EA Sports FC 27 keeps finding ways to reward long-time Ultimate Team fans, and the Hall of FUT is one of the more interesting additions to land with this year's release. Think of it as a step below ICONs and Heroes in terms of prestige, but with its own distinct identity: these cards celebrate elite players who made their mark specifically across the FIFA and EA FC game series, not just real-world football history. Five players make up the inaugural class, and more will follow throughout the season.
How does Hall of FUT differ from ICONs and Heroes?
Ultimate Team already has two well-established prestige tiers. ICONs immortalize the sport's all-time greats, players whose real-world legacies extend far beyond any single club or era. Heroes celebrate cult figures who defined a specific club or region. Hall of FUT sits in a different lane entirely: it honors players who became memorable specifically because of how good their cards were inside the game. The name is a direct play on the Hall of Fame concept, applied to EA's own virtual football history rather than the sport itself.
This distinction matters for how you think about building squads. Hall of FUT players won't carry the same raw stat ceilings as top-tier ICONs, but they bring nostalgia value and, for players who have been in the franchise for years, a genuine sense of recognition.

Who are the five Hall of FUT inductees?
The first wave of Hall of FUT cards features five players that any long-time FIFA or EA FC player will recognize immediately:
- Adebayo Akinfenwa
- Marouane Fellaini
- Loic Remy
- Eljero Elia
- Giovani Dos Santos
These names defined entire eras of Ultimate Team squad-building. Akinfenwa's strength stat was a meme and a genuine meta pick simultaneously. Fellaini's physicality made him a reliable link option for years. Remy, Elia, and Dos Santos each had their own moments as go-to budget or mid-range picks across multiple editions of the game.

How do you get Hall of FUT players in EA FC 27?
Getting your hands on a Hall of FUT card follows the same general paths as any other special card in Ultimate Team. There's no single locked method, which is good news if you're not planning to spend extra upfront.
Here are all the confirmed ways to earn Hall of FUT cards:
- Packs (standard and premium)
- Player Picks (earned through objectives or rewards)
- Squad Building Challenges (SBCs)
- Objectives
- Seasonal rewards
For most players, the SBC and Objectives routes will be the most reliable free-to-play paths. Pack luck is always a factor, but with Hall of FUT cards available across multiple reward types, the odds of encountering one naturally over a full season are reasonable.
When will more Hall of FUT players be added?
The five inductees confirmed at launch are just the starting point. EA has structured Hall of FUT as an ongoing feature, with new players set to join the roster throughout EA FC 27's full life cycle. That means the pool of available cards will expand over the coming months, giving more opportunities to collect and more variety for squad-building.
Keep an eye on seasonal content drops and major Ultimate Team events, as those are the most likely windows for new Hall of FUT announcements.
