The arrival of the Season 8 Premium Pass in FC 25 Ultimate Team brings an exciting new batch of rewards, upgrades, and exclusive content. With 35 levels to climb and dozens of pack offers, player items, and powerful upgrades, the real question on every player’s mind is: Is it worth your coins or FC Points? In this detailed guide, we’ll walk you through every reward tier, highlight the standout players, and break down whether the value justifies the investment.

Whether you're chasing Rafael Leão's insane 5-star, 5-star striker card or aiming for the premium Kaka Icon reward, there's a lot to unpack. As always, the Premium Pass costs 500,000 coins or 1,000 FC Points, mirroring the previous season. With so many decisions to make including player selections, tradable vs untradable packs, and playstyle-enhanced cards let’s explore what this season has in store.

Top Tier Rewards: Leão vs Kaka – A Tempting Final Choice

At the summit of Season 8’s pass lies a tough but rewarding choice. The free track culminates in an electrifying Raphael Leão card, boasting 5-star skills, 5-star weak foot, and four PlayStyle+ abilities. He's a dynamic striker with versatility to play CAM, RM, and RW, making him an elite addition to any Serie A or Portugal squad. Whether you're using him as a finisher or a wide creator, he brings top-tier explosiveness and flair to the pitch.

The Premium track, however, gives you a mouthwatering decision between a tradable 3x 91+ player pack or an exclusive Icon Kaka card. Kaka, upgraded with five PlayStyle+ traits including Finesse Shot and Incisive Pass, can play LW, RW, ST, and RM. He offers world-class versatility and is tailor-made for fast, technical gameplay. If you’re building a Brazil hybrid or simply want an unstoppable attacker, this Kaka is one of the best Season Pass rewards yet.

Level 1-5: Strong Start with Alexis Sanchez or Pedro

The first reward tier kicks things off strong. You can choose between a boosted Alexis Sanchez, a dynamic winger with Finesse Shot+, Technical+, and 5-star weak foot—or Pedro, a highly flexible LB with the ability to also play RB, LM, and LW. Both players are gifted with multiple PlayStyle+ upgrades and great versatility, fitting into most squads easily.

Alternatively, if you're less interested in players, there's a tradable 83x7 pack, giving you early value if you're aiming to build SBC fodder or take your chances on promo cards. Follow-up levels offer an 82x3, 82x5, 84x4, and 82x7—a solid mix of early pack rewards. You’ll also pick up cosmetics for Pro Clubs, such as tattoos, kits, and badges, adding to the fun without affecting your Ultimate Team grind.

Level 6-10: El Shaarawy, Grifo & Evolutionary Potential

Around level 6, you’ll be faced with another juicy selection. Choose between El Shaarawy (5-star skills, RW/ST), Grifo (LB/CDM with Dead Ball+ and Quick Step+), or a big pack like the 83x10. All players feature 4+ PlayStyle upgrades, with the free track offering depth across multiple roles. El Shaarawy, with Tiki Taka+ and Finesse Shot+, is especially dangerous in meta formations.

The Premium track around this tier gets spicier. It includes cards like Tomori, a versatile CDM with incisive distribution and elite defensive coverage, and Lamordad, a creative CAM with stellar distribution (Pinged+ and Technical+). There's also your first Evolutions unlock and an 83+ Player Pick—key features for FUT players wanting to upgrade older favorites using new evolution paths.

Level 11-15: Bonaventura, Immobile, Bellotti & More

One of the most exciting reward choices comes at this stage: Bonaventura, Immobile, or Bellotti. Each player has stacked stats and incredible PlayStyle combinations. Bonaventura excels as a winger with finesse and rapidity, Immobile brings defensive strength despite being naturally offensive, and Bellotti offers pure CDM power with all defensive PlayStyle+ perks. Only one can be chosen, which adds some strategic tension.

