Latest EA FC 26 leaks reveals major changes & rumored features

What can fans expect?

It has already been confirmed that EA FC 26 is in development and the latest leaks regarding the game suggest significant changes to Ultimate Team modes, roles, and playstyles.

The most reliable leaker DetectiveFut on X has shared the information about the leaks. EA is poised to deliver revolutionary changes after FC 25’s $6 billion value loss, per FGZNews on X.

Live events and tournaments return in EA FC 26

The leaks tell that Live events and tournaments will make a comeback. These may involve qualification and include Cup and Card objectives, additional awards, and early SBCs, increasing participation beyond FUT Champs and Rivals.

This move intends to keep the 3 million FC 25 players, according to EA’s Q1 2025 report, engaged with dynamic content, as praised on Reddit’s r/EASportsFC.

New roles, playstyles and focus

EA FC 26 is going to evolve the gameplay with new Player Roles and updated Playstyles:

• Roles include center backs as wide backs, CDMs as box crashers, and LB/RB as inverted wingbacks, which add tactical depth.
• According to @DetectiveFUT, playstyles include the new Enforcer and renames such as Aerial to Aerial Fortress, Flair to Trailblazer, and Trivela to Inventive. According to FUTFC, these modifications, tested with Unreal Engine’s TRACAB technology, guarantee crisper AI and animations.
• A new Versatility focus, albeit details are scant, suggests variable player positions.

FUT Champions and Division Rivals Revamps

FUT Champions is about to get a huge overhaul:

• No playoffs: According to @FGZNews, players in Division 5+ qualify directly, while those in Division 6 and lower compete in FUT Champs Challengers, a more informal version to prevent smurfing.
• Checkpoints become Stage Events with objectives (for example, “Score first”). According to @DetectiveFUT, winning streaks double Rivals points, relegation protection helps during tough runs, and quit penalties (temporary queue bans) discourage dashboarding in EA FC 26.
