Every year, EA Sports spices up Ultimate Team with themed promotions—and in EA Sports FC 26, the Ultimate Scream event is back with even more chills, thrills, and player-boosting madness. While these packs can usually cost a hefty chunk of coins or FC 26 Coins Points, there are ways to earn them for free, and even grind out unlimited packs if you know the right methods. Whether you're a casual player or a hardcore Ultimate Team grinder, here's the complete guide to making unlimited free Ultimate Scream Packs in FC 26.

What Are Ultimate Scream Packs?

The Ultimate Scream promo celebrates Halloween with eerie player cards that feature temporary or permanent stat boosts, special designs, and new objectives. These cards are typically overpowered for their rating, and Scream Packs are the main way to get them.

In FC 26, the Ultimate Scream event also ties into the Seasonal Field Pass and Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), making it easier to earn themed content without spending real money. If you plan your grind smartly, you can stockpile free packs, high-rated fodder, and even rare Scream players.

Step 1: Grind Seasonal Objectives and Milestones

The first and most consistent way to get free Scream Packs is through the Objectives tab. EA introduces limited-time Halloween-themed objectives during the event, such as:

Score 10 goals with players from Ultimate Scream squads.

Win 5 Rivals matches using 11 Halloween promo players.

Assist in 8 matches using a player from a specific nation.

Each objective typically rewards a Small Scream Pack or Gold Rare Pack, and completing all of them in a set often unlocks a Mega Scream Pack.

To maximize your rewards:

Focus on Rivals and Squad Battles where you can complete multiple objectives at once.

Use loan Scream players from early rewards—they still count.

Complete daily objectives that refresh every 24 hours for bonus XP and Field Pass progress.

If you hit all seasonal milestones, you'll be earning packs every few matches—completely free.

Step 2: Complete Scream-Themed SBCs (Smart Recycling Method)

SBCs (Squad Building Challenges) are one of the best ways to recycle players and get packs infinitely. During Ultimate Scream, EA usually releases repeatable SBCs, such as:

Scream Upgrade SBC – Exchange 11 gold players for a random Scream item.

83+ Player Pick SBC – Get a guaranteed high-rated player.

Trick or Treat Challenge SBCs – Require chemistry-based puzzles but reward tradable packs.

Here's the trick:

Start with untradeable golds from objectives or low-cost packs.

Submit them into the Scream Upgrade SBC.

Open the pack—use duplicates or low-value players to repeat the process.

Sell high-value players to fund future SBC attempts.

By using the club recycling method, you can loop SBCs indefinitely without spending coins—especially if you supplement the process with Bronze Pack Method (explained below).

Step 3: Use the Bronze Pack Method (BPM) to Fund Your Grind

The Bronze Pack Method is a time-tested trick that still works wonders in FC 26. Here's how it ties into making unlimited Scream Packs:

Buy standard Bronze Packs from the store (400 coins each).

Sell valuable bronze players—especially those from popular leagues (Premier League, Bundesliga, etc.).

Keep all untradeable or low-value players to use in upgrade SBCs.

Convert Bronze → Silver → Gold Upgrade SBCs to build higher-tier fodder for Scream SBCs.

It's essentially a coin-neutral method, meaning you keep making coins back from sold players while generating free pack fodder. The more you loop, the more materials you gain to complete unlimited SBCs for free packs.

Step 4: Grind Squad Battles and Rivals for Pack Rewards

While not instant, weekly rewards from Squad Battles, Division Rivals, and Champions Playoffs give you reliable free packs. If you play strategically:

Choose untradeable rewards each week. These give double the packs.

Use those untradeable cards as SBC fodder or in Scream upgrade challenges.

Time your rewards collection so that it aligns with the Scream event release—you'll have a better chance of pulling promo cards.

Even if you only play a few matches per week, this method stacks up over time, helping you consistently earn Scream Packs without touching your coin balance.

Step 5: Take Advantage of Squad Foundations and Field Pass Rewards

During Ultimate Scream, EA adds Seasonal Foundations, Field Pass XP bonuses, and Storyline player objectives. These systems grant tons of free packs if you stay active.

Focus on:

Completing daily and weekly objectives for XP.

Reaching Field Pass milestones (every level usually has a pack reward).

Completing Foundations for untradeable 83–87 rated players—perfect SBC fodder.

Once your club is stacked, you can rinse these players in repeatable SBCs and get more Ultimate Scream Packs in return.

Step 6: Exploit Limited-Time Marquee Matchups and Event SBCs

Every Thursday, Marquee Matchups refresh—these are perfect for grinding. During the Ultimate Scream promo, EA often drops Halloween-themed Marquee SBCs that offer Prime Mixed Player Packs, Electrum Packs, and even Premium Gold Player Packs.

Complete these weekly, using your upgrade fodder and untradeable duplicates. With careful rotation, you'll never run out of materials.

Bonus Tip: Log In Daily During the Event

EA often runs daily login rewards and mini-objectives that give Scream Packs just for signing in. These are sometimes stackable, meaning logging in for 7 days straight could net you a guaranteed Scream player pack or Rare Mega Pack.

Even if you can't play every day, make sure to hop in, open your rewards, and bank them for the next SBC cycle.

Final Thoughts

While many players spend real money chasing the best Ultimate Scream cards, grinders know the secret—with clever recycling, consistent play, and smart SBC strategies, you can make unlimited free Ultimate Scream Packs in buy FC 26 Coins.

Between Objectives, SBC loops, and Bronze Pack profits, you can sustain your club entirely through effort and strategy. By the time the event ends, you'll not only have a stacked squad but also enough high-rated players to dominate every game mode—without spending a single FC Point.
