FC 24 Euro 2024 is a standalone mode headed to the biggest football game on the planet – and means big things for Ultimate Team, too. While EA Sports FC 24 brings an overhaul to the old FIFA series, it maintains the tradition of major tournament tie-ins like the World Cup. That means we’re getting all the real teams, kits and stadiums, and a fresh influx of FUT items. What else is in store, and when is it all arriving? Find out in GR’s FC 24 Euro 2024 guide.

FC 24 Euro 2024 is a standalone mode built around this year’s international tournament, which takes place across June and July. It’s set to feature real teams, players and kits for all 24 teams who’ve qualified, including Georgia, who’ll be making their first ever finals appearance. Naturally the real trophy will be included, along with nine authentic German stadiums. There’ll inevitably be a host of special Ultimate Team cards, too.

What’s happening with FC 24 Euro 2024 Ultimate Team?

Six initial FC 24 Euro 2024 Ultimate Team cards have been released so far, and there are sure to be many more once the FC 24 TOTS Live tracker has reached its conclusion. For the 2024 World Cup in Qatar, we saw time-limited cards added to the game for all the teams who reached the finals. However, that was a mid-season tournament, meaning permanent OP items would imbalance the game for the remainder of the season. This time around, expect FC 24 Euro 2024 FUT cards to last all the way through to EA Sports FC 25. As soon as more items are announced, we’ll share details here.

What FC 24 Euro 2024 Ultimate Team cards are there?

We’ve already had the first batch of FC 24 Euro 2024 cards. On 18 December, EA granted every FC 24 player their first Euro 2024 item, as an initial tease for the big tournament. If you signed in over Christmas, you therefore received one of these six cards. However, they were all untradeable, so for now there’s no way to purchase them off the transfer market.

  • Virgil van Dijk (CB, Liverpool & Netherlands) - 89
  • Ousmane Dembele (RW, Paris SG & France) - 86
  • Jack Grealish (LW, Manchester City & England) - 86
  • Florian Wirtz (CAM, Leverkusen & Germany) - 86
  • Alvaro Morata (ST, Atletico Madrid & Spain) - 85
  • Federico Chiesa (LM, Juventus & Italy) - 84

I'm GamesRadar's sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occasionally things that don't have a three-letter acronym – such as Chvrches, Bill Bryson, and Streets Of Rage 4. (All the Streets Of Rage games, actually.) Even after three decades I still have a soft spot for Euro Boss on the Amstrad CPC 464+.
