardless of whether purchased with FC 26 Coins or FC 26 Coin purchases, obtained for free, or earned through SBCs/Objectives. Packs that include a larger number of player cards statistically have higher chances of containing an event card; however, no guarantees for FC Pro Live cards are provided. The availability of which cards will be included in packs will always be tied to the timing of their respective releases in FC 26 Ultimate Team:

• November 21-28, 2025 = FC Pro Live Team 1 cards in packs
