EA FC 26 Season 6
New Silver Superstars
World Tour Season 6 revives the World Tour Silver Superstars format, focusing on the tournament winners and host nation favourites. Expect seven Brazilian record-breakers and standouts from the hosts:
- Legendary Brazilians such as Ronaldinho, Cafu and Roberto Carlos headline the Brazilian content.
- Host nation icons include South Korea’s Park Ji-sung and Japan’s Hidetoshi Nakata, both celebrated with silver items and League rewards.
The Silver Superstars League returns on 10 April. If you enjoy building low-rated teams, this is your season: take silver squads (under 75 OVR), compete in the league and earn themed packs and Evolution rewards.
Chained Evolution
Season 6 introduces a first-of-its-kind chained Evolution system for eligible South Korean and Japanese players.
The chain gives you multiple branching choices so you can shape a single player into an Attack, Midfield or Defence specialist — and it’s repeatable across several evolution tiers.
Level 1: Convert an eligible South Korean or Japanese player (max 85 OVR) into the World Tour Evolutions rarity; the item becomes 85 OVR.
Level 3 (Step 2): Choose an Attack/Mid/Defence path. Player moves 85 → 87 OVR and gains 4★ Weak Foot / 4★ Skill Moves.
Level 3 (First PlayStyle+ choice): Pick one PlayStyle+ from options like Tiki Taka, Incisive Pass, Low Driven Shot, Technical, Jockey or Intercept.
Level 7 (Step 3): Another path choice lifts the player to 89 OVR and adds position-focused PlayStyles.
Level 7 (Second PlayStyle+ choice): Choose from PlayStyle+ options such as Finesse, First Touch, Pinged Pass, Rapid, Quick Step or Anticipate.
Level 21 (Final Step): Final evolution to Idol status: player reaches 91 OVR, gains additional base PlayStyles and is upgraded to 5★ Weak Foot and 5★ Skill Moves.
This chained approach lets you custom-build one Idol per run, tailoring the outcome to how you want the player to perform on pitch and in your squad.
World Tour Player Programme
Season 6 adds the World Tour Player Programme — a coordinated set of rewards, SBCs and Objectives that spotlight South Korean, Japanese and Brazilian players across FUT.
Expect Player Items in the Season Ladder, Objective rewards and special SBC packs tied to the World Tour theme.
Triple Threat League
The Triple Threat League returns with 2-minute halves and first-to-three-goals matches; you get six daily attempts and weekly Objectives for Packs and Evolutions.
Ultimate Gauntlet is also part of EA FC 26 Season 6, offering high-value rewards for those who win the tournament outright.

Quick Tips
Pick a host-nation player early. The chained Evolution rewards are limited to South Korean and Japanese players — getting one signed and into your club early accelerates the Idol path.
Play the Silver Superstars League. If you like building niche silver squads, the rewards are generous for progression and Evolutions.
Balance your PlayStyle+ choices. The two PlayStyle+ picks at levels 3 and 7 define the player’s role — choose complementary PlayStyles to maximize the final 91 OVR Idol.
Use the Premium Pass only if you want top cosmetics and ICON targets. The Premium pass gives faster access to high-end Evolutions and ICON picks, but the standard Ladder still offers useful Evolution consumables.
Final Whistle
World Tour Season 6 turns EA FC 26 into a celebration of South Korea & Japan ’02 — combining nostalgia, meaningful player Evolutions and plenty of collectible rewards.
Whether you’re chasing silver meta thrills, building a chained Idol from the host nations or stacking ICON bundles, this Season delivers depth and creativity for FUT players and Career Mode managers alike.
