The final FUTTIES squad goes live Friday, August 14, closing out FC 26’s endgame promo run.

FUTTIES Team 4 is the last squad in FC 26’s summer promo cycle, and it drops this Friday. It arrives with a fresh batch of special cards, and the first leaks have already surfaced ahead of launch.

Quick answer: FUTTIES Team 4 releases on Friday, August 14 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 5pm UTC / 6pm BST. Watch for the packs to update in Ultimate Team at that exact refresh time.

Release time: Friday, August 14, 2026 at 5:00 PM UTC (10:00 AM PT)


FUTTIES Team 4 release status: Confirmed

The launch is locked in for Friday, August 14. Team 4 replaces Team 3 in packs, which also means every FUTTIES Team 3 item is pulled from the pack pool at the same moment. If there is a Team 3 card you still want from an SBC or objective, finish it before the switch.

EA Sports follows the same content window every week, so the exact go-live times across regions are set. Expect servers to be busy in the opening minutes.

FUTTIES Team 4 leaked players

The early leak list is short right now, with more names expected to appear as the launch gets closer. Team 4 is set to mix special cards for active footballers with Icons and Heroes.

Nothing here is officially confirmed by EA Sports yet, so treat the roster as speculation until the reveal. Final names and ratings are announced on release day.


How to get Team 4 cards

Most of the Team 4 cards land in packs, but the best value often comes from objectives and Squad Building Challenges. The earlier FUTTIES weeks delivered strong SBC and objective cards, and the final week is expected to keep that pattern going.

Every FUTTIES item, apart from Heroes and Icons, is fully customizable. There are also objectives that let you add a fifth PlayStyle+ to those cards, so the final squad can be tuned to fit specific roles.

Tip: pack odds shift the instant Team 4 goes live, so saved packs and high-rated fodder are most useful in the opening hours right after 5pm UTC.


How to know the drop went live

You will know Team 4 has arrived when the new cards appear in the pack pool and the FUTTIES Team 3 items are removed. The in-game store and SBC menus refresh at the same time, so a quick check of packs or the objectives tab confirms the switch. If you still see Team 3 content, the content refresh has not hit your region yet, so give it a few minutes past the listed time.

Team 4 marks the close of the FUTTIES run and the transition point toward FC 27, so this is the last scheduled promo wave before the season winds down.
