By Alfie Carrington••2 min read
The international football fever has officially taken over Ultimate Team as we dive deep into the 2026 FIFA World Cup season. To celebrate the pinnacle of the sport, EA has released the latest installment of the daily puzzle series: the Path To Glory Challenge 3. This limited-time challenge provides a straightforward path to obtaining high-value items as players across the globe gear up for the opening matches in North America.
Understanding the Path To Glory Challenge 3
This specific Squad Building Challenge is part of the broader Festival of Football campaign. Unlike the heavy-hitting player items like Ferran Torres or Cody Gakpo, these 'Challenge' SBCs are designed to be budget-friendly ways to refresh your club's inventory. Completion of this single-squad task earns you a Mega Pack, which is widely considered one of the most balanced packs in the game due to its mix of 30 gold items and high rare count.

- Fodder Generation: Excellent for replenishing your supply of rare gold cards and consumables.

Real-Life Connection: The 2026 World Cup Kickoff
The release of this SBC coincides with the buildup to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, hosted across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. This historic 48-team tournament is the inspiration behind the Path To Glory promo. As real-life results come in, the PTG cards in your club will receive upgrades based on their national team’s success. Keeping an eye on favorites like Argentina or rising contenders like Morocco is essential for anyone holding live PTG items found in these rewards.