In terms of value, it's hard to recommend the tradable 84x5 pack over these players unless you're hoarding fodder. The Premium track here introduces Douglas Luiz, Yancuto, and Samuel Lino, all with 4-5 star upgrades and elite PlayStyle builds. Luiz leans defensive, while Lino and Yancuto are finesse-oriented wide threats. Expect all three to cause problems in Weekend League lineups.

Levels 16-20: Pro Clubs Perks and Unique Cards

These levels are more about collecting extra cosmetics and Pro Clubs enhancements—like gloves, balls, banners, and Tifos—but there are also solid packs and evolving new players. Jack Grealish and Lisa Lehman are both available here as dual rewards, featuring four PlayStyle+ each and 5-star weak foot. Both have versatile positions, making them budget-friendly meta picks.

While the tradable 83x5 and 84x4 don’t feel as exciting compared to player picks, the Pro Clubs bonuses offer a small touch for fans of that mode. Whether or not you value these cosmetics depends on your interest outside Ultimate Team, but they add some variety regardless. A Euro-themed promo reward also teases new Path to Glory content, setting up the mid-season excitement.

Levels 21-25: Euro Promos & Arsenal Legends?

Things heat up again with a new Euro-themed reward section. You’ll find players like Granit Xhaka, Jorginho, and Zubimendi—all midfield maestros with enhanced PlayStyle+ traits and premium stats. Arsenal fans will appreciate this tier especially, but their usefulness goes beyond club loyalties. Jorginho is a playmaker CAM/Striker, while Xhaka turns into a surprisingly agile LB/CB hybrid.

Zubimendi is another excellent addition with Technical+, Quick Step+, and Low Driven+, making him a killer CAM or wide playmaker. These picks all shine in possession-based builds and are fun for FUT managers looking to diversify their squads. There’s also an 86x2 pack, but it’s hard to recommend taking that over these standout footballers.

Levels 26-30: Goalkeepers? Strikers? Or Both?

Around level 26, a unique trio of goalkeeper-style outfield players emerges. Cards like Oblak (CB), Maignan (CM/CDM), and Kobel (ST/RW) flip the FUT script. Kobel in particular is a 6'5 striker with insane pace, agility, and finesse shooting—likely to become a fan-favorite troll card in Weekend League.

You also get access to Loftus-Cheek, Maitland-Niles, Connor Gallagher, and Eric Dier around level 30. Each is a 5-star skill or weak foot monster, playing in flexible roles from defense to attack. Gallagher, in particular, stands out with great pace, balance, and meta PlayStyle+. Dier, meanwhile, is a 99 shooting tank. It’s another one-of-three choice that gives real value to the pass.

Final Levels & Verdict: Tonali, Calafiori & the Grand Finale

As you hit the final stretch, you’re rewarded with even bigger player picks. Tonali and Calafiori headline this group with 5-star weak foot and all-around dominant traits. Calafiori is a striker/CAM with insane shooting and rapid movement, while Tonali can be molded into a versatile winger or midfield controller. These cards bring Serie A flair and maximum customization potential.

The final few levels provide high-value packs like 10x 84+, 3x 90+, and a 1-of-4 90+ pick. The Premium Pass also grants additional evolution items, draft tokens, and vanity badges for your profile. The journey is long, but if you’re willing to commit and grind, the Season 8 Premium Pass offers more premium content than ever before.

Is the FC 24 Season 8 Premium Pass Worth It?

So, is it worth dropping 500k coins or 1,000 FC Points on the Season 8 Premium Pass? If you're a dedicated player who enjoys grinding objectives, unlocking top-tier players, and evolving your squad with custom upgrades, this pass delivers massive value. The mix of tradable packs, insane 5-star/5-star players, and Euro promo content is more than enough to justify the investment.

Casual players may find some of the grind too lengthy, but the pass has something for everyone. Between Raphael Leão, Icon Kaka, and the absurdly strong supporting cast, Season 8 might be the best yet. With new promos and evolution content hitting hard, this is the ideal time to power up your Ultimate Team and get ahead before FC 25 drops later this year.
