Coins are your bread and butter in Madden 26 Ultimate Team, and knowing how to streamline coin earning is essential for maintaining efficiency in the game. They’re your base currency through which you buy players or other items, so farming them is essential for success.
Now, you get coins from doing almost anything in the game, but what are the best ways to make coins in MUT 26? That’s what we’ll be talking about today. Different ways you can earn coins without grinding out hours on end. Some methods can be done all year-round, while others are time-sensitive. However, the more exclusive the technique, the greater the payout.
Guaranteed Coin Packs
Our first coin-making method revolves around guaranteed coin packs released by EA. These packs usually drop every time there’s a new program in the game, and can be found in the Training section of the store. Each time a new program is announced, you should check out the store for a Pregame Access Elite Pack that has a 1-buy limit. It will cost you around 625 Training Points.
Clicking on the pack will show you the guaranteed rewards inside. In the example above, you can see players will receive 2x 80+ OVR players and 2x 82+ OVR Elite players. These are some great OVR cards and can be beneficial for your team. However, if you’re looking to make coin, you can simply auction these players in the Auction House for free money.
Another way to utilize these players is by quick-selling them. If you quick-sell the minimum OVR cards from the pack, i.e, two 80 OVR and two 82 OVR, you’ll get 750 Training Points in return. Use the TP to buy other packs off the Training tab in the store, mainly the Pregame Access Player Pack. This method is more of a gamble since it depends on what you pull, but you can easily make 100k from this method alone. The downside is that you can only do this when EA releases the Elite pack.
Exchanging Players For Sets
The next technique revolves around completing playbook sets in the Sets section of your menu. Here, you can see a number of different sets that can be completed by exchanging players of certain OVRs. The higher the OVR requirement, the better rewards you’ll get. One of the best sets to complete is the Base Offensive Playbook Set. All you need are three random 70 OVR players for a guaranteed choice of a Base Team Offensive Playbook in MUT 26.
To get this set done quickly, simply go to the Auction House and find the required cards. You can find all the cards for as little as 200 coins from the Auction House. 70 OVR cards are not valuable at all and often go for 250-400 coins, meaning you can complete the entire set for around 1,000 coins.
Once you’ve completed the set, you’ll get the choice of picking an offensive playbook. All you need to do is compare the coin values of each playbook and pick the one with the highest value. Sell it on the house to make some fast coin. This method is pretty slow and requires a small grind of constantly completing the set to earn coins, but it is consistent and easy.
Pregame Access Champion Set
We know we just covered exchanging players for sets, but this set requires another round of explanations. Similar to the Base Offensive Playbook Set, the Pregame Access Champion Set allows you to choose an 85 OVR player from a selection of all the Pregame Access Champion Players. This set does require more investment since you need to exchange three random 82-83 OVR cards and two 82 OVR Pregame Access cards to complete the set.
The problem lies in the diverse price ranges of 82-83 OVR cards, especially for the Pregame Access Players. You’ll probably need to try and snipe cards at a lower price (since you don’t require any particular cards for the set) in order to flip them for value. Don’t be hasty with your purchases; go through different positions and try to find the cheapest cards possible before committing. On average, you can find 82 OVR cards for 40-45k coins.
You’ve got your cards, and the 85 OVR player selection is open in front of you. Before you pick a player, though, you should always check market values. As with the 82-83 OVR cards, every MUT 26 Pregame Access Champion card has varying coin values. Since you will need to invest at least 200k coins minimum (if you’re lucky), try to go for cards with at least 280k+ value. As with all set flipping methods, this one requires a grind, but can be repeated as many times as you want.
Solo Challenges And H2H
If you’re playing MUT 26, you’ll realise everything in the game rewards you with coins, no matter the amount. Doing your daily solo challenges or Head-2-Head might not seem like much, but do them consistently and you’ll see your coin count rise steadily.
These rewards come from simply playing the game. Sometimes, you won’t even know you’re completing these daily challenges, making it a great passive way to earn coins. Even if it requires 10-15 minutes a day, we’d argue that’s worth it for those free coins. Not the fastest coin-making method, but it definitely adds up in the long run.
Limited-Time Events
Limited-time events are one of the best ways to earn coins in the game. They have a high coin yield, and the best ones are repeatable and against the CPU. As of now, there’s a Pregame Access: Lead to Success event that rewards players with several card packs simply for winning a few games against the CPU under certain conditions.
For this particular event, you need to beat the CPU in 10 consecutive matches that resemble solo challenges. The rewards, however, make the grind worth it. You get a base coin reward, up to 20k, two Paydirt packs, and two End Zone packs on securing the 10th win. While doing these events, you’ll also be completing your daily objectives, so that’s a bonus. You can rinse and repeat this method for whatever time you can spare to get a few hundred thousand coins.
Always be up-to-date with current events in the Events tab, and especially ones against the CPU since they take next to no time to complete. Grinding this out is an easy way to get started in your coin-making journey in MUT 26.
