EA SPORTS FC 27 Adds FUT Gallery and Streamlined SBCs Ahead of Sept. 18 Launch

Summary
Sept. 18 is the launch date for EA SPORTS FC 27, which overhauls Ultimate Team with a new FUT Gallery that tracks most player items across a club’s history and turns completed sets into rewards.
Holographic Items are the new chase cards—rarer visual variants of eligible special items that keep the same in-match attributes but boost Gallery set scores, with Regular and Pristine versions available.
Streamlined SBCs replace full-squad building in most Player and Upgrade challenges with a score-based submission system that accepts duplicates and partial progress, while traditional puzzle-style SBCs remain.
Evolutions gain branching Pathways and chain previews, while rewards shift toward end-of-match payouts, direct FUT Coins and tradeable packs to make progression faster and more flexible.
EA is also slowing power creep by cutting the maximum PlayStyle+ per item to 3 and reducing campaign-squad weeks by about 5 across the season.
