It's all over for FC 26 Joga Bonito – but the samba-focussed promo still has some fine cards to grab off the transfer market. Three debuting EA FC 26 heroes landed in the shape of Pablo Aimar, Ricardo Quaresma, and Louisa Necib, alongside some big boosts for contemporary stars. See them all by scrolling down for the final FC 26 Joga Bonito cards list.

FC 26 Joga Bonito Team 1 dropped on Friday, December 5, with 5 Star Skill Moves for every player. Unlike the FC 26 FC Pro Live Tracker, its cards aren’t upgradeable – but there are still a delicious confection of tasty items to chase. Among them are the three Heroes mentioned above, alongside David Ginola (LM, Ligue 1, 90) and Maicon (RB, Serie A, 89). Aitana Bonmati and Cole Palmer are two of the elite modern additions, while Vitinha’s new card (CM, Paris SG, 91) was selling for 1.5 million coins as of mid-December. Nice work, if you managed to pack it.

There was never any hint of a Joga Bonito Team 2 release date, and indeed the promo came to a close after a single week. Still, December was a busy month for FC 26 promos, including the always-mammoth FC 26 Winter Wildcards. If you need a break from FUT after that manic festive period, leap over to our FC 26 career mode guide.

The first FC 26 Joga Bonito SBC lived up to the samba promise. It was for ballet-toed West Ham and Brazil ace Lucas Paqueta, who gets a new 87 rating in exchange for submitting five Squad Building Challenges. The list of them is below, and the last two aren’t a typo – they’re identical. The set cost around 314,000 coins as of Saturday, December 6. Alas, it's now expired. Doh!
