EA Sports is bringing the chills back to Ultimate Team with the return of the FC 26 Halloween Promo, also known as Ultimate Scream. This fan-favorite event celebrates Halloween with creepy designs, supernatural stat boosts, and themed content that shakes up the Ultimate Team scene every October.
What Is the FC 26 Halloween Promo?

The Ultimate Team promo celebrates the spooky season by giving certain players a Halloween-themed card, whose fantastic upgrades transform them into monsters in the pitch. Every card stands out from the standard cards and items, thanks to its boosted attributes and spooky designs. These boosts are usually dynamic or time-limited, meaning certain stats may receive temporary or themed upgrades during the event.
Just like in previous years, the event will include packs, Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), and objectives, offering players multiple ways to earn these Halloween-themed items. To offer the game a seasonal twist, themed Stadium items, kits, and visual effects are also expected to return.
