EA Sports is gearing up for a new Ultimate Team event — UEFA Primetime — and the first leaks are already lighting up the community. Following the official teaser, this promo looks set to blend the excitement of European football with the depth of FUT Heroes, creating one of the standout events of the FC 26 cycle.
UEFA Primetime is a brand-new promotional event coming to EA FC 26 Ultimate Team, designed to celebrate players and moments that defined Europe’s biggest competitions — the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Women’s Champions League.
Much like the old Road to the Knockouts (RTTK) campaign, Primetime cards will feature boosted stats, new designs, and dynamic artwork. Both active players and special Heroes are part of this year’s lineup, ensuring that collectors and competitive players alike have something to chase.
All FC 26 UEFA Primetime Players (Leaked)
According to early community leaks and teaser breakdowns, here’s the current list of players expected to headline the UEFA Primetime promo:
- Daniele De Rossi – Italian midfielder and AS Roma icon, often hailed for his leadership and grit.
- Michel Salgado – Former Real Madrid right-back known for his defensive reliability and Champions League experience.
- Eden Hazard – Belgian winger whose technical brilliance earned him European fame at Chelsea and Real Madrid.
More leaks are expected as launch day approaches. EA typically adds several Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) and objectives alongside these cards, offering players guaranteed rewards without relying solely on pack luck.
UEFA Primetime Hero Cards (Teaser Breakdown)
EA Sports has also hinted at three new Hero cards through silhouettes and coded titles in its teaser image. Here’s what the community has decoded so far:
- “Il Condottiero” (The Commander) – Almost certainly Daniele De Rossi, representing leadership and passion for Roma.
- “The Rider” – Believed to be Louisa Necib, the elegant French midfielder from Olympique Lyonnais, often compared to Zidane.
- “The Rocker Mystique” – Most fans suspect Ricardo Quaresma, famous for his flair and trivela shots, though some think it could be Iván Zamorano.
These Primetime Heroes will come with unique designs and upgraded attributes, reflecting their greatest UEFA moments. EA is expected to confirm the final lineup during an upcoming Champions League matchday reveal.
