eFootball v6.0.0 New Season Campaign: Everything Free to Claim
By Sir Ayup
The eFootball New Season Campaign went live alongside the version 6.0.0 update on August 13, 2026, following extended maintenance the day before, and runs through September 3, 2026. The campaign hub is the season's main source of free rewards, headlined by a new manager carrying the update's new Overload Team Playstyle, plus a set of Chelsea Legends arriving a day after launch. Here's everything confirmed so far and what to prioritize while the campaign is active.
Campaign window
The New Season Campaign is active from August 13 through September 3, 2026. It's accessed through the campaign hub in-game, and progress is separate from the standard daily and weekly missions, so it's worth checking in on its own rather than assuming it's covered by your usual routine.
Free packs: 5 chance deals on the Highlight New Season pack
Players get five free chance deals on the Highlight New Season pack as part of the campaign. Some specifics of the pack's full contents were still being finalized as of Konami's August 12 CONNECT stream, so treat anything beyond the confirmed items below as subject to change once the campaign hub is fully live.
Frank Lampard — the standout free manager
The campaign's headline reward is a new manager, Frank Lampard, who comes equipped with the new Overload Team Playstyle introduced in version 6.0.0. Overload concentrates players toward whichever side of the pitch the ball is on, making it easier to complete short passes and hold possession in crowded areas.
Because Overload is a new system with limited existing manager support, Lampard is likely to be in high demand as one of the few immediate ways to try the playstyle without waiting for future manager releases. If you're planning to experiment with Overload early, prioritizing the campaign steps that unlock him is the practical move.
Chelsea 2016/17 Legends arrive August 14
A day after the campaign opens, Konami is adding a new Special Player List celebrating Chelsea's 2016/17 Premier League title-winning squad. Three Legend players join the game: Diego Costa, Eden Hazard, and Gary Cahill, alongside manager Antonio Conte, who led that title-winning campaign.
An Epic Chelsea pack built around the trio arrives with them, using a new background theme applied to all three cards. Costa and Cahill each come with two Showtime skills, while Hazard carries Momentum Dribbling, Acceleration Burst, and Low Screamer. Showtime playstyles have historically had an outsized impact on the early-season meta, so this pack is worth watching even if you're not actively chasing Chelsea players.
Daily Super Play: what actually changed
The redesigned Daily Game mode, now called Daily Super Play, ties into the campaign period as well. Instead of scoring from penalties as in the old Daily Game, the mode now has players scoring using different players from open play, with new daily challenges and rewards attached. It's a meaningful shift for anyone who used Daily Game as a quick, low-effort way to bank daily rewards, since open-play scoring generally asks more of you than a penalty routine did.
Ambassadors and partnered clubs
Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal remain eFootball's ambassadors for the new season. Konami has also confirmed a wider set of partnered clubs continuing into version 6.0.0, including FC Barcelona, Arsenal, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund, and Galatasaray, among others.
What to prioritize this week
With the campaign running for three weeks, there's no need to rush every reward at once, but two things are worth handling early: claim your five Highlight New Season chance deals as soon as you're able, since free pack rewards like this are typically campaign-limited rather than something you can catch up on later, and check the campaign hub again on August 14 once the Chelsea Legends and Epic pack go live, since that's a separate content drop from the campaign's opening rewards.
If you're adjusting your squad for the new season's tactical changes, our CF meta breakdown and midfield meta breakdown cover how Overload and Fluid Formation affect those positions specifically, and our formation and tactics guide is a good starting point if you're building a system around the new manager options rather than chasing individual cards.
Getting the most out of a content-heavy season like this is easier with the right squad foundation.
