Read this as a leak, not a roster. EA sets the season window but has not named or rated any of the twelve, and the December 4 promo is a community read of a teaser, not an announcement. The dates below that come from EA are marked; everything about the names is not.
The FC 27 Season 3 leaked names
A community leak posted the twelve names with card art circulating. Only David Silva carries a reported class, an ICON, and Diogo Jota a Hero. The other ten are names with no card type, no OVR, no position and no price attached, so treat each row as a claim, not a squad list.
| Player | Nation | Reported class |
|---|---|---|
| David Silva | Spain | ICON |
| Diogo Jota | Portugal | Hero |
| Michael Carrick | England | Not given |
| Leighton Baines | England | Not given |
| Jermain Defoe | England | Not given |
| Daniel Sturridge | England | Not given |
| Morten Gamst Pedersen | Norway | Not given |
| Samir Nasri | France | Not given |
| Kolo Toure | Ivory Coast | Not given |
| Sami Hyypia | Finland | Not given |
| Rafael van der Vaart | Netherlands | Not given |
| Tuncay | Turkey | Not given |
The English quartet of Carrick, Baines, Defoe and Sturridge, plus the Premier League spells of Silva, Toure, Nasri and van der Vaart, means most of the twelve will link inside a Hybrid Nations or a Premier League heavy squad once they land.
Silva as an ICON adds a league wide plus one, and Jota as a Hero links his league too, so the two confirmed classes pull more weight for chemistry than the ten unnamed rows.
Four of the twelve are English and most of the rest have Premier League spells, which matters for chemistry once cards land. None of it is confirmed by EA, so the list can shift before reveal.
What EA confirmed about FC 27 Season 3
EA published the season window and the campaign shape. Season 3 runs 3 December 2026 to 14 January 2027, and Season 2 closes on 3 December, which is when the current Gallery Token Store lineup rotates. EA also teased a new campaign built around historic players for Season 3 but gave no name or date.
If you hold Gallery tokens, the base Hall of FUT items stay obtainable across Season 2, but the specific Token Store lineup rotates at the 3 December cutoff. Spend tokens on base items you actually want now instead of guessing what carries over, because EA has not said the same items return in Season 3. A token you sit on past the cutoff is not a token you can spend on the card you had in mind.
| Detail | Status | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Season 3 window, 3 Dec 2026 to 14 Jan 2027 | Confirmed | EA Launch Rewards |
| Season 2 ends 3 December 2026 | Confirmed | EA Launch Rewards |
| New campaign with historic players teased | Confirmed as teaser | EA Season 2 roadmap, 22 Oct |
| The twelve names, classes and ratings | Not confirmed | Community leak |
| December 4 promo date | Not confirmed | Community expectation |
The December 4 promo tease
EA's roadmap places a new campaign with historic players in early Season 3 and marks it coming soon. Community trackers expect the first promo drop on Friday 4 December, the first Friday after the season turns, with an 18:00 UK launch slot. That is inference built on EA's Friday pattern, not a date EA has set. Do not pre build SBC squads from a promo that has no official name yet, because the requirements will not match.
Should you prep for FC 27 Season 3 now?
Only if you want a base Hall of FUT item before the cutoff. The twelve names change nothing you can act on today, because no card has a rating, position or release method. Do four things and skip the rest.
- Hold 84 to 86 fodder until the first real Season 3 SBC posts its cost.
- Spend remaining Gallery tokens on base Hall of FUT items you actually want before Season 2 closes on 3 December.
- Skip pre built SBC solutions written from the leaked names.
- Watch the in game banner on 4 December, then read the live requirements screen before you commit anything.
Fodder usually dips just before a new season as players liquidate clubs, then jumps the moment the first SBC posts its requirements. The 84 to 86 band is worth holding through the 3 December turnover rather than dumping at the low, because the historic player promo will almost certainly ask for that range on day one.
If you already own a base card you like, nothing here forces a decision. Wait for the reveal, because EA sets the real list, the real ratings and the real date.
FC 27 Season 3 is EA confirmed from 3 December 2026, but the twelve leaked names and the 4 December promo are unconfirmed, so hold fodder and tokens and wait for the live panel.
