Here are some of the things you'll get to be a part of!

EXCLUSIVE FOUNDER REWARDS

As a Founder, you’ll be recognized with a custom load-in animation commemorating your Founder Status. That is amazing! You'll also receive a personal Founder Badge that will stay with your account throughout EA SPORTS FC 24 and beyond.

FOUNDER BADGE

You must open Ultimate Team before 1 November 2023, in order to receive a Founder Badge for your club.

FOUNDER EVOLUTIONS

Earning Founder Status opens the door to an extraordinary opportunity: the chance to enhance a player in your club through an exclusive Founder Evolution. This captivating journey not only elevates their rating and attributes but also transforms them into an exceptional Founder Player—entirely unique to your club and exclusively available to Founders.

To initiate your Founder Evolution, venture into the 'My Packs' section within the Ultimate Team Store. There, you'll discover the coveted 'Founder Pack,' housing a consumable item that kickstarts this exclusive evolution. The process is straightforward—simply open the pack, use the item, and unlock a brand-new Founder Evolution.

Navigate to the 'Evolutions' tab in your Ultimate Team menu to embark on the Founder Evolution journey. Here, you'll select a player who fits the Evolution criteria and embark on a quest to fulfill objectives that will enhance them into a one-of-a-kind Founder Player Item.

But that's not all. This is just the initial Founder Evolution Reward, marking the commencement of EA SPORTS FC 24. As Founders, you'll be entitled to additional Evolution upgrades, exclusively tailored to your status and distributed during key moments throughout the year. These extra Founder Evolutions grant you the power to continuously improve your unique Founders Player Item. I love this so much!

FOUNDER KITS

As a Founder, you’ll receive your exclusive Founder Kits when you load up Ultimate Team for the first time!

FOUNDER STADIUM VANITY

To further rep your Founder Status, Founders will receive Founder Stadium Vanity to decorate your stadium when they first load into Ultimate Team.

FOUNDER XP OBJECTIVES

As Founders in EA SPORTS FC 24, you're in for a unique treat. During Season 1, as well as in selected Seasons to come, Founders will enjoy access to exclusive XP Objectives linked to their Founder Kits. These objectives are your key to unlocking additional XP points that contribute directly to your seasonal progression.

To seize the full potential of your Founder Rewards throughout the season, be on the lookout for specific Objectives. These Objectives will prompt you to equip one of the exclusive Founder Kits and play matches while wearing it. By doing so, you'll gain privileged access to bonus XP that propels you further in your journey towards seasonal excellence.
