EA FC 27 Season 2 Heritage Exact Start Date & Pass Rewards

EA Sports FC 27 Season 2 has a confirmed start date, a leaked name, and a reward track that multiple sources agree on in broad strokes. The hard facts are straightforward: Season 2 runs from October 22 to December 3, 2026, and it brings four official campaigns. The "Heritage" branding and the throwback player lineup come from leaks rather than official announcements, but the leakers have a consistent track record on Season Pass cards. Here's everything nailed down, everything still unconfirmed, and what you need to do before Thursday.

Season 2 Heritage reward track

When does FC 27 Season 2 start?

Season 2 begins on Thursday, October 22, 2026. EA published the full season calendar in its Launch Rewards Pitch Notes, so the dates are not in dispute.

EA publishes dates but not exact start times. The widely expected changeover is 07:00 UTC on October 22, which translates to 8:00 AM BST, midnight PT, and 12:30 PM IST. Treat that as an informed estimate and plan to wrap up Season 1 the night before.

What's official and what's still a leak

A lot of what you'll read about Season 2 mixes official information with community leaks. Here's the cleaner split.

Official for Season 2:

• Season 2 runs October 22 to December 3, 2026
• The four official campaigns are Ultimate Scream, UEFA Road to the Knockouts, Hall of FUT Unleashed, and Black Friday Thunderstruck
• EA's launch Pitch Notes stated that later FC 27 seasons would be "inspired by nostalgia, football heritage and beloved cult football eras"
• Eligible matches award 15 to 100 SP each, capped at 850 SP per day, on top of objectives

Still unconfirmed:

• The "Heritage" name itself has not appeared in any official EA announcement. Some leaked card art reportedly carried Ultimate Scream branding rather than Heritage branding, which suggests "Heritage" may be a community label that stuck rather than EA's actual season title
• The 30-level reward track and its player list are leak-based
• Card ratings, PlayStyles, and the free vs. Premium split on specific cards are unknown

Every leaked Season 2 Heritage Season Pass card

Multiple leakers reported the same core group of players for the Season 2 reward track. The names with the strongest cross-source agreement are listed first.

The first eight names appear across multiple independent reports and are the ones worth paying attention to. The single-source entries could change before or after launch. Ratings and track placement haven't leaked at all, so don't make coin decisions based on a specific card's position until EA reveals the actual track.

How the FC 27 Season Pass works

The Season Pass structure is the same regardless of which cards end up on the track.

How do you earn Season Points?

SP comes from completing Objectives and playing eligible modes: Ultimate Team, The Grounds (on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC), and Career Mode. Each eligible match awards between 15 and 100 SP depending on result and mode, with a daily ceiling of 850 SP from match play. Objectives sit on top of that cap.

If you want a broader look at what Career Mode brings to the table this year, the EA FC 27 Career Mode deep dive covers the full overhaul, including dynamic OVR and TransferRoom integration.

Free pass vs. Premium Pass

One detail that catches people out: if you bought the Ultimate Edition (not Ultimate Plus), your included Premium Pass only covered Season 1. Season 2 Premium is not included and requires a separate purchase. If you have a Season 2 Token, it redeems automatically at the start of the season.

Claiming rewards

Navigate to FC Hub > Season, highlight any unlocked reward, and select Claim. Upgrading to Premium mid-season immediately unlocks the Premium rewards for every level already passed. There's no penalty for waiting.

What to do before Season 2 starts

Season 1 ends the instant Season 2 goes live, and unclaimed rewards don't carry over. Work through this list before Thursday:

1. Open FC Hub > Season and claim everything. Both the free row and the Premium row if you have it. Don't assume the game holds them.
2. Check open Season 1 objectives. Any unfinished objectives are your fastest remaining SP source. The 850 SP daily match cap means objectives can push you over a level threshold you'd otherwise miss.
3. Hold off on the Premium decision for Season 2. You lose nothing by waiting. Once the real Season 2 track is live and you can see which cards sit behind the Premium wall, you'll have the information you actually need.
4. Clubs players: An Attribute Points reset for The Grounds Archetypes is deploying by 2:00 AM PT on October 22. Use any points you care about before then.

What's coming during Season 2: the four campaigns

Season 2 spans roughly six weeks and packs in four campaigns. EA hasn't announced individual start dates for each, only the season window.

• Ultimate Scream (Halloween-adjacent, late October)
• UEFA Road to the Knockouts (European competition-linked)
• Hall of FUT Unleashed (the nostalgia and heritage tier EA described at launch)
• Black Friday Thunderstruck (November, coinciding with the traditional Black Friday market window)

Four campaigns in six weeks means four rounds of SBCs, Evolutions, and market movement. Keeping a coin buffer rather than spending everything on day one is the practical approach, especially since the Heritage Season Pass card details that would justify specific coin targets haven't been nailed down yet.

Frequently asked questions

Do Season Points reset when Season 2 starts?

Yes. SP resets completely at the start of each new season. The Premium Pass SP boost also resets and only applies to the current season. Claim everything before Thursday.

Is the "Heritage" name official?

Not yet. EA's own language at launch referenced "nostalgia, football heritage and beloved cult football eras" as themes for later seasons, which is where the community label originates. Some leaked card art reportedly carried Ultimate Scream branding rather than Heritage branding. EA may use a different name entirely when Season 2 goes live.

Can I buy Premium mid-season and still get early rewards?

Yes. Upgrading to Premium mid-season instantly unlocks the Premium rewards for every level already reached. There's no reason to buy on day one before you've seen the actual track.

What modes count toward Season Points in FC 27?

Ultimate Team, The Grounds (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC), and Career Mode all count. Eligible matches award 15 to 100 SP each, up to 850 SP per day from match play, with Objectives adding on top.
