eFootball 2026 v5.0.0 is launching mid-August 2025: What can we expect from this new season

by

In just under a month’s time, the much-anticipated eFootball 2026 will be upon us, and it’s been confirmed that the v5.0.0 update is scheduled for release in mid-August 2025. While there may be a few days when we can’t enjoy our favorite game due to maintenance, the exciting new features promised are likely to make the wait worthwhile. Here’s what you can expect from the eFootball 2026 v5.0.0 update.

eFootball 2026 v5.0.0 update: List of things we can expect

Before jumping into the expectations, let us see what are the things that are arriving.

New Feature: Link-Up Play

It seems like this feature reminds you of the Team Spirit from the PES games, but I find it more comparable to the ‘Chemistry’ aspect in the EA FC series. To clarify, this appears to be a new manager ability that allows for a unique combination of players on the team, boosting their performance within the game.

In the game, both participants need to fulfill specific requirements to activate this feature. This, in turn, broadens the manager selection possibilities, since the compatibility of the players working together will significantly impact the outcome.

New Feature: Treasure Link

Introducing a fresh element to the game: it’s not tied to matches, but rather a novel method for earning rewards. As you advance in the game, this system increases your reward accumulation. Essentially, you could think of it as an upgraded version of your achievement screen from the 2026 edition.

If you look closely, this is a bingo game. Finishing a line in any direction (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) will unlock additional special prizes. Completing the entire bingo board could lead to even larger rewards!

This feature adds an extra layer of excitement because players can connect their treasures through a system. They can exchange treasure links after engaging in battles, or they can distribute unique rewards. The more fights you have, the more benefits you receive.

The Borrusia Dortmund Experience

Following KONAMI’s confirmation that the FC Bayern München license would conclude on June 30, 2025, speculation about Borussia Dortmund re-entering the game grew stronger. Indeed, the company has now verified this rumor as well.

They’ve officially unveiled the stadium, the players, and some special offers that are coming out, and even though it’s not until July 24, 2025, we can think of this as part of the upcoming season.

What else to expect

At present, the creators haven’t shared any details about gameplay changes. However, it’s said that the upcoming update will introduce a fresh pack opening animation. As for Master League, there’s a lot of speculation among players, but it seems unlikely that it will be included in the next update.
