eFootball starts its 2026 new season campaign

The eFootball new season campaign runs through September 3 at 01:59 UTC with Manchester United and FC Barcelona players among its rewards. Frank Lampard is available through the Campaign Hub with high proficiency in the new Overload team playstyle.

eFootball: confirmed details

Advancing 36 Campaign Hub spaces awards Lampard, four Highlight: New Season selection contracts, tokens, 150 coins, experience and GP. A separate login present grants another selection contract, while cumulative logins add coins and development items. Campaign objectives expand in rounds on August 20 and August 27.

What changes for players

The Hub rewards active PvP or versus-AI matches, so Exhibition, Training and Skill Up sessions do not move the board. Lampard gives the campaign a fixed tactical reward beyond random contracts, and staggered objective rounds prevent every task from being completed on the opening day.

Timing and wider context

Event periods use UTC and refresh at 02:00 UTC. Konami can change details, so players should confirm eligible modes before grinding. The campaign celebrates the seasonal reset but does not replace the underlying Dream Team progression system.

The feature list and timing above reflect the developer’s announcement published on August 14, 2026. Future hotfixes can adjust balance or availability, so live values should be checked against the current client.
