What’s Expected

  • FC Pro Live
    According to reliable sources, the FC Pro Live promo is scheduled to begin around 21 November in UT. 

    This is a dynamic campaign: player cards will upgrade live, based on their associated esports pros' performance in the ongoing FC Pro Open tournament. 

    Among the initially leaked players are Federico Chiesa, Sandro Tonali, and Bremer, signaling a mix of high-profile and rising talent. 

  • Thunderstruck
    Leaker reports suggest that Thunderstruck is set to follow shortly after Pro Live, with a likely release on 28 November, though some rumors put related content beginning around 22 November.

    Historically, Thunderstruck promos feature upgradeable cards — their ratings improve based on real-world team performance. 

    This aligns with the pattern of strong promos during high-traffic periods like Black Friday, making it a likely target for a late November content push. 

Why This Matters for Players

  1. Live-Updating Cards: With Pro Live, players can directly ride the wave of esports performance into their own UT rosters. That’s a huge hook for competitive players who follow the Pro Open.

  2. Potential for Strong Value: Thunderstruck promos, if similar to past versions, could offer very good value through upgrades — especially for long-term team builders.

  3. Strategic Timing: A November drop is smart timing from EA: it hits right before holiday season, when player engagement typically ramps up.

Risks and Uncertainties

  • None of this is officially confirmed by EA yet — most of the info comes from leakers and third-party sources.

  • Promo details (which players, exact mechanics) could change last minute.

  • As always with “live” promos, the performance link (esports → card boosts) may favor pros, making it harder for average players to get top-tier benefits.

Bottom Line

If the leaks are accurate, 22 November could mark a shift in FC 26 UT’s meta:

  • Expect the Pro Live promo to be fully active, with dynamic cards tied to esports performance.

  • Be ready for Thunderstruck content to drop or at least begin teasing — with upgrade potential that could reshape squad-building strategy.

For UT players, this is a moment to pay close attention — both to pack structure and to how real-world esports feed into in-game progression.
