The team at EA SPORTS recently did a deep dive around the big changes coming to NHL 26’s Hockey Ultimate Team (HUT).
Scope out the highlights of NHL 26 Hockey Ultimate Team (HUT) below, and catch up on the nitty-gritty via the official blog:
Matchmaking Structure
NHL 26 brings with it Matchmaking Floors, which ensure players will not drop below their earned division within a given season.
Top players, however, will qualify for HUT Champs – the pinnacle of NHL 26 ranked play.
Restructured Rewards
NHL 26 will feature a restructured rewards system.
On that note, every game counts and progression will be more transparent, with better-defined tiers. In addition, exclusive rewards and jerseys are up for grabs.
Maximum Team Building Variety
NHL 26 gives fans even more freedom to create ultimate lineup, giving the innovative new mechanics sure to keep team-building fresh all year long.
One can take advantage of season-specific rules, rotating team captain themes and unique player combinations unlock powerful boosts to OVR, attributes, and salaries.
In addition, NHL 26’s streamlined interface helps make squad management smooth and intuitive. A Salary Cap has also been included, pushing players to be thoughtful about who they add.
HUT Ranked Competitive Matches For Hardcore Players
NHL 26’s Ranked Competitive Matches will give fans the chance to test their skills against the best of the best as they climb the leaderboard.
Along the way, players can build their squad, battle for position, and attain championship glory.
Take the Competition Offline With HUT Cup Chase
NHL 26 gives players the chance to take on the challenge of a full season in offline play, battling the CPU across 18 league games before heading into a two-round playoff.
Those who advance through the bracket will then be able to chase the championship and lift the HUT Cup to unlock exclusive seasonal rewards.
NHL 26’s HUT Cup Chase also removes leaderboards, replacing them with a dedicated rewards track that provides a steady, tangible reward progression.
Explore All New Heroes And Icons Player Cards
Each season, new Heroes and Icons player cards will set out to expand the HUT roster. This, in turn, allows players to take control of the game’s most impactful stars across teams and eras.
