The World Cup Winners promo brings a set of special Ultimate Team cards to FC 26, built to celebrate Spain lifting the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Every item honors a member of the winning squad, and each card launches with five PlayStyle+ traits, which makes them some of the strongest options in the current meta.
Quick answer: The cards are not officially dated yet. Tournament winner promos in FC 26 typically go live around 48 hours after the final, in the usual 12pm CT / 6pm BST release window. Watch the Ultimate Team store and packs for the drop.
Release status and timing
Status: Rumored. EA Sports has not published an official release time for the World Cup Winners items. Based on how past tournament winner promos have rolled out, the cards are expected roughly two days after the final, most likely at 12pm CT / 6pm BST. If they slip, the next realistic window is the same time on the following day.
Once live, the promo appears inside the Ultimate Team store and in packs. You will know it has gone live when the new Spain items show up in packs and on the transfer market, and when a dedicated promo tile appears in the store.
All FC 26 World Cup Winners players and stats
The promo features Spain’s title-winning core. All of the outfield names below can appear in packs, so pulling them depends on luck, and their pack odds are very low. Expect them to sell for high coin totals in the opening weeks. Goalkeeper Unai Simón is the exception, as his card is not included in packs.

Every card in the set starts with five PlayStyle+ traits. Combined with the inflated stat lines above, these items sit among the top choices for competitive squads at launch.
How to get the World Cup Winners cards
There are two routes to the items, and they depend on the player you want.
- Packs: All 16 outfield cards can be pulled from packs once the promo is live. Odds are extremely low, so pack pulls are not a reliable path.
- Transfer market: The packable items can be bought and sold on the market. Expect steep prices for the first few weeks while supply stays thin.
- Unai Simón: The goalkeeper card is not in packs, so it will be obtained through a separate route rather than the open market.
If your goal is a specific name at a fixed cost, the market is the surest approach once listings appear. Ripping packs for these items carries very long odds.
Until EA Sports confirms an exact time, treat the 48-hour post-final window and the 12pm CT / 6pm BST slot as the best estimate rather than a locked schedule. Keep the store and your pack pulls in view around that window, and the arrival of new Spain items in packs and on the market is your signal that the promo has gone live.
