Why September 26 Makes Sense

EA Sports has long followed a consistent fall release cycle for FC 26 Coins its football franchise. Looking back at the most recent titles — FIFA 23 (Sept 30, 2022), EA Sports FC 24 (Sept 29, 2023), and FC 25 (Sept 27, 2024) — the trend is clear. That’s why the newly rumored September 26 release window for FC 26 fits snugly into expectations.

Earlier leaks had hinted at an August release, which raised hopes among players eager to dive into a new experience earlier than usual. But with no official word from EA heading into mid-June, those earlier predictions now seem overly optimistic.

Still Waiting for Official News

Despite the mounting buzz, EA has not confirmed the release date or unveiled any new details for FC 26. In years past, the publisher has used late May or early June to kick off its marketing campaign, beginning with a teaser trailer or blog post outlining new features. That hasn’t happened this time, though EA has shifted some focus toward launching EA Sports College Football 26 this summer.

Still, with a potential late September release on the horizon, the clock is ticking. EA will likely begin its promotional campaign soon — possibly starting with a trailer reveal before the end of June.

Potential Return of Liga MX

One of the most exciting leaks so far is the possible return of Liga MX, Mexico’s top professional football league. The league had previously been absent due to an exclusive deal with Konami’s eFootball, but that contract is rumored to have ended. If so, Liga MX could once again appear in EA’s football sim.

Its return would be a huge win for fans of North American football, adding teams like Tigres, América, and Pumas back into the mix. Career Mode, Kick-Off, and Ultimate Team would all benefit from the league’s inclusion, bringing fresh squad options and regional relevance to cheap Fut 26 Coins
 a growing fanbase.
