EA continues to delight FC Mobile 26 fans—right during the current The World’s Game Event, they announced the next mini-event. Called Record Holders, it’s entirely dedicated to the players who have etched their names in the history of world football. The most impressive records, legendary achievements—and all of this is tied to World Cups.

Record Holders release date and schedule
The official daily login calendar has already revealed the date: June 18, 2026. Like most FC Mobile “minus” events, the event will last for about two weeks. It will include a special mini-pass for those who want to claim additional rewards.
The main players and legends of the Record Holders event
According to insider @Sappurit, the Record Holders event will feature the familiar structure—Drafts mechanics once again. The main roles will apparently be played by two great World Cup-winning strikers: Gerd Müller and Jairzinho. The developers promise “immersion into key moments of their World Cup careers” through minigames and scenarios inspired by real tournament paths.
Free rewards and gameplay guide for Record Holders
The daily routine will likely remain the same: complete matches and skill challenges, accumulate tokens, and then spend them on leveling up icons. Depending on the chosen branch, you can get 114 OVR, 116 OVR, and even 118 OVR. And yes, if Sappurit’s data is correct, 118 OVR will be completely free, usually for completing the event. No donations.
Quite a nice bonus for a mini-event. Considering that The World’s Game Event hasn’t ended yet, players will only have a couple of weeks to get up to speed—and then a new wave of rewards will arrive. It’s worth logging in for June 18th to avoid missing the start.
How to save resources and avoid errors in Record Holders?
Record Holders has launched—a dynamic mini-event in FC Mobile with a strict deadline of just 14 days. Such short-term events are tricky. In practice, millions of coins and valuable resources are wasted by gamers not because of hardcore matches, but because of stupid tactical miscalculations. Event after event, players make the same mistakes, depriving themselves of top rewards. We’ve compiled a list of the main fails that ruin Record Holders progression and explained how to avoid them.
The Right Strategy for Spending Record Holders Tokens
Perhaps the most painful mistake is to start spending accumulated tokens on cheap packs or small prizes in the first few days of the event, acting blindly. Experience from previous events like Record Breakers has clearly shown that those who mindlessly bought up small gems ended up losing out in the finals. They simply didn’t have enough Rank Up points to reach the top content. The strategy here is simple: clench your fist and save up. Until you’ve accurately calculated the maximum number of tokens you can realistically earn in these 14 days, it’s best not to even touch the “Spend” button. Only the math will tell you whether you can reach the 118 OVR card without donating or whether you’ll have to adjust your spending habits.
What difficulty level should I choose for Daily Challenges?
In the Drafts and Daily Challenges sections, the developers traditionally offer players a choice of two difficulty levels. Choosing the “easy” route out of habit is fatal for the F2P community. The hardcore route consistently yields 1.5-1.8 times more tokens per closed session. Over the course of two weeks, this difference becomes critical. It determines whether you’ll end up with a modest 114 OVR or a massive 118 OVR. By choosing easy matches, you’re effectively cutting into your potential progress. If you’re feeling adventurous, always go for Difficult.
Farm tokens through daily training in Daily Skill Games
Short Skill Games are the most effective and fastest way to farm tokens in FC Mobile mini-events. One such activity takes 2-3 minutes at most, while a full match will take a good 8-10 minutes of your real life with a virtually identical final reward. Ignoring them is a real crime. Remember that missing even one day means you permanently lose your limit. The game offers no compensation or opportunities to catch up later.
How to properly assemble Müller and Jairzinho shards
Shards in Record Holders are a fickle resource; they can’t be taken and converted into anything. They are tightly tied to specific Legends’ branches. If you don’t decide from day one who exactly your lineup needs (for example, Müller or Jairzinho) and start farming everything in sight, expect trouble. You’ll likely accumulate a ton of unnecessary junk, and 2-3 days before the event ends, you’ll run into a severe shortage of the necessary shards. Decide right away which branch you’ll go with.
Record Holders Event Pass Activation Deadlines
The developers will release a separate mini-pass specifically for Record Holders, offering additional loot. There’s a time limit: if you decide to activate the premium track only 4-5 days after the launch, you’ll miss out on significant benefits. Your initial daily bonuses will expire and cannot be activated retroactively. Reward progression is strictly tied to the date of purchase, so you must purchase the pass within the first 24-48 hours.

EA FC Mobile June 2026 Update Patch Notes
EA Sports has finally released the long-awaited June 2026 update for FC Mobile. Players have been complaining for the past few weeks about two things: goalkeepers who were missing everything, and dribbling that wasn’t working properly. The developers have listened. The patch is already rolling out worldwide, but you’ll have to download it manually—the automatic update won’t work.
Goalkeeper bug fixes and dribbling balance in the patch
The situation was frustrating. After implementing PlayStyles, attacks became too fast and fluid—defenders couldn’t keep up, and goalkeepers looked confused in PvP matches. This was especially true in one-on-one situations. Dribbling was also a problem: if you weren’t running down the flank at speed, but were trying to beat a player in the center with fine control, the mechanics were noticeably slow. In tight spaces, the ball was constantly being lost.
The new patch aims to balance the situation. It’s expected to make the game fairer in all areas of the field—from your own penalty area to the opponent’s. Incidentally, this directly affects the current The World’s Game event: the competitive mode there requires responsive controls and stable goalkeeping. So the update came just in time.
Instructions for manually installing the update on Android and iOS
The update is approximately 44 MB in size and is being rolled out gradually. Don’t be surprised if your friend already has the button, but you don’t.
