According to reliable leaks, the Ratings Reload promo is coming to FC 26 very soon, and it will introduce some fantastic cards to Ultimate Team. The promo aims to update player ratings based on the EA FC community feedback, with players only receiving upgrades.
So, without further ado, let's find out everything the Ratings Reload promo has in store for us.
What Is Ratings Reload?

Ratings Reload is essentially a stat refresh event where certain players receive tweaks to specific attributes based on how they've performed or have been perceived by the community since the launch of FC 26.
Fans can expect focused enhancements, including better strength, pace, or finishing, in place of significant all-around improvements, making this promo more performance-driven and realistic.
This concept makes Ratings Reload a refreshing addition to the Ultimate Team cycle, especially since it launches a few weeks after launch, adding a new level of excitement before major events like Road to the Knockouts.
Start Date and Duration
Ratings Reload is expected to begin on Friday, October 10, immediately after the conclusion of the Cornerstones event.
Just like other major promos, it's likely to run for two weeks, featuring:
- Team 1: October 10 to October 17
- Team 2: October 17 to October 24
For a week, every team will be available in packs, and throughout the event, more members will be joining via SBCs, objectives, and mini-releases.
Who Could Be Included?

EA has already teased the community with a poll asking which Bayern Munich player should receive a boost, and Michael Olise has topped the votes. This makes him a strong candidate to headline the first Ratings Reload squad.
Other possible additions may include players who have impressed early in the season but didn't earn strong base cards, allowing fans a chance to experiment with upgraded versions of their favorites.
What to Expect from the Upgrades
Don't expect any game-breaking cards here. EA has been clear about slowing down the power curve in FC 26, so Ratings Reload will probably include moderate but significant stat upgrades, the kind that have an impact on the game without making cards overpowered. Think of upgrades like:
- A striker getting a better finishing or composure stat.
- A winger receiving a Pace or Dribbling boost.
- A defender receiving strength or positioning.
These subtle enhancements should make the event feel balanced while rewarding players who deserve more recognition.
