As the new football season kicks into gear, fans are already buzzing with excitement about EA FC 26. Like every year, one of the biggest questions again is when the player ratings will drop. These ratings spark endless debates, like who deserves upgrades, downgrades, and whether certain stars are overrated.

Let’s break down what we know about the EA FC 26 ratings release date and who could make the top 10 list this year.

When would EA FC 26 ratings be released?

Last year, EA FC 25 ratings were revealed in early September 2024, just a few weeks before the full game’s worldwide release. EA Sports tends to follow a consistent pattern, where the ratings reveal happens about 2–3 weeks before release, building hype among fans.
