FC 26 Leak Points to FC 26 Coins Return of Weekly Tournaments and More Accessible FUT Champs Experience

As EA Sports FC 26 inches closer to its official unveiling, early leaks are offering exciting glimpses of what could be major changes to Ultimate Team—the franchise’s flagship mode. A recent leak from FGZNews, a known (but not always flawless) source of insider info, suggests that two long-requested changes are on the way: the return of Ultimate Team Tournaments and a significant overhaul of FUT Champs.

While these updates remain unconfirmed by EA, they are already stirring conversation among fans and players alike.

Ultimate Team Tournaments Reportedly Coming Back

According to the leak, FC 26 will bring back weekly tournaments—a beloved feature that hasn’t been seen in the series since the days of FIFA 17. These events used to offer knockout-style gameplay and attractive rewards, but were phased out as EA shifted focus to other formats like FUT Champions and Squad Battles.

The new version of tournaments, however, sounds like a modernized revival. Rather than an open-ended format, the leak claims that EA will host two distinct tournaments per week, each with specific entry requirements. These could include:

    Using a squad made entirely of silver players

    Restricting team compositions to a single nationality

    Building teams around league-specific or chemistry challenges

These requirements would drastically change how players approach the mode. Instead of leaning on the usual overpowered meta teams, players will need to adapt, explore new card types, and think strategically about how to buy FIFA 26 Coins win with limited resources.
