EA Sports is preparing to introduce Joga Bonito to FC 26 Ultimate Team, and the early signs suggest this will be one of the standout promos of the year. Unlike returning campaigns such as Thunderstruck, Joga Bonito is a completely new theme centred around players who define “The Beautiful Game”—footballers known for flair, creativity, and pure technical brilliance.
What Is the Joga Bonito Promo in FC 26?
Joga Bonito is shaping up to be a celebration of stylish football. The promo focuses on footballers—past and present—who built their reputation through flair, agility, and technical mastery rather than brute force or pace alone.
Here’s what players can expect from the Joga Bonito promo
- Active players with boosted flair-oriented stats
- New Joga Bonito Heroes
- SBC and Objective-exclusive cards
- Team 1 launch on December 5, 2025
- Two types of special cards: Active Players & Heroes
The promo directly replaces Thunderstruck in the weekly Ultimate Team cycle.

December 5, 2025 – 12 PM CT / 6 PM GMT
This timing returns FC 26 to its typical Friday release window for Ultimate Team content.
