One theory is that EA has been focused on FC 26 Coins launching EA Sports College Football 26, which has received the bulk of the company’s attention since May. Now that this title is nearing release, it’s likely that FC 26 is next in line for the spotlight.

Possible Return of Liga MX

One of the most talked-about rumors concerns the return of Liga MX, Mexico’s top professional football league. The league has been absent from EA’s games for several years due to a licensing agreement with eFootball. But recent leaks suggest that this agreement may have expired, clearing the way for Liga MX teams to re-enter EA’s ecosystem.

If this rumor proves true, it would be a big win for fans in Latin America and worldwide. Popular clubs like Club América, Tigres, and Chivas could once again appear in Kick-Off, Career Mode, and Ultimate Team.

Ultimate Team May Get Tournament Mode Back

Another feature that may return in FC 26 is a Tournament mode for Ultimate Team. This mode, a fan favorite from older FIFA titles, allowed players to compete in short-form, knockout-style competitions for rewards. It was phased out in favor of Rivals and Champions in recent years, but many fans have called for its return.

Leaks suggest EA may be testing a revamped Tournament mode internally, with the goal of adding variety to the Ultimate Team grind. If implemented, it could help re-engage more casual players who prefer shorter and more structured experiences over endless ladder climbing.

What Fans Are Hoping For

While the rumors and leaks provide plenty of speculative excitement, the community also has a clear wishlist of improvements and changes they want to see in FC 26. These include:

More realistic gameplay physics and animations, especially for player collisions, passing, and ball movement.

A deeper Career Mode that includes improved AI for transfers, smarter youth development, and meaningful managerial decisions.

Expanded club and stadium customization tools, allowing users to craft a more personalized football experience.

Improved online stability and matchmaking, particularly in Ultimate Team and Clubs.

More transparent and rewarding FUT economy, with FIFA 26 Coins better balance between paid and earned content.
