Season 1 will mark the start of festivities in FC 26 Ultimate Team, and we'll all have new rewards to unlock.
The first season will be structured like our older seasons in FC 25. So far, EA Sports has already confirmed vital information regarding what to expect, including the key rewards that will be part of the Season Pass.
Let's look at when the new season will be available for all.

FC 26 Season 1 countdown
New seasons in FC 26 typically begin at 9am BST on a Thursday. Season 1 will be slightly different due to the global launch. The new season, as confirmed by the official stream, is already live. However, the countdown below is timed with the PC launch, as that's when the common audience can play the game.
The countdown is based on the following timings.
- 5am PT
- 7am CT
- 8am ET
- 12pm UTC
- 1pm BST
- 2pm CEST
This is exclusively meant for PC users. Console users must wait for midnight to arrive in their respective regions. Alternatively, you can use the New Zealand trick to get extra hours of gameplay if you're on console.
