FC 26 will be released on September 26, 2025, but if you want, you can pre-order the Ultimate Edition now. The biggest incentive you’ll receive by pre-ordering now is the exclusive opportunity to receive an Icon player for Ultimate Team.
Continue with our guide as we explore how it works and who is included in FC 26's Icon roster, one of the most exciting in the franchise to date.
Which Icons Are Available in the FC 26 Pre-Order?
If you pre-order the Ultimate Edition of EA Sports FC 26 by August 26, you will receive one untradable and randomly selected debut icon from a pool of 15 legendary players. These players aren't just fan favorites; they are a new class of football.
Here are all the icons available in FC 26:
- Ronaldo
- Alex Morgan
- Zlatan Ibrahimović
- Marcelo
- Andrés Iniesta
- Caroline Seger
- Francesco Totti
- Toni Kroos
- Oliver Kahn
- Giorgio Chiellini
- Cha Bum-kun
- Sissi
- Steffi Jones
How Does the Pre-Order Icon Process Work?
Fans who pre-order before August 26 will receive early access to the Ultimate Edition starting September 19, 2025, i.e., a full week before the worldwide launch on September 26, 2025.
EA Play subscribers will also be able to enjoy the game for 10 hours starting the same day, in addition to other game awards.
When Do You Get Access to the Icons?
Once you pre-order EA Sports FC 26, you will automatically receive one random debut icon from the roster above when the early access starts.
Also, in November, the debut icon you have received will automatically upgrade to its Champion version, showcasing the player at the peak of their career and commemorating their most famous achievements. This upgrade will happen automatically, so no extra objectives or grinding will be required.
