EA Sports FC 26 has added the Saudi Pro League Team of the Season to its Football Ultimate Team mode. The selection highlights players who stood out during the 2025/26 Roshn Saudi League campaign, joining similar squads already released for other major European leagues.
The Starting XI reflects strong performances across several clubs, with Al Hilal well represented. The full lineup includes:
Goalkeepers and Defenders
- Mailson (Al Taawoun)
- Kalidou Koulibaly (Al Hilal)
- Ibañez (Al Ahli)
- Mohamed Simakan (Al Nassr)
Midfielders
- Rúben Neves (Al Hilal)
- Salem Al Dawsari (Al Hilal)
- Konstantinos Fortounis (Al Khaleej)
- João Félix (Al Nassr)
Forwards
- Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr)
- Julian Quiñones (Al Qadsiah)
- Ivan Toney (Al Ahli)
This annual feature remains one of the more discussed elements of the Ultimate Team experience. Each week, new Team of the Season selections spark debate among players, who share opinions on social channels and community forums about the relative merits of chosen athletes. The Saudi Pro League’s inclusion underscores the competition’s growing international profile in recent years, driven by high-profile signings and increased investment.
The announcement forms part of a wider rollout across EA Sports FC 26 and its mobile version. Players can incorporate these items into their squads as the game continues to layer new content throughout the year. For those interested in building stronger teams, the Icons Edition offers specific packs, including a Gold Starting XI with untradeable high-rated players and limited player picks from earlier campaigns. These incentives encourage engagement but follow established patterns seen in previous versions of the game.
The Saudi Pro League has benefited from significant global attention since attracting several prominent names. Its presence in a major football simulation title further integrates the competition into mainstream gaming audiences. However, the Team of the Season format itself invites ongoing discussion about selection criteria, national representation, and whether overall team balance truly captures a season’s narrative.
From a broader perspective, features like this help maintain player interest long after launch. Ultimate Team’s card-collecting and squad-building mechanics continue to drive engagement, though they also draw regular scrutiny over progression systems and the balance between free and paid content. The Saudi selection provides regional players and fans of the league with recognisable, high-rated options that reflect real-world achievements on the pitch.
As the cycle of weekly releases continues, community reaction will likely shape conversations around which players deserved inclusion and which notable omissions sparked debate. For now, the Saudi Pro League Team of the Season gives fans another way to engage with the league’s standout performers inside the virtual environment of EA Sports FC 26.
