The FC Mobile 3rd Anniversary kicks off on September 24, and it lands alongside the full 27 Season Update. That means new squads, new kits, fresh gameplay systems, and a month of anniversary content in one drop. Before it arrives, the Domino’s collab kit, the last days of Numero, and free Webstore rewards all deserve attention. This guide covers what’s coming to FC Mobile, what the community voted for, and what to claim before launch.
When Does the FC Mobile 3rd Anniversary Start?
The FC Mobile 3rd Anniversary goes live on September 24, 2026, together with the FC Mobile 27 Season Update. FC Mobile replaced FIFA Mobile in September 2023, so this is the game’s hat-trick birthday. Instead of a one-week event, you get a month-long celebration with new rosters, kits, and gameplay changes.
Most of the build-up has already happened, but a few dates still matter. Here’s the full timeline in one place.
| Date | What Happens in FC Mobile |
| September 1 | Anniversary Event Hub and retro soundtrack voting open |
| September 4–6 | Community player vote runs on the official anniversary hub |
| September 10–12 | Voting for EA SPORTS FC 27 soundtrack songs |
| September 13 | FC Mobile 27 Limited Beta closes |
| September 24 | 3rd Anniversary and 27 Season Update go live; Numero event and NUMEROUNO code end |
| October 12 | Voted FC 27 soundtrack songs arrive in-game |
How the Community Shaped the FC Mobile Anniversary Event
This year, players got a real say in the anniversary lineup. Three separate polls ran on the official anniversary hub, covering player items and two soundtrack picks.
FC Mobile Anniversary Player Vote
The player vote featured over 100 footballers across categories like world’s best, breakthrough talents, and regional stars. You could pick a top five, and voting ran from September 4 to September 6. The final lineup blends community votes with EA’s own selections, so the most popular names aren’t guaranteed a card.
The confirmed player list is still TBA, and we’ll only see the full squad once the event goes live. Leaked lineups are already circulating online, but none of them are confirmed, so treat any names you see with caution.
Retro and FC 27 Soundtrack Votes
Music got its own spotlight this year. The retro vote let players revive a classic track from past soundtracks, and the winner arrives on September 24. A second vote, held from September 10 to 12, covered standout songs from the EA SPORTS FC 27 soundtrack. Those tracks come a little later, landing in FC Mobile on October 12.
What’s New in the FC Mobile 27 Season Update?
The anniversary shares its launch date with the 27 Season Update, and that update carries most of the gameplay changes. Game Plans, Gauntlet Mode, and four new PlayStyles all debuted in the Limited Beta from August 25 to September 13. Beta features can still change before release, so treat the details below as their beta versions.
No Season Reset in FC Mobile 27
FC Mobile 27 won’t reset your club. Your players, resources, and progress carry straight into the new season. For long-time players, that protects months of grinding. For newer players, the gap to veteran squads stays in place, so smart resource planning matters more than ever.
Game Plans
Game Plans let you switch formations and mentalities in the middle of a match. You can save up to four plans, and each one pairs a formation with one of five mentalities. Those options run from Ultra Attacking and Attacking to Balanced, Defensive, and Ultra Defensive.
In practice, you can protect a late lead with a defensive shape, then go all-out when chasing a goal. It’s a small menu change, but it gives you far more control over how a match plays out.
Gauntlet Mode
Gauntlet Mode tests your squad depth rather than just your best eleven. You progress through rounds of matches, and each round brings its own objectives, Traits, and House Rules. House Rules such as Hot Zone, Position Hero, and No Rules can change how each match plays.
Every player item also has a limited number of appearances, so you can’t lean on the same lineup throughout. Win matches to earn Stars, and those Stars unlock rewards as you advance. If your bench is thin, Gauntlet will expose it quickly.
