The hype surrounding EA FC 26 is building quickly, with the latest EA Sports FC instalment set to be released in just over one month. EA FC 25 is switching its focus to EA FC 26, with leaks revealing the new FC Season, called Pre Season, will include rewards that can be claimed in EA FC 26.

And now, EA Sports has started to reveal more information about the new game, including the 12 new EA FC 26 Icons coming to Ultimate Team. We already knew that Ibrahimovic and Alex Morgan were coming to the game thanks to the EA FC 26 reveal trailer, and despite EA attempting to tease the Ultimate Team community by revealing Toni Kroos' inclusion earlier this week, we've already known the full list of new EA FC 26 Icons for weeks thanks to EA FC 26 Icon leaks.
