EA Sports has launched Ultimate Gauntlet 4 in FC 26 Ultimate Team, adding another major objective chain packed with rare packs, Evolution consumables, and exclusive UEFA Primetime players. This fourth installment continues the tradition of rewarding dedicated players who complete multiple match-based milestones — this time, with a free 86-rated Giuliano Simeone promo card up for grabs.
What Is the Ultimate Gauntlet Mode?
Ultimate Gauntlet is one of the newest additions to EA Sports FC 26 Ultimate Team. It’s designed to test your squad depth and management skills by requiring you to play three matches per entry — each with completely unique squads. Once a team (including substitutes) has been used, it can’t be reused in the same entry.
This format pushes players to build diverse rosters across positions and chemistry links, while also offering some of the most rewarding progression systems seen in Ultimate Team so far.
All Ultimate Gauntlet 4 Main Objectives and Rewards
There are nine main tasks to complete in Ultimate Gauntlet 4, each offering its own reward, plus a group reward for finishing all milestones. The objectives are straightforward — play matches and score goals to earn packs and exclusive items.
| Task | How to Complete | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Play 1 | Play 1 match in Ultimate Gauntlet 4 | 81+ x2 Rare Gold Players Pack |
| Play 2 | Play 2 matches in Ultimate Gauntlet 4 | 81+ x3 Rare Gold Players Pack |

Group Reward: Complete all main objectives to earn 86-rated UEFA Primetime Giuliano Simeone (Atlético Madrid).
Bonus Objectives and Rewards
EA has added additional win-based objectives that provide even more value. These can be completed alongside the main tasks, and players no longer need to finish a set number of objectives before claiming their rewards — a fix from the previous Gauntlet.
