Full Online Access for Kick Off Would Transform FC 26 or 27

One of the biggest missed opportunities in FC 26 is the Kick Off mode.

This section already includes almost everything players need:

- licensed cup tournaments

- custom match scenarios

- fantasy match types

- different match combinations

EA has invested heavily in these licenses and modes, but most of them are limited to offline play.

Why not make all of these fully playable online?

For communities like ours, we organize tournaments with around 40 players. Having online access to all Kick Off modes would completely transform the experience.

Imagine being able to play:

- Champions League style cups online

- custom cup brackets with friends

- fantasy match scenarios online

- all special match combinations already available in Kick Off

This would massively improve replayability and player engagement.

Another huge addition would be allowing Career Mode teams to be used in online Kick Off matches through squad data transfer.

This feature would unlock the full potential of the game.

Does anyone else want this?

    Thousands of people want this, because we actually do custom tournaments but we have to use external platforms to manage the fixtures or manually do it. Currently we have tournaments and when it comes to settling certain fixtures it’s a bit weird because there isn’t even extra time and penalties in Online Friendlies. So if we decide to do two legs (to make it fair based on connection and ping) and we do aggregate then if they are tied on aggregate at the end of the second 90 minutes we are stuck in a weird scenario. I think our job is to make posts like this reach lots of people so they can give it a thumbs up then EA will make it happen for sure. Great idea and I actually came to the forum to type something like this but I was looking around first to see if others had it in mind too. That home and away mode would go really hard in Online Friendlies.
