Today’s eFootball Thursday update on October 1, 2026, marks the official rollout of the v6.1.0 patch for eFootball 2027 across mobile and console platforms, following the conclusion of Konami’s scheduled weekly maintenance. The update brings a fresh maintenance cycle and a host of new campaign rewards for players. Core highlights include free Epic and ShowTime rewards, with login bonuses and guaranteed entry packs featuring top-tier cards to celebrate the v6.1.0 drop. Brand new Dream Team events, AI tour events, and online challenges have also refreshed for the week, with the competitive community leaning into the recently added Custom Tournament and Overload playstyle meta mechanics introduced in the broader v6 cycle.
The October 1 update has refreshed the store with highly anticipated national-themed packs and continuation rewards. The special “Eric Cantona Signing Spree” enters Week 3, allowing players to log in and claim up to 50 free Chance Deals dedicated to unlocking this Epic card. This limited-time opportunity gives fans of the legendary French forward a chance to add him to their squad without spending in-game currency. The previous Power Tackler Epic Pack and European Selection packs have expired, making way for the new offerings.
A new Weekly Pack featuring the Player of the Week National Pack is now available, showcasing an 11-player selection of top international talent. Dani Olmo of Spain headlines the pack, rated up to 101 AMF with specialized dribbling and speed boosts, reflecting his meteoric rise in world football. Michael Olise of France follows at up to 103 RWF, while João Félix of Portugal is rated up to 101 AMF and features the Super Sub trait, making him a valuable asset for late-game impact. These national-themed packs add a fresh layer of excitement for players looking to strengthen their squads with in-form stars.
Additionally, a Special ShowTime Selection Contract is now available through the freshly unlocked tiers of the International Match Campaign. Unlike typical luck-based boxes, this contract gives players a direct choice to claim one guaranteed player from three featured ShowTime options, ensuring that everyone who completes the campaign receives a valuable addition to their team. With the v6.1.0 update live and new rewards rolling out, eFootball players have plenty to look forward to as they build their Dream Teams and compete in the refreshed weekly events.
