FC 26 Season 9 is live under the Spain, Portugal & Morocco '30 theme, and the reward track carries the final major Season Pass payload before FUTTIES and Pre-Season close out the cycle. Level 30 on the Free track hands out a Kenny Dalglish FUTTIES ICON. Level 30 Premium ships a Jairzinho FUTTIES ICON. And Level 22 hides the headline mechanic of the season: a Premium Pass Token that lets any free-to-play grinder unlock the Premium track without spending 500k coins or 1,000 FC Points. Here's the full FC 26 Season 9 rewards breakdown, the Token maths, and whether the Jairzinho upgrade justifies the Premium spend.
The Level 22 Premium Pass Token, and what it changes
The Premium Pass Token is the most consequential item on the entire Season 9 track. Grind the Free track to Level 22, and the Token drops in your account. Redeem it and the Premium track unlocks for free, retroactively awarding every Premium slot from Level 1 through wherever you currently sit. That's a 500k coin or 1,000 FC Points saving on the exact same track that ran on the FC 26 Season 8 Premium Pass, which cost real money for the same reward density.
The Token also carries forward. If you'd rather save it for Pre-Season (the final Season of FC 26 after FUTTIES wraps), the Token stays valid through the end of the cycle. Two questions worth pausing on:
Redeem for Season 9? Level 30 Premium ships Jairzinho FUTTIES ICON plus a 90+ x6 pack, and Level 26 hands out a Glory Hunters Guarantee Pack (see below for what's inside). The pack column between Levels 21 and 30 alone stacks to roughly 400–600k of tradable value, comfortably above the 500k Premium price the Token substitutes for.
Save for Pre-Season? Pre-Season packs are structured as FC 27 launch-day carry-over rather than in-cycle chase. The 82+ x5 Untradeable FC 27 pack at Level 30 Premium hints at how heavy Pre-Season will lean on FC 27 pre-loading. If you're planning to play FC 27, saving the Token is defensible.
The efficient answer for most squads: redeem on Season 9. The Jairzinho card plays for the last four weeks of FC 26 rather than sitting in your locker, and the Glory Hunters Guarantee Pack at Level 26 is time-boxed to the current cycle. If your coin balance is short for the fodder needed to finish the Season 9 grind before August 13, you can top up your PS5 club to keep the Objectives cycle rolling.
For grinders working up to Level 22 fast, the SP mechanics are the same as they were in Season 2: front-load the daily and weekly Objectives, avoid the Squad Battles time-sink until XP multipliers stack. Our FC 26 Season 2 SP guide walks through the exact grind cadence that gets you to the Token slot inside seven to ten days of active play.

Standout slots worth flagging
Five levels carry most of the actual value on the Premium track. Level 21 stacks an 87+ x10 pack with a 75-item 82+ pack for SBC fodder, and that combination alone typically returns 200–350k tradable coins depending on the week. Level 26 hands out a Glory Hunters Guarantee Pack, which pulls from the exact roster covered in our Glory Hunters Team 1 breakdown, so the Neymar / Messi / Dembélé PS-customisable cards are all in play. Level 29's Player Pick is a 1-of-3 92+ UEFA Winners & Path to Glory pool, which lands anywhere from Champions League standout tier to a full-upgrade PtG card.
The Free track's headline slot is Level 30 Dalglish. Level 25 is a sneaky highlight because the twin Evolution drop (Anticipate+ and Season Ladder Excellence) opens two more chain slots without spending outside the track.
FAQ
When does FC 26 Season 9 end?
August 13, 2026. FUTTIES is expected to launch alongside or immediately after Season 9 rotates out, followed by Pre-Season as the final Season of the FC 26 cycle.
How do you get the Premium Pass Token in Season 9?
Grind the Free track to Level 22. The Token drops as the Level 22 reward and unlocks the Premium track retroactively when redeemed. The Token stays valid through the end of the cycle if you'd rather save it for Pre-Season.
Who is the level 30 reward for FC 26 Season 9?
Kenny Dalglish FUTTIES ICON on the Free track and Jairzinho FUTTIES ICON on the Premium track. Both cards ship with FUTTIES-tier stats.
Is the FC 26 Season 9 Premium Pass worth buying?
For active grinders, yes: the pack column between Levels 21 and 30 alone recovers the 500k coin cost. But most players should just chase the Level 22 Token on the Free track and unlock Premium for zero cost instead of paying.
What Evolutions are in FC 26 Season 9?
Free: Immovable Object, Make Your National Pride Star (Parts 1 and 2), Peak Performance, Anticipate+, Season Ladder Excellence. Premium: Unstoppable Force, Rapid+.
Final word
Season 9 is the strongest reward track EA has shipped for FC 26, and the Level 22 Premium Pass Token quietly turns the whole Premium ladder into a free upgrade for anyone willing to grind. Redeem on Season 9 for the Jairzinho FUTTIES ICON and the Glory Hunters Guarantee Pack, or save the Token for Pre-Season if you're planning to roll straight into FC 27.
