EA Sports unveils EA FC 27 Season 1 Premium Pass; Ultimate and Ultimate+ buyers receive it free
EA Sports on 19 September 2026 officially introduced the Season 1 Premium Pass for EA FC 27 Ultimate Team, offering a new route to exclusive rewards throughout the season. Players who purchased the Ultimate or Ultimate+ Edition receive the Premium Pass at no additional cost, while Standard Edition owners must acquire it with FC Points or by spending 500,000 Coins.
The Premium Pass includes tradable packs, Evolutions, unique Ones to Watch (OTW) players, player picks, coins and customization items, according to the report. The article advises Standard Edition players to weigh whether the rewards justify the cost and notes that Ultimate and Ultimate+ buyers effectively get the pass for free. It raises the central question of whether spending 500,000 Coins for the Season Pass represents good value for players who are not highly active traders or daily users.
The piece reproduces a promotional post highlighting Ultimate Edition+ bonuses verbatim: "🚨 Ultimate Edition+ is INSANE 🔥🔥🔥🔥• ✅ 10,000 FC Points• ✅ Hall of fame icon Pick• ✅ 85+ Icon Pack• ✅ Season 1-5 premium pass• ✅ 2 Evolution Slots• ✅ 7 days early access • ✅ Career Mode ItemsINSANE🌟⭐️ pic.twitter.com/O6OGVSHWg6"
The Premium Pass can be unlocked using FC Points or by spending 500,000 Coins for Standard Edition players, the article states. The report cautions that spending half a million coins in the first week of Ultimate Team is a substantial outlay and that players who do not trade actively or play daily may find it difficult to recover that value before the season ends.
One specific reward singled out is Maxence Lacroix’s Ones to Watch card, which the article says unlocks at Level 7 and is likely to rank among the best defenders in the early stages of Ultimate Team. The report also states that EA Sports has slowed the power curve for cards this year, which the article suggests will reduce how long individual cards remain competitively dominant.
For players seeking supplementary advice, the source references an FC 27 free packs guide titled "FC 27 free packs guide: Best methods to get free packs quickly." The article frames that guide as additional reading for users looking to obtain packs without purchasing the Premium Pass.
