Alright, so if you’re trying to level up quickly this season, season points (SP) are everything. You need them for rewards, free packs, the season pass, all that good stuff. The problem is, a lot of people don’t know the fast methods. So I’ve gone through and written down every way that actually works in FC 26 Ultimate Team right now.

If you follow everything here, you can easily hit 8,000 or more season points in just a few days. Some of these are obvious, some are hidden, and one involves Pepsi. Yep, Pepsi.

Grab 1,000 free SP with Pepsi

This might sound odd, but Pepsi teamed up with EA again. Basically, you buy a Pepsi can or bottle, and it gives you 1,000 season points plus an 80+ player pick. You just redeem the code printed on the label. Players are racing to stack season points fast, unlock top rewards, and grab exclusive FC 26 player packs before the competition even kicks off.

It works one time per account. So don’t think you can buy 20 cans and get 20k SP (they thought of that already). Still, for a cheap drink, getting 1k season points is actually a nice head start.

If you’re starting fresh, this alone gets you going before you even touch a match.

Weekly objectives – your main grind

Weekly objectives are where most players get the bulk of their season points, especially early on.

The first weekly one gives 150 SP just for playing ten games. You can do it in career mode, clubs, or Ultimate Team. If you’ve got a mate or family member to help, even better — play each other, score a quick goal, then quit. It still counts. That saves a lot of time.

You’ll also get extra points for scoring goals: 6 goals = SP, 12 goals = more SP, 18 goals = even more. Add it all up, and that’s about 750 SP from those early matches alone.

Pair that with your Pepsi reward, and you’re sitting close to 2,000 SP already.

Daily objectives – don’t skip them

They seem small, but the daily objectives actually stack fast.

Each day you get 25 SP for playing a single match, and another 25 SP for scoring two goals. That’s 50 SP a day, easy. Play five or six days this week and that’s 250–300 points without even trying.

They reset every day, so make sure you’re logging in daily, even if it’s just for one quick game.

Quick transfer market tasks

Alright, here’s an easy one that people overlook.

There’s a transfer market objective where you get 200 SP just for listing ten players. It doesn’t even matter what price you list them for. Just throw them up there.

Buy ten cheap bronze players (about 150 coins each) and relist them. Then there’s another task to buy ten bronze players, which gives another 200 SP.

You can then throw those into bronze upgrade SBCs for extra value. That’s 400 SP total for about five minutes of effort.

Squad Battles and Rivals

Now let’s talk about actual matches.

You can get 250 SP for playing ten matches in Squad Battles, Rivals, or Rush on at least semi-pro difficulty. Win five of those, and that’s another 250 SP, giving you 500 total from this section.

Here’s the shortcut:

• Play on semi-pro to make matches faster.
• Stick to Squad Battles; it’s way easier than Rivals.
• Don’t waste time with long halves — go for short 3–4 minute halves.

You also get 250 SP for scoring ten goals with a Brazilian player. Grab someone like Gabriel Jesus or Richarlison, bang in the goals, and that’s a quick extra reward.

Add it all up and you’re sitting around 1,500 SP just from gameplay challenges this week.

Career mode trick (the time saver)

Career mode’s a sneaky one. You can earn a ton of SP quickly if you change one small setting.

Start a new manager career, head into settings, and set match length to 3 minutes per half. That’s the minimum. Also, lower the difficulty if you want to breeze through.

By doing this, you can clear the career mode objectives way faster — usually in under 25 minutes total. Completing these nets you around 1,200 SP (including bonus rewards).

That’s your total now at around 4,700 SP, give or take.

Manager Live weekly challenges

Inside Ultimate Team, there’s a section called Manager Live. It’s easy to miss, but it’s one of the fastest ways to get extra points.

Here’s how it breaks down:

• Complete 1 challenge = 250 SP
• Complete 2 = 500 SP total
• Complete 3 = 1,050 SP total

They’re simple, usually things like “win with a certain formation” or “complete tactical changes.” Three quick matches and you’re done.

At this point, you should be hovering around 6,000 SP overall.

Player career mode

If you prefer the Player Career route, it’s also solid for farming SP.

There’s an objective for completing ten match goals or assists, and finishing that gives 500 SP. Then you get another 500 SP as a bonus for completing all player mode objectives.

Use the same settings trick as before: 3-minute halves, semi-pro. Each match will fly by.

That’s another 1,000 SP, putting you over 7,000 total already.

Clubs and Clubs Rush objectives

If you’re into Clubs or Clubs Rush, there’s a whole extra pile of SP waiting.

You can grab:

• 100 SP for playing one Clubs match
• 100 SP for scoring three goals in Clubs Rush
• 200 SP for winning twelve Clubs Rush games
• 200 SP for assisting eight goals in 11v11 Clubs
• 200 SP for tackling ten times in Clubs Rush
• 200 SP for scoring fifteen goals in Clubs 11v11
• 200 SP for completing forty passes in Clubs Rush

All together, that’s 1,200 SP right there, plus a bonus of 150 SP if you complete the full set.

That means you’re sitting at roughly 8,000 season points in total now — and most of it can be done within the first few days of the season.

Bonus tips for faster points

EA usually adds new objectives every Thursday at 6 PM, so check the menus around that time. Sometimes they drop limited-time tasks that give another 500–1,000 SP.

You can also find 1,500 season point packs in the store occasionally. These can be bought with coins instead of FIFA Points. If you’ve got extra coins lying around, that’s an easy boost.

Lastly, don’t forget partnerships like Pepsi. They sometimes extend those offers or add new ones later in the season. Always worth checking their site.

Example of an SP grind routine

Here’s what a full grind could look like if you wanted to hit 8k fast:

• Buy one Pepsi, redeem the code – 1,000 SP
• Knock out 10 quick games with a friend – 750 SP
• Complete all goal-scoring weekly tasks – 750 SP
• Do daily objectives for a few days – 250 SP
• List and buy 10 players on the market – 400 SP
• Play Squad Battles and win five – 500 SP
• Do Career Mode matches – 1,200 SP
• Finish Manager Live tasks – 1,050 SP
• Grind Player Career matches – 1,000 SP
• Finish Clubs objectives – 1,200 SP

That’s 8,100 SP total, give or take.

And none of it requires insane grinding. You can do all of that casually across a weekend.

Why this season feels better

Compared to previous years, FC 26 seems to reward players faster. The SP system feels more balanced and the objectives are easier to stack. You can combine goals, matches, and mode challenges all at once instead of doing them one by one.

It’s honestly refreshing that there’s a free path with Pepsi and daily missions instead of pure pay-to-win. Plus, the 3-minute half trick in Career Mode is a lifesaver. If EA keeps adding little side promotions like this, it might be one of the most enjoyable season systems they’ve done yet.

Final thoughts

So yeah, that’s pretty much every way to stack your season points early in FC 26. Whether you’re going for 8k or trying to max out the entire pass, these steps work fast and don’t require wasting hours.

Remember, the real key is mixing your game modes. Jump between Ultimate Team, Career, and Clubs, and you’ll complete several objectives at once without burning out.
