EA SPORTS FC 27 introduces the Hall of FUT — a brand-new Ultimate Team Player Item type built to honour the cult heroes who shaped 18 years of FUT culture, not just the megastar ICONs. EA has confirmed the inaugural five-player class, and with the game's global release set for 25 September 2026, this is the collectible everyone is asking about right now. Here's exactly what the FC 27 Hall of FUT is, who's in it, and the realistic ways you'll add these legends to your club.

Quick answer: what is the FC 27 Hall of FUT?
The Hall of FUT is a new Player Item type in EA SPORTS FC 27 Ultimate Team that celebrates footballers who "helped define FUT culture" — community favourites remembered for a specific card or a specific era rather than trophy cabinets. EA has confirmed an inaugural class of five players: Adebayo Akinfenwa, Marouane Fellaini, Loïc Rémy, Eljero Elia, and Giovani Dos Santos. Right now the only confirmed way to grab one is the Hall of FUT (1 of 5) Player Pick bundled with the Ultimate Plus Edition, but EA says "additional inductees and ways to add these players to your squad" will be detailed closer to launch. Treat any "full roster and ratings" list circulating online as leaks until EA confirms it.
The 5 confirmed FC 27 Hall of FUT legends
EA revealed the inaugural class alongside the FC 27 editions on 23 July 2026. Each pick leans on a real Ultimate Team memory — the card or the stat line the community actually remembers.
| Player | Nation | Remembered for | Signature FUT stat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adebayo Akinfenwa | England | "Beast" — pure physical dominance | Physicality maxed at 99 (Hero + end-of-career SBC) |
| Marouane Fellaini | Belgium | Box-to-box afro, aerial menace | High-physicality Rulebreakers item with surprise pace |
| Loïc Rémy | France | Early-FUT pace and Ligue 1/French links | Gold Rare + Moments SBC built on acceleration |
| Eljero Elia | Netherlands | Wing pace and flair on a budget | Gold item with Pace at or above 90 |
| Giovani Dos Santos | Mexico | Barcelona "wonderkid" of his era | 92 potential in classic Career Mode saves |
In EA's own words, Akinfenwa is "a man known by one word: Beast" — and EA confirmed two of his past items had Physicality pinned at the 99 ceiling. Fellaini's card is confirmed to keep his signature afro; Rémy, Elia and Dos Santos round out a class built around pace and personality rather than 99-rated meta. EA has not published Hall of FUT ratings, positions, or PlayStyles for FC 27 yet, so anyone quoting exact numbers is guessing.
How do you get FC 27 Hall of FUT players?
This is the part most guides get wrong, so let's be precise about what's confirmed versus what's coming.
1. The Ultimate Plus Player Pick (the only confirmed direct route — and the window has likely closed). The Ultimate Plus Edition includes a Hall of FUT (1 of 5) Player Pick, letting you choose one of the five inaugural legends outright. The catch: Ultimate Plus was an early-bird pre-order edition sold during the 23 July – 31 August 2026 window, priced at $149.99, with no upgrade path from the standard Ultimate Edition. If you didn't lock it in before 31 August, you almost certainly can't buy the pick anymore — which is exactly why the "how do I get these later?" question is trending.
2. The Gallery Token Store (a confirmed FUT feature, expect Hall of FUT items here). FC 27's new FUT Gallery system introduces Gallery Tokens you earn by completing Sets, which you spend in a Gallery Token Store that EA has confirmed stocks kits, badges, and Hall of FUT historical items. This is the most likely long-term home for these legends outside the pre-order pick — and it rewards consistent play and a healthy coin balance.
3. SBCs, Objectives and packs (expected, details closer to launch). EA explicitly said acquisition methods will expand near release. Based on how Heroes and ICON-style content have always worked, expect Squad Building Challenges and Objectives to be a route. FC 27's streamlined SBCs submit items by score with duplicates allowed, so fodder and coins — not perfect squad OVR — will decide how fast you complete them.
The honest takeaway: unless you already own Ultimate Plus, your path to a Hall of FUT legend runs through the Gallery Token grind and coin-funded SBCs. That's slow if you're starting from zero — which is where a healthy coin balance changes everything.
Why the Hall of FUT matters more than another ICON drop
ICONs celebrate the all-time greats. The Hall of FUT is different — it's EA leaning into nostalgia and community identity. As EA put it: "it wasn't always about the biggest names, the unlikely heroes that the community discovered also defined FUT culture." That framing matters for three reasons:
- Collectibility over meta. These items feed the new FUT Gallery Sets and boost your Gallery Level and Set Grades, so they're valuable even if the ratings aren't 90+.
