FC 26 Season 6 release countdown: Exact date and time, season pass rewards, and more

We are in the final hours of Season 5, and Season 6 will go live pretty soon in FC 26 Ultimate Team.

The new season will have plenty of things to grind for as we move closer to the FUT Birthday celebrations. The upcoming season could be a long one that ushers in the popular TOTS promo, but so far, EA Sports has remained tight-lipped about its plans for the upcoming season.

However, we can already confirm when the new season will go live.

The countdown is based on the following times around the globe.

• 12am PT
• 2am CT

This is the usual schedule that EA Sports follows for new seasons. It could differ slightly based on whether the developers take daylight saving time into account. If there’s a change, I will update this guide.

The full rewards will be revealed once the new season is live. Once again, there will be two versions of the season pass. You can choose to spend extra to upgrade your pass for extra rewards. There are rumors of the following players appearing on the upcoming pass.

• Son Heung Min
• Oliver Kahn
• Rivaldo
• Ederson
• Casemiro
• Landon Donovan
• Kim Min Jae

Some of these players are rumored to get three playstyle+, so be on the lookout for those. Moreover, the new season will also feature silver icons, which could include the likes of Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. It will be interesting to see what the new pass looks like and what value it offers for those who choose to upgrade to the paid version.

The Anti-Virus pack is an important item to find in Marathon if you plan on taking part in the Lockdown event.

While participating in the event is optional, having the Anti-Virus is a non-negotiable due to how Lockdown works. The event takes place on the Dire Marsh map, so expect to find several dangers from runners and UESC alike. Let’s first look at how you can find the Anti-Virus Packs.

How to find Anti-Virus Packs in Marathon

There are two different ways to get an Anti-Virus Pack in Marathon.

Faction Upgrades

Once you’ve unlocked the MIDA faction, you can start working towards unlocking the required upgrade. To do so, you’ll need to take your MIDA faction rank to 5 or above. You’ll also need 23 Unstable Lead and 1500 Credits to get the upgrade. You can find the upgrade in the Armory section from the MIDA faction page.

Lootboxes

If you’re a beginner, it will take some time for you to unlock MIDA and get the required resources. Until you reach that point, you can rely on Lockboxes. However, you’ll first need to open the box. You’ll also have to rely on your luck since Lockboxes don’t necessarily guarantee an Anti-Virus Pack.

You can also find them from lootable containers and boxes, but they appear to be extremely rare. Hence, you’ll best have to hope for some great luck.

How to use Anti-Virus Packs in Marathon

The Anti-Virus Pack is exclusively required for the Lockdown event, as I mentioned earlier. When the event begins on Dire Marsh, consume the item. You’ll then need to look for a Lockdown Drive that has to be inserted into a blue terminal. Having the Anti-Virus consumable allows you to preserve your health and shield in the corrupted field.

While you try to complete the task (of finding the drive), UESC enemies will spawn at your location. Eliminate all to get some loot for yourself, and you can repeat this for up to two more times to try and find something nice.
