EA Sports FC 27 ships with 128 celebrations split across five distinct categories, and knowing which button does what separates a clean post-goal moment from an accidental random animation. Eight of those celebrations are brand new this year, including Power Slide, Jump Dance, Motorbike, and Walk, so even returning players have new inputs to learn. This guide covers every single one, organized by category, with full PlayStation and Xbox controls.
How does the celebration system work in FC 27?
The game organizes celebrations into five pages: Basics, Running Moves, Finishing Moves, Pro Unlockables, and EAS FC Unlockables. The logic behind almost every input follows one pattern: hold a modifier trigger or bumper (L1, L2, R1, or R2) and then make a right-stick gesture, whether that is a flick, a double flick, or a full rotation. Learn that grammar and the whole list becomes far less intimidating.
Running moves fire while your player is still moving after the goal. Finishing moves take over once the animation settles. The two unlockable sets require either Pro progression or seasonal EAS FC rewards before they become available, so a brand-new Pro will not have access to everything from day one.
Basic controls: the three you need first
These three inputs are the foundation. Signature Celebration plays the animation assigned to your Pro. Random Celebration picks one for you. Cancel Celebration cuts the animation short so you can get back to the restart faster.
| Celebration | PS5 | Xbox |
|---|---|---|
| Signature Celebration | X | A |
| Random Celebration | Circle | B |
| Cancel Celebration | L1 + R1 | LB + RB |

Running moves celebrations
Running moves play while your Pro is still on the move. Nearly every one uses the right stick, so pick one you can execute without thinking mid-celebration. Classics like Thumb Suck, Aeroplane, and Windmill sit alongside crowd-facing gestures like Come On!, Blow Kisses, and Can You Hear Me?
| Celebration | PS5 | Xbox |
|---|---|---|
| Thumb Suck | Hold Square | Hold X |
| Arms Out | Tap Square, hold Square | Tap X, hold X |

Finishing moves celebrations
This is the largest category and the one worth spending the most time on. It includes player signature animations tied to specific superstars like Mohamed Salah, James Tarkowski, Steven Bergwijn, and Ashley Barnes, all triggered with a single press of X (or A on Xbox). Camera-facing options like Selfie (Next To Adboard) and Cry Baby (CAM) also live here, alongside the full range of standard finishers every player has access to.

EAS FC Unlockables celebrations
The smallest unlockable set, but arguably the loudest. Rock On, Predator, Power Slide (new this year), and Jump Dance (also new) all live here. These are earned through seasonal EAS FC rewards rather than Pro progression, so availability depends on what you have claimed.
