Season 1 of College Football Ultimate Team kicks off alongside Early Access on July 2, 2026, and the Field Pass is where most of your early-game progress lives. It stretches across 61 levels, with a free track open to every player and a premium track that layers extra rewards on top. You climb it by banking Field Pass XP, and each level you cross hands you coins, trophies, packs, or player items.
Quick answer: Progress the free track to collect S1 Upgradable Players at level 2, recurring Fantasy Packs at levels 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 55, 58, and 61, and a National Championship Pack plus an S2 Head Start Token at level 51. The premium track mirrors the pack levels and swaps trophies and coins in between.
How to earn Season 1 Field Pass XP
You level up the Field Pass by earning XP from objectives inside Ultimate Team. These come in daily and weekly forms tied to playing games, opening packs, and stacking stats and wins. On top of those, each Season 1 program adds its own objectives, which usually ask you to play a specific mode or field a set number of players from that program while you rack up stats.
Both solo and head-to-head modes feed the same XP pool, so you can grind the pass entirely against the CPU if you want to skip online play. To play during Early Access and start filling the pass before worldwide launch, you’ll need the right edition or membership, which you can secure on the College Football 27 pre-order page.

Note: The pack levels (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 51, 55, 58, and 61) drop the same reward on both tracks, so those are guaranteed even if you never buy premium. The trophy and coin filler is where the two tracks diverge.
Milestones worth targeting first
A few levels carry more weight than the rest, either because they contain a large XP shortcut or because they set up your Season 2 start.
- Level 1 (premium): Grants two S1 Rare Fantasy Packs and a 6,500 XP boost that skips you straight to level 10, front-loading a big chunk of the pass.
- Level 2 (free): Delivers four S1 Upgradable Players, giving newer accounts an immediate roster injection.
- Level 51 (free): Pays out a National Championship Pack alongside an S2 Head Start Token that skips you to level 5 of the next season’s pass.
Trophies and coins make up the bulk of the in-between rewards. Coins buy items on the auction house, while trophies are spent through dedicated marketplace exchanges, so both feed directly into building your lineup.
Crossover rewards carried over from College Football 26
Progress from last year’s game doesn’t vanish. If you climbed the Season 9 Field Pass in College Football 26 and earned a Crossover James Harrison Champion, an 85 OVR version of that item lands in your College Football 27 account the moment you log in. The same applies to Hail Mary Packs and other Crossover rewards you unlocked previously, which carry into the new game automatically.
Between the guaranteed Fantasy Packs, the level 51 head start, and steady coin and trophy income, the Season 1 Field Pass is the fastest reliable way to stack up materials before College Football 27 hits worldwide launch on July 9, 2026. Lock in the free-track pack levels first, then decide whether the premium filler is worth chasing for your account.