4 New Playstyles
Four new PlayStyles add fresh abilities for passers, set-piece takers, and defenders. Here’s what each one does and where we expect it to shine.
| PlayStyle | What It Does | Best Suited For |
| Incisive Through Pass | Better target selection and greater lead distance on through balls | CAMs and creative midfielders |
| Dead Ball | More curl, pace, dip, and control on free kicks | Dedicated set-piece takers |
| Driven Lob Through | Improved curve, control, and lead distance on lobbed through balls | Deep-lying playmakers |
| Slide Tackle | Wider slide-tackle range and faster tackle animations | Centre-backs and CDMs |
The Bernabéu Joins FC Mobile
Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu is set to become the first authentic stadium in FC Mobile. It appeared on the 27 season roadmap, though its exact arrival date remains TBA.
FC Mobile Domino’s Collaboration: How to Claim the Kit?
The Domino’s collaboration is the smaller, limited-time side of this week’s content. Its in-game reward is an exclusive Domino’s kit, and you claim it with the redeem code DOMINOSFC. It’s free, it takes about a minute, and there’s no good reason to skip it.
- Link your EA Account to FC Mobile through the in-game Settings menu.
- Visit the official FC Mobile code redemption site.
- Log in with the EA Account connected to your club.
- Enter DOMINOSFC and confirm the code.
- Open FC Mobile and collect the kit from your inbox.
Redeem codes work differently from the Creator Codes you enter at Webstore checkout, so don’t mix them up. For more freebies, check our list of EA Sports FC Mobile redeem codes.
Finish the FC Mobile Numero Event Before September 24
Numero is the main event leading into the anniversary, and it wraps up on September 24. It celebrates iconic shirt numbers through four weekly chapters built around No. 7, No. 4, No. 10, and No. 8. All four chapters are now open, so this is your final window to complete them. Finishing chapters earns Numero kits, which feed into the event’s featured player rewards.
The time-limited code NUMEROUNO also expires on September 24. It rewards a Draft Voucher along with Rank Up Tokens, so redeem it now if you haven’t already.
Free and Paid FC Mobile Webstore Rewards
The official FC Mobile Webstore runs its own rewards alongside the anniversary build-up. You’ll need your EA Account linked to FC Mobile, and the Webstore only operates in select regions. Everything you claim or buy lands in your in-game inbox.
| Webstore Reward | Cost | What You Get |
| First Login Reward | Free, one-time | Rank Up Tokens and 3,000 Gems |
| Daily Gift | Free, every 24 hours | A chance at Coins, Gems, or a Player Pack |
| Daily FP Deals and Booster Bundles | Paid | Bonus FC Points over in-app rates, plus boosters like Draft Vouchers and Star Shards |
| 2x FC Points Top-Up | Paid, one-time | Double FC Points on a single purchase |
| Star Pass Silver Bundle | Paid | Discounted Silver for unlocking the Premium Star Pass |
| Milestone Rewards | Paid, progress-based | Extra rewards across 10 tiers as your purchases add up |
Our advice is simple. Claim the first-login reward and the daily gift, because they cost nothing. Only spend if you already planned to, since Milestone tiers exist to nudge bigger purchases.
How to Prepare for the FC Mobile 3rd Anniversary?
A little preparation now will make September 24 far smoother. Here’s what we’d prioritize:
- Redeem both codes now – Claim DOMINOSFC and NUMEROUNO today, since NUMEROUNO stops working on September 24.
- Clear your Numero chapters – Finish any remaining chapters and spend leftover Numero Tokens before the event closes.
- Hold back some resources – With no season reset, your Gems, Coins, and Draft Vouchers carry over. Saving some gives you options when anniversary players arrive.
- Build depth for Gauntlet – Each player item has limited appearances in Gauntlet, so start developing a few reliable backups.
- Set up Game Plans on day one – Save one attacking and one defensive plan, so switching mid-match quickly becomes second nature.
- Grab the free Webstore gift daily – It refreshes every 24 hours and costs nothing to claim.
Final Takeaway
The FC Mobile 3rd Anniversary is more than a birthday event this year. It arrives with the full 27 Season Update, so Game Plans, Gauntlet Mode, and new PlayStyles land on September 24. Community-voted players and a retro track join on day one, while FC 27 songs follow on October 12.
