Celebrating the legendary 2010 South Africa World Cup, marked by an unforgettable atmosphere and, of course, by Spain’s first-ever win, EA FC 26‘s Season 7 has just debuted.
Available until June 2nd, 2026 (for a total of 41 days), the Season comes with its own Seasonal Pass, featuring a new lineup of icons (spearheaded by a 94-rated Xabi Alonso and a 95-rated Andres Iniesta) and a new evolution chain in Make Your World Tour Legend. Wait? World Tour, does that mean? Yes, the evolution allows you to turn any World Tour Silver Icon into a three-PlayStyles pick up to 92-rated after reaching levels 3, 8, and 21 in the free ladder.

If you are unsatisfied with the pre-selected evo paths, you can also get extra PS+ options by completing the daily S7 Spirit Of Africa Tournaments, both of which will be live until the season’s end. As usual, a new series of Silver Icons has also debuted, with eight players within Spain’s winning squad making the cut in Carles Puyol, Xavi, Fernando Torres, Xabi Alonso, Capdevilla, Cesc Fabregas, Casillas, and Iniesta. To add to that, here’s an overview of all of the players you can get from the Premium and Free Season 7 Pass ladders in EA FC 26:

As you can expect, the Season Pass has been well received by the community, with some seeing the new Silver Evolutions as a worthy reward for their months of grinding. Many also noted that the new Iniesta has enough pull to justify the Premium price, although we would still not recommend upgrading until you are guaranteed to get the card.
So, what are your thoughts on the new season? And regarding the new free evolution chain, will you use it to get a meta proff defender in Maldini, or go for a legendary striker in R9? Let us know below.
