FC 26 Icons list - confirmed Icons and latest leaks

Who are the confirmed FC 26 Icons? The annual EA FC cycle has ticked round, and with it comes a new cohort of legendary soccer superstars who've earned immortalization through their dominance of the beautiful game.

With the FC 26 release date on the horizon, EA has already confirmed new and returning faces for this year's instalment of the best soccer game series. Last year's inductees included phenoms like Gareth Bale and Nadine Angerer, and it already looks like FC 26 won't disappoint. Read on to find out who you'll be able to ball out with in your weekend league games this season.

Here are the confirmed FC 26 Icons so far:

Here's a quick primer on each of the FC 26 Icons, just in case you've been living under a rock:

Ronaldo

Pace, strength, dribbling, finishing, football IQ, and skill - what didn't Ronaldo have? Quite possibly the most complete player world soccer has ever produced, R9's 6ft frame packed more sauce than a Heinz factory. Ronaldo didn't dribble into space; he dribbled looking for his next victim to skin.

Incredibly, O Fenômeno never won the Champions League despite stints at Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, and AC Milan. We're sure he won't be losing too much sleep over it, though, what with the two World Cup trophies he snapped up with Brazil sitting pretty in his cabinet.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Soccer's most imperious aura farmer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic produced moments of pure magic that seemed impossible for his towering stature - we'll never be mad about that bicycle kick he scored against England.

Zlatan struck the ball as if it owed him money, bagging over 400 goals at senior club level, and racking up trophies like they were participation medals with both Milanese outfits, Ajax, Barca, and PSG. The Swede's longevity extends far beyond his impressive two-decade-long career; Zlatan is eternal.

And those are the FC 26 Icons that have been revealed so far, alongside the latest leaks that could yet materialize. If you want to get ahead of the curve in Ultimate Team, then make sure you get your FC 26 pre-order in by the end of August to snag an untradeable Icon. You will have to cough up the cash for the Ultimate Edition, though. We also have the FC 26 system requirements if you're planning to play at launch.
