There is no officially scheduled major promo set to launch on December 31 in FC 26 Ultimate Team. EA traditionally avoids starting large-scale events on New Year’s Eve, instead using the day as a transition period between holiday content and the first January promo.

Players should not expect a new promo team, special pack event, or headline campaign to begin on this date.

What Content Will Be Available on December 31?

Although there’s no major promo launch, Ultimate Team will still deliver its standard daily content, including:

• Daily SBCs – New Squad Building Challenges as part of the regular rotation

• Objectives Refresh – Daily objectives reset as usual

• Ongoing Promo Content – Any active holiday or winter-themed items remain in packs

• Live Modes – Division Rivals, Champions, and Squad Battles continue on their normal schedules

Depending on region and timing, some players may also see weekly objective refreshes around this period.

Looking Ahead: January Promo Incoming

While December 31 itself is quiet, it sets the stage for the first major promo of 2026, expected to launch in early January. This post-holiday event traditionally introduces:

• New special player items

• Promo-themed SBCs

• Pack offers and objectives tied to the new campaign

As usual, major content drops are expected around 19:00 CET / 18:00 UK / 13:00 ET on the official launch day.

Market & Trading Outlook

From a trading perspective, December 31 is typically a low-hype, low-volume day:

• Promo cards may slowly rise due to reduced pack supply

• Fodder prices often stabilize before January SBC demand

• Investors usually prepare for the next promo rather than buying heavily

Summary

December 31 in EA SPORTS FC 26 Ultimate Team is a cooldown day.
No new promo launches, but players can still expect daily content and a calm market environment before January’s first major event kicks off.

Stay tuned — the New Year promo cycle is just around the corner. ⚽🔥
