Sources: season windows and the Future Stars dates come from EA's launch rewards page, its Future Stars article and its Team 2 press release. The Season 2 to Season 4 promo list follows the roadmap EA shared, as reproduced by Insider Gaming. That roadmap gives promo names per season, not days, so every day in the table after 16 October is expected. From January the dates are month-level only, copied from last season's order. We have no rumoured entries: nothing credible has leaked yet.
How the weekly cycle works
FC 27 has run one promo team per week so far. Destined for Glory ran 25 September and 2 October, Future Stars 9 and 16 October, each time on a Friday at 6pm BST (10am PT). Team 2 replaces Team 1 in packs a week later, which is why EA's Team 2 notice says the items are in packs from 16 to 23 October.
Promo packs therefore refresh once a week, on Friday at 6pm UK time. The daily content refresh, with the new SBCs and Objectives, lands at the same hour. The clock change is what catches people out: UK clocks go back on Sunday 25 October, while EA works in Pacific time. For the Friday 30 October drop, expect 5pm GMT rather than 6pm, and check the in-game timer. From 6 November it should be 6pm GMT (10am PT) again. That shift is an expectation, not something EA has stated.
What comes after Future Stars
Future Stars Team 2 leaves packs on 23 October, and Season 2 opens the day before. EA's roadmap puts Ultimate Scream, UEFA Road to the Knockouts, Hall of FUT Unleashed and Black Friday Thunderstruck inside Season 2, and those four names line up with the Fridays in the table. EA has dated none of them yet. We change each date to confirmed when EA publishes it.
If you plan to chase Ultimate Scream cards on day one and your club is short of 300k coins, you can top up your club with FC 27 coins before Friday 23 October. Our Future Stars tracker shows which Team 1 and Team 2 cards still have rating upgrades to come on 3 February 2027, and the Evolutions guide covers the other upgrade route.
Trailblazers and Centurions appear in neither EA's roadmap nor our calendar data, so we list no date for them.
