Just last month I told you about NBA 2K26's Breakout Gauntlet, a mode that challenges you to use all the players on your MyTeam. EA Sports FC 26 has a Gauntlet mode as well, designed for the same purpose. If you only know how to use a couple of the athletes on your team, you won't survive this.
The first Ultimate Gauntlet has three rounds that require you to use a different squad for every match, including your bench. The more matches you win, the better the rewards you'll walk away with. You can keep playing no matter what results you get, but again the rewards are better for winning.
This mode, like its NBA 2K26 counterpart, is all about knowing how to use your entire roster. It's the kind of mode that can make you a much better player if you allow it to. Here's the first set of objectives:
- Play 3: Play three matches in the Ultimate Gauntlet. Earn a 75+ rare gold player pack.
- Win 1: Win one match in a round of the Ultimate Gauntlet. Earn a 78+ x3 players pack.
- Win 2: Win two matches in a round of the Ultimate Gauntlet. Earn the Whipped Pass+ Evolution.
- Perfect Round: Win all matches in a round of Ultimate Gauntlet. Earn 84-rated Kudus and a Cornerstones Evolution.
- Win 3: Win three matches in the Ultimate Gauntlet. Earn an 82+ x2 players pack.
- Win 5: Win five matches in the Ultimate Gauntlet. Earn an Attacking Wingback++ Evolution.
- Win 6: Win six matches in the Ultimate Gauntlet. Earn an 84+ x2 players pack.
