FUT 26 introduces Live Events as a core feature, significantly refreshing competitive play and offering new ways to engage with your squad throughout the season. Managing your FUT 26 Coins wisely during these events becomes essential, as entry requirements and team upgrades often demand efficient resource use.
You access Live Events through the new Event Hub, which neatly organizes all ongoing, upcoming, and completed events in one place. Events vary greatly, from squad restrictions based on leagues, nations, or player ratings, to match conditions like “First to X Goals,” “Mystery Ball,” or “No Rules” that can change gameplay dynamics. This variety ensures no two Live Events feel the same, keeping FUT fresh and exciting.
Among the Live Events, Gauntlets stand out as a true test of squad depth. Unlike traditional modes where you use one team, Gauntlets require you to bring multiple unique squads, one for each match. The Ultimate Gauntlet, for example, demands three separate teams and runs every two weeks. You don't get eliminated after a loss, but the more matches you win in a row, the better the rewards you earn. This mode emphasizes building a well-rounded club where every player counts, adding strategic depth to squad-building.
Tournaments also return to FUT 26 with a knockout format where every win advances you to the next round, and a loss sends you out. These tournament events come at key points in the FUT calendar and have their own unique squad restrictions and rewards, adding high-stakes excitement.
FC Pro Live Events are integrated for top players in high Rivals divisions on next-gen consoles, giving you a direct in-game path to regional leaderboards and esports qualifiers. Players looking to stay competitive in these events may find it helpful to buy FUT 26 Coins to build versatile squads faster, allowing them to adapt to new challenges each week.
Tracking progress in Live Events is simplified since objectives and rewards are accessible directly within the event screens, cutting down menu navigation and letting you focus on gameplay.
FUT 26’s Live Events and Gauntlets overhaul the way you compete by mixing squad-building challenges, unique match rules, and dynamic rewards systems. Whether you prefer casual fun or serious competition, these events offer new pathways to test your skills, earn rewards, and keep your ultimate team experience fresh and engaging all season long.
