FC 26 Ratings Reload
Ratings Reload has returned in FC 26, a community-driven promo that upgrades underappreciated players based on fan feedback and in-game performance. If you’ve ever felt certain players deserved better ratings, this event is EA’s way of making things right by boosting their stats to reflect their real-life form.
In FC 26, Ratings Reload introduces a fresh set of upgraded cards featuring both men’s and women’s footballers. These new items are influenced by fan votes, community requests, and seasonal performance trends. Upgraded players can be found in packs, earned through Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), or unlocked via special objectives. New EVOs are also released during the campaign to give major boosts and tweaks to deserving players.

How Ratings Reload Works
- EA selects a group of players identified by the community as deserving of upgrades based on form or feedback.
- These players receive new, improved versions of their cards with higher ratings and updated stats.
- The upgraded cards are released in themed Teams, available for about a week each during the promo.
- Players can get these cards in packs, through SBCs, or by completing special in-game objectives.
- Unlike live items, Ratings Reload upgrades are permanent and do not change after the event.
