The Pre-Black Friday Challenge 1 SBC has arrived in FC 26 Ultimate Team, giving players a simple way to pick up a useful pack just before the Black Friday content rush. The challenge lasts only a short time, so completing it early helps you stack packs for upcoming promos.
What You Get for Completing the SBC
Finishing the challenge rewards you with an untradeable Prime Gold Players Pack.
This pack includes:
- 12 Gold players
- Minimum 82+ guaranteed
- At least 6 Rare items
It’s a solid SBC for its price, especially with Black Friday promos around the corner.
FC 26 Pre-Black Friday Challenge 1 SBC Tasks
You only need to submit one squad, but all conditions must be met:
Pre-Black Friday Challenge 1 Requirements
| Requirement | Condition |
|---|---|
| Nationalities | Minimum 3 |
| Same League | Maximum 5 players |
| Same Club | Minimum 4 players |
| Player Quality | Minimum Gold |
| Team Rating | Minimum 80 |
| Squad Chemistry | Minimum 31 |
The chemistry requirement is the toughest part. With 31 out of a possible 33 points needed, you must rely on strong league links or a club block of four players to reach the target.
How to Complete the SBC Efficiently
The most cost-efficient method is still to use fodder already sitting in your club. But if you’re missing pieces or want a quick template, the lineup below meets all requirements at a low total cost.

Should You Complete This SBC?
Yes—especially if you’re preparing for promo drops.
The combination of a low-cost entry and a Prime Gold Players Pack makes it a clear value play. Even though the pack is untradeable, the odds of pulling an 82+ starter or high-rated fodder right before Black Friday can easily justify the investment. Play Now!
