FC 27 Season Pass: How to Earn Season Points Fast Before Season 1 Ends
Every level of the FC 27 Season 1 Pass costs 1,000 Season Points (SP), the track has 30 levels (30,000 SP in total), and Season 1: Ones to Watch ends on 22 October 2026. That leaves roughly two and a half weeks from today, 4 October, to finish the pass, so what matters is where your SP comes from, not how many matches you grind.
Cost per level: 1,000 SP, so Level 15 needs 15,000 SP and Level 30 needs 30,000 SP.
Season window: 17 September to 22 October 2026 (the pass ends at 06:59 UTC on 22 October).
Premium Pass: same SP total, but it returns 2,500 SP at Level 11 and again at Level 25.
Match play cap: 15 to 100 SP per eligible match, up to 850 SP a day.
Where the SP comes from
The pass is fed by five modes at once, so Ultimate Team is only one of the routes. These are the values reported by FUT.GG's testing in early October; EA can change payouts, so check the objectives tab in the game before you commit time.
| Mode | What you do | SP | Refresh |
|---|---|---|---|
| Player Career | Complete 10 Match Objectives | 1,250 | Weekly |
| Manager Career | Play 5 full matches on one save | 1,200 | Weekly |
| Manager Live | Complete 3 Manager Live Challenges | 1,000 | Weekly |
| The Grounds | Weekly set of minigames | 1,000 | Weekly |
| Ultimate Team | Weekly Objectives | 500 | Weekly |
| Ultimate Team | Seasonal Objectives (play 12, score 16) | 500 | Weekly |
| Ultimate Team | Foundations group | 1,050 | One-off |
| Ultimate Team | Match play | Up to 850 a day | Daily |
| Ultimate Team | Daily Objectives (play 1, score 2) | 30 a day | Daily |
| The Grounds | Daily set | 100 a day | Daily |
The Grounds only exists on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2, so PS4 and Xbox One players lose those two rows. One early guide also reported that some Grounds objectives paid Grounds Coins instead of SP, so check the value in your own objectives tab first.
The fastest order to do it in
Rank SP sources by minutes, not by size. Ultimate Team matches cost the most time per point, so they go last.
Player Career Match Objectives: 1,250 SP in roughly four to five games, played on highlights.
Manager Live Challenges: 1,000 SP for three challenges. Transfer Savvy, Winning Start and Top at Christmas are the short ones, about 25 minutes combined according to FUT.GG.
Manager Career: 1,200 SP for five full matches. Beginner difficulty and 3-minute halves keep it to around 30 to 40 minutes, and losses count.
Ultimate Team Foundations and Weekly Objectives: these overlap with the Live Event games you would play anyway.
The Grounds weeklies, if your platform has the mode. Kickabouts and In-World Rush need other players, so they take longer than the SP suggests.
Ultimate Team matches up to the daily cap, after everything above is done.
How many levels can you realistically reach?
FUT.GG adds up a full first week at 13,360 SP, which is Level 13, but that assumes you hit the 850 SP match cap every single day. That cap takes around 13 Rivals wins or 17 Squad Battles wins a day, so most players will not get there. Without The Grounds, the same week is 11,660 SP.
The honest takeaway: a casual player will land somewhere around Level 15 to 20 by 22 October, and a full clear needs real daily commitment. I would treat Level 15 (15,000 SP) as the realistic target. It pays out the Ones to Watch Lee Kang In item and a 7x 82+ Gold Players Pack on the Standard track, with an extra 81+ Gold Player Pack and cosmetics on Premium.
This is my own estimate, built from the published SP values above, not a figure from EA.
Is the Premium Pass worth it for speed?
Premium does not move you up the track directly, because both tracks share one SP total. Its only speed boost is 2,500 SP back at Level 11 and again at Level 25, which is five levels in total. Buy it for the extra rewards, not to save time. Check the current price in the in-game store, as I did not verify it.
Skip the grind
If you would rather spend your hours on Rivals than on Career Mode objectives, you can put your time into the squad directly. Browse the FC 27 coins marketplace for coins, or the EA FC accounts marketplace if you want a ready club. Buying anything in the game may go against EA's terms, so read our how to buy guide and our post on whether buying FC 27 coins is safe before you decide.
