Who Is the Current eFootball Big Time and Is It Worth Your Coins?
By Sir Ayup
Every time Konami opens a new eFootball Big Time box, one legend's name takes over group chats and comment sections within hours. These cards stand apart from regular Epics, because each one is built around a single historic match in the player's career. At gamemarket.gg, we update this page whenever a new Big Time arrives, so you always know who is in the box right now, how many coins it takes and which legends came before. So which Big Time can you chase today?
The Latest Big Time: Thierry Henry in the Arsenal FC Box
The newest Big Time arrives through the Big Time & Epic: Arsenal FC box, released after maintenance on November 12, 2026 and running for about three weeks, until early December. Its headliner is Thierry Henry, who joins eFootball for the very first time.
Henry's card is based on the match on November 16, 2002, when he scored a solo goal against Tottenham Hotspur that started in Arsenal's own half. He starts at 88 and can reach 105 as a CF. The card also comes with a Monumental Celebration, so his celebration from that game can play out again in your matches. The skills Konami highlights are:
- Momentum Dribbling
- Blitz Curler
- Acceleration Burst
Henry is joined by five Epic players from Arsène Wenger's Arsenal:
- Sol Campbell (CB, up to 104): Shadow Hunt and Power Tackle
- Dennis Bergkamp (SS, up to 103): Phenomenal Pass and Magnetic Feet
- David Seaman (GK)
- Emmanuel Petit (CMF)
- Giovanni van Bronckhorst (LB)
The rest of the box is made up of standard players rated 81 to 82 who once played for Arsenal, including Granit Xhaka, Jakub Kiwior, Kieran Tierney and Nicolas Pépé.
How Many Coins Does It Take to Get Henry?
The Arsenal box holds 250 players. A single draw costs 100 coins, and your first 10 draws come at a discount of 500 coins, once only. Because the box is limited, emptying it guarantees Henry, and the full run costs about 24,500 coins if the remaining draws are bought at the regular price.
That figure is the worst case. Henry can drop in your first few draws or sit in the box until the very last one, so the most useful number to plan around is how many coins you are ready to spend if the box runs dry. If Epics are your bigger priority, our current Epic players list shows the coin cost of every Epic box running alongside this one.
What Is an eFootball Big Time Card?
According to Konami, Big Time cards feature exclusive designs inspired by a player's memorable performance in one specific match. The difference from Epic lies in where the moment comes from. An Epic reflects a standout season, while a Big Time captures a single game, which is why every Big Time card shows the date of its match.
Two small details make Big Time feel special. Some Big Time players can perform a Monumental Celebration, the exact celebration from the original match, and commentators may add special remarks when they appear. In terms of player type, a Big Time still counts as an Epic, so training and progression work the same way. For a full comparison with Show Time, Highlight and the other card types, see our eFootball card types guide.
The format has stayed consistent too. A box usually contains one Big Time alongside two to five Epics from the same theme, either one club or one national team, at 100 coins per draw.
Every Big Time Released in 2026
Here is every Big Time box this year, newest first. Ratings shown are the maximum after full progression.
- Arsenal FC (November 12 to early December): Thierry Henry (CF, 105), with Epics Bergkamp, Campbell, Seaman, Petit and van Bronckhorst
- National All-Stars (September 17 to October 8): Alessandro Del Piero (CF, 103), with Epics Gareth Bale, George Best, Edwin van der Sar, Carles Puyol and Tomáš Rosický
- Living Legends (July 27 to August 10): Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo together, the only box this year with two Big Times, covered in our World Festival guide

- France 1998 (July 9 to 16): Marcel Desailly (CB, 102), with Epics Patrick Vieira and Lilian Thuram
- Germany 2014 (July 2 to 9): Philipp Lahm (RB, 102), with Epics Miroslav Klose and Mario Götze
- Brazil 2002 (June 25 to July 2): Ronaldinho Gaúcho (AMF, 102), with Epics Kaká and Cafu

- Manchester United (January 15 to 22): George Best (RWF, 104), with Epics Peter Schmeichel and Bryan Robson
Between June and July, Konami released five World Cup winner boxes in a row, from Italy 2006 to Spain 2010. Club-themed boxes like Manchester United and Arsenal come around far less often, which makes Henry's arrival a bigger moment for Arsenal fans.
Is Big Time Henry Worth It?
It comes down to the gap in your squad and the size of your coin balance.
- Worth chasing if you need a fast CF who can carry the ball himself and curl shots from outside the box, since all three of Henry's skills point to exactly that style
- Bergkamp and Campbell add real value if you plan to empty the box anyway, covering the second striker role and the back line
- Worth skipping if your front line already has an Epic or Big Time striker, because 24,500 coins can cover several Epic boxes that fix other positions
Henry only reaches 105 after full training, so factor in his Progression Points with our training programs guide. If you are still working out where he fits, our squad building guide explains how formations and roles shape which striker suits your team.
The Arsenal box stays open until early December, so there is time to save up before you decide. When Konami releases the next Big Time, we will replace the latest section above and move Henry into the history list.
