EA plans to slow down the power curve in FC 26 by giving major upgrades only around big promos, like Team of the Year, Team of the Seasons, etc. But that means we will not see any reduction in the number of promos we have had in the past.
Some staples are more or less guaranteed to continue, and we may get some newer ones mixed here and there. Here's how the schedule could look if past patterns remain unchanged.
FC 26 Promo Schedule And Speculated Dates
Below are all the promos that are likely to be featured in FC 26. Keep in mind the dates are purely speculative, based on past trends, and may change.

As we said earlier, while the promos mentioned above have a high chance of being featured, dates are purely based on FC 25.
Most of these have always had a set timeline. Like RTTK being one of the first, Team of the Year around January, and Futties being the final major promo in July.
When do new promos start in FC 26?
Promos have historically always started on Friday at 10 AM PT (1 PM ET, 6 PM GMT). This has been the case with FC 25 as well, and we expect it to continue unless there are unexpected changes.
Each promo will bring new themed and colorful cards alongside objectives and SBCs. Some events only bring one squad that is only packable for a week, while others will have multiple squads spread across weeks. Major promos like TOTY last several weeks to a month.
That's everything about the potential promo calendar for FC 26. Of course, we will cover promos and everything else as they are released.
