EA Sports has officially unveiled the star-studded lineup of Icons available as an exclusive bonus when you pre-order the EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition. This year, EA FC takes things up a notch, offering players the chance to kick off their Ultimate Team journey with one of football’s greatest legends … and not just from the men’s game. For the first time ever, women’s football icons also grace the pitch, adding an all-new dynamic to squad building and chemistry strategies.

From goal-scorers like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo to midfield maestros Iniesta and Toni Kroos, and defensive titans like Chiellini and Steffi Jones, the new Icon cards offer a truly iconic start to your campaign. Whether you’re building around technique, pace, or brute strength, these cards give you a massive edge right out of the gate.
How the EA FC 26 Icon system works
Each Icon in EA FC 26 comes in two unique variants:
- Debut Version – Reflecting the player’s early career and breakout moments.
- Champion Version – Capturing the player at the peak of their powers, with boosted ratings and refined attributes.
Pre-ordering the Ultimate Edition will earn you one of these Icons as a bonus item. Think of it as a ticket to kickstarting Ultimate Team with generational talent.

Early game changers for Ultimate Team
Let’s be honest: starting your squad with a card like 92-rated Ronaldo or 91-rated Iniesta could completely flip your Ultimate Team meta. Even players like Gerrard and Totti bring an irresistible mix of passing, shooting, and composure. Meanwhile, Cha Bum Kun is shaping up to be a fan-favorite for his pace-shooting combo.
On the women’s side, Alex Morgan packs clinical finishing, Caroline Seger eases possession with exquisite passing, and Sissi delivers that Brazilian midfield flair we all love. If you’re gunning for versatility, Steffi Jones is shaping up to be an early defensive brick wall.
