EA Sports released the first batch of club ratings in the upcoming FC 26, highlighting the 32 highest-rated teams in the game.
Compared to Madden as an example, also developed by EA Sports, FC 26 uses a star rating system for clubs in modes like Kick-Off. The best clubs in the game are rated five stars compared to a 99 overall that you might see in other games. While fans anxiously await confirmation on Ultimate Team ratings, EA Sports teased fans with the first look at club ratings for men’s and women’s football.
Here’s a look at the highest rated men’s and women’s teams in EA Sports FC 26:
EA Sports FC 26 Highest Rated Men’s Teams
Unless further teams are given five-star ratings closer to launch, there are just seven men’s teams to receive top billing. Barcelona, PSG, Liverpool and Bayern Munich won their respective leagues, but Napoli as the Serie A champions come in at just four-and-a-half stars. That likely speaks to their players’ ratings in-game, but teams to not win their league last season to get five stars include Real Madrid, Manchester City and Arsenal.
EA Sports FC 26 Highest Rated Women’s Teams
For the women’s game, just five teams received five-star ratings; Barcelona, Olympique Lyon, Chelsea, Arsenal and Bayern Munich. Barcelona represent as Liga F winners, OL as the Arkema D1 champions, Bayern Munich in the Frauen-Bundesliga, Chelsea in the Women’s Super League and Arsenal as Women’s Champions League victors.
More club ratings should be revealed closer to launch, but fans await confirmation on player ratings as leaks have been rampant in the community.
When is the FC 26 Ratings Reveal?
EA Sports confirmed the ratings reveal event will begin on Monday, Sept. 8. Given the language used, it seems ratings will be a multi-day event as EA Sports prepares for the launch of their latest entry in their popular video game franchise.
