FC 26 Pre-Order Bonus Card Design Leaked: Base and Upgraded

FC 26 Pre-Order bonus card design leaks are starting to appear on social media platforms as FC 25 is nearing its final phase, and every major X EA FC channel is active, sharing their predictions for various FC 26 card designs. However, EA Sports has not released any official tweets or news regarding any FC 26 card designs; therefore, all predictions made by any social media handle are based on previous years' cards, and they are merely an imaginative interpretation of what could be.

With upgraded aesthetics, layered textures, and massive early access rewards teased, FC 26 could be arriving with more incentives than ever to pre-order.

FC 26 Pre-Order Bonus Card Design Leaked

The new FC 26 Pre-Order bonus card was leaked via two major sources on X (formerly Twitter). First came @exofifa_, who showcased the sleek card design for what appears to be an untradeable Icon reward, included with the Ultimate Edition of FC 26.

Shortly after, @FutSheriff, one of the most trusted figures in the EA FC community, backed the leak and added context around the card's potential role.

The card design features a diamond-silver palette with layers of gold strips. At the base of the card design, a reflection of the gold chamber-like design is visible. The outer part of the card is covered with gold, featuring three layers in the bottom half. It has two types of card designs: base and upgraded.
