Icon Swaps is all set to make a return in FC 26 Ultimate Team if the latest social media leaks are to be believed.
Almost all reputable X handle related to FC leaks have tweeted that EA Sports plans to bring back Icon Swaps to Ultimate Team after many years.
Let’s look at the possible release dates, along with what we can expect.
FC 26 Icon Swaps release date (expected)
According to leaks, the Icon Swaps will go live in approximately two weeks. If I had to guess, Icon Swaps could arrive on either Jan. 22 or 23. The full TOTY releases during the same time, and it will be an excellent way to celebrate the new launch.
Only EA Sports knows when they plan on adding the Icon Swaps. Hence, take all the social media rumors and my own speculation with a grain of salt. If we do get updates about the release date, I will make the tweaks to this guide as well.
What to expect from FC 26 Icon Swaps
If you haven’t played older Ultimate Teams, you might not have heard about Icon Swaps. In simple words, you get to earn tokens and then exchange them for Icons. Unlike opening packs, you get guaranteed rewards.
Typically, bigger and better icons used to cost more tokens. The structure was similar to the Moments Mastery mode that we saw in FC 25 last year. However, there will be changes from the old system. Unlike older FIFA titles, FC 26 has multiple versions of many Icons. As of writing, I am unsure if EA Sports will only include Base Icons in the program.
I am also interested in finding out how we will be getting the tokens. There should be an exclusive, performance-based objective. All said, things are looking pretty exciting if you’re eager about adding guaranteed icons to your Ultimate Team squads.
