FC Pro Live connects Ultimate Team with the action on the virtual pitch. Each FC Pro Open player is assigned an FC Pro Live item for the entire competition, with the world’s top players battling for ultimate glory.

How does it work?

Every pro player in the FC Pro Open is linked to an item. As players progress from earning points in the group stages through to competing for the trophy in the finals, they’ll unlock exciting upgrades for their FC Pro Live items in-game.

Fans can cheer on their favourite pro to trigger upgrades and also earn unique Viewership Rewards for their Ultimate Team clubs by tuning in each week.

The FC Pro Live campaign also features daily content in EA SPORTS FC 26 Ultimate Team, including Player Squad Building Challenges, objectives, Evolutions, and much more.
