How to Play and Solve SBC in FC 26
This FC 26 guide explains the fundamentals of playing FC 26 and provides a clear, beginner-friendly walkthrough on how to complete Squad Building Challenges (SBCs). Whether you are new to the game or returning from a previous FC title, understanding gameplay basics and SBC mechanics is essential for progressing faster and building a stronger Ultimate Team.
What Are SBCs in FC 26?
Squad Building Challenges are puzzle-style objectives in Ultimate Team where you submit squads that meet specific requirements. These requirements can include player ratings, chemistry levels, leagues, nations, or card types. Once a squad is submitted, the players used are removed from your club permanently.
SBCs reward players with packs, coins, player items, or special promotional cards. They are one of the main ways to earn high-value content without spending coins or points.
Why Should You Complete SBCs?
Completing SBCs is one of the best ways to improve your Ultimate Team without relying solely on packs or the Transfer Market. SBCs offer guaranteed rewards, including special player items, valuable packs, and exclusive content that may not be obtainable elsewhere. They also help you turn unneeded players in your club into useful rewards, making SBCs an efficient way to manage resources, earn coins, and strengthen your squad throughout the FC 26 season.
How to Access SBCs
To start an SBC, enter Ultimate Team and navigate to the SBC section. Challenges are grouped by category, such as Live SBCs, Player SBCs, Upgrade SBCs, and Foundations. Each SBC shows the reward, expiration date, and detailed squad requirements.
How to Solve an SBC Step by Step
Start by reading the requirements carefully. Check the minimum squad rating, chemistry requirement, and any restrictions on leagues, nations, or clubs. Once you understand the conditions, begin building your squad.
Use players already in your club first. This saves coins and prevents unnecessary spending. Sort your club by rating or league to quickly find suitable options. If chemistry is required, link players by nation, league, or club to boost chemistry efficiently.
If you are missing specific players, search the Transfer Market to fill the gaps. Always compare prices and avoid overpaying, especially for SBC fodder that may drop in value later. Once all requirements are met, submit the squad and claim your reward.
Tips for Completing SBCs Efficiently
Do not rush into expensive SBCs. Some challenges are better value than others, especially during promos. Daily and upgrade SBCs are often low-risk and help recycle unused cards. Saving high-rated players for valuable Player SBCs can make a big difference later in the season.
Managing duplicates is also important. When opening packs, use duplicate untradeable players in SBCs immediately to avoid wasting value. Planning ahead and keeping a balanced club makes SBC completion much easier.