- Holographic potential. FC 27 adds Holographic Player Items (Regular animated foil and rarer Pristine versions) that contribute more to Set score. If Hall of FUT items get holographic variants, chasers will want them.
- Recurring content. With EA promising "additional inductees," the Hall of FUT looks like a season-long program, not a one-off — the kind of content that keeps a mode alive between promos.
Community reaction has been loud: a Hall of FUT thread on r/EASportsFC climbed toward 200 upvotes and roughly 150 comments within a day, with players split between "finally, my old favourites" and "just give me the ratings." Expect the ratings debate to dominate the days right before the early access start on 18 September 2026.

FC 27 launch timeline (so you know when to act)
Hall of FUT hunting starts the moment Ultimate Team opens, so anchor these dates:
- Web App: expected around 16 September 2026 — this is a pattern-based estimate, EA has not confirmed it. The Web App is where you'll set your market up before console play.
- Early access: 18 September 2026, up to 7 days, Ultimate and Ultimate Plus editions only.
- PC unlock: 24 September 2026, 23:00 UTC (which rolls into 25 September for most regions) — never write it as a bare "24 September" release.
- Global release: 25 September 2026, all platforms.
If you own Ultimate Plus, your Hall of FUT Player Pick and your head start both begin on 18 September. Everyone else should treat the 25 September launch as the real starting gun and have coins ready for the Gallery Token economy and opening-week SBCs.
How to be ready to chase Hall of FUT items at launch
You can't buy the confirmed players on the open market yet, but you can put yourself in the best position to grab them the moment routes open:
- Get on the Web App first. Claim your starter content, open loyalty/pre-order packs, and list anything valuable while launch-week prices are at their peak. See our FC 27 Web App day-one checklist.
- Build a coin cushion early. Gallery Token Store items and SBC-based routes both reward players with coins to spend. Our launch-week trading and coin methods and how to get FC 27 coins fast at launch cover the fastest safe starts.
- Learn the new economy. Understand FC 27's streamlined SBCs and the full list of Ultimate Team new features so you're not learning the Gallery on launch day.
- Plan your Evolutions. A Hall of FUT legend can become a starter you evolve — read FC 27 Evolutions and Pathways explained.
- Know what carried over. If you're coming from last year, our what carries over from FC 26 to FC 27 and how to bank Prime Heroes before FC 27 guides get your bankroll and squad ready.
Coins are the common thread. Every confirmed and expected Hall of FUT route — the Gallery Token Store, SBC fodder, launch-week packs — moves faster with a bankroll behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the FC 27 Hall of FUT players? EA has confirmed an inaugural class of five: Adebayo Akinfenwa, Marouane Fellaini, Loïc Rémy, Eljero Elia, and Giovani Dos Santos. EA has said more inductees will be revealed closer to the 25 September 2026 launch, so the class will grow.
How do you get Hall of FUT players in FC 27? The only confirmed direct route is the Hall of FUT (1 of 5) Player Pick in the Ultimate Plus Edition. EA has said additional acquisition methods — expected via the Gallery Token Store, SBCs and packs — will be detailed closer to launch. For most players, that means grinding Gallery Tokens or completing coin-funded SBCs.
Can I still buy Ultimate Plus to get the Hall of FUT Player Pick? Probably not. Ultimate Plus was sold as an early-bird pre-order edition during the 23 July – 31 August 2026 window with no upgrade path, so if you didn't pre-order it before 31 August you'll likely have to wait for EA's other Hall of FUT routes near launch.
What are the Hall of FUT player ratings in FC 27? EA has not officially published FC 27 Hall of FUT ratings, positions, or PlayStyles yet. Any specific numbers you see right now are unconfirmed leaks — wait for EA's reveal closer to launch.
Is the Hall of FUT the same as ICONs? No. ICONs honour the all-time greats, while the Hall of FUT celebrates cult community favourites — players remembered for a specific card or era rather than their trophy count. They're a separate item type tied to the new FUT Gallery.
When can I start collecting Hall of FUT items? Ultimate/Ultimate Plus players get early access from 18 September 2026; everyone else starts at the 25 September 2026 global release (PC unlocks 24 September 2026 at 23:00 UTC). The Web App, expected around 16 September (not EA-confirmed), is your first chance to prep coins.
