FC 26 Icon Swaps
Icon Swaps has returned in EA Sports FC 26, giving Ultimate Team players a clear, grind-based path to earn Icon rewards without relying purely on pack luck. By completing specific in-game objectives, you earn Icon Swaps Tokens that can be exchanged for Icons, packs, or Evolution-related rewards.
Unlike SBC-only Icons, Icon Swaps is designed around choice and planning. You decide whether to save tokens for a high-tier Icon, split them across multiple packs, or use them on Evolution consumables that fit your squad direction.
How Icon Swaps Works in FC 26
Icon Swaps Tokens are earned through time-limited Objectives across multiple modes, including Squad Battles, Champions, and dedicated Icon Swaps Live Events. Each completed objective awards a token, which can then be redeemed in the Icon Swaps section for rewards.
In FC 26, Icon Swaps is split into two token release windows:
- First batch: 10 Icon Swaps Tokens available until February 20
- Second batch: Additional tokens available until March 13
- Final redemption deadline: All tokens must be redeemed by March 20
Any unused tokens after the final deadline will expire, so planning your redemptions is essential.

What You Can Redeem Tokens For
Icon Swaps rewards are designed to suit different playstyles and commitment levels. Lower token costs usually offer packs or Evolution consumables, while higher token costs unlock exclusive Icon player items.
- Exclusive Icon Swaps Icons (untradeable)
- High-value Ultimate Team packs
- Player Item packs for Evolutions
- Evolution-related consumables
Icons available through Swaps are fixed versions tied specifically to the Icon Swaps program, meaning they cannot be obtained through normal packs.
Where to Find Icon Swaps Objectives
All Icon Swaps challenges are located inside the Objectives menu in Ultimate Team. These objectives rotate during the promo window and often require using specific squad types, leagues, or match modes.
- Main Menu > Objectives > Icon Swaps
Some objectives are designed to be completed casually, while others reward players willing to commit time across multiple modes.
How to Approach Icon Swaps Smartly
Icon Swaps rewards patience more than speed. Rushing for a single Icon can leave you locked into a card that does not fit your long-term squad, while spreading tokens too thin can reduce overall value.
A balanced approach works best. Check the full rewards list before spending your first token, decide whether you want one premium Icon or multiple upgrades, and track how many tokens remain available in future batches before committing.
For many players, Icon Swaps is less about chasing the biggest name and more about building a flexible, competitive squad using guaranteed rewards earned through gameplay.
