How to Unlock and Perform The Worm Celebration in EA FC 26
Goal scoring in EA FC 26 is satisfying, but the real victory comes from celebrating in the most annoying way possible. Whether it’s the Dab, the Griddy, or the classics from older FIFA titles, trolling your opponent is practically part of the Football Ultimate Team experience. One of the funniest additions is The Worm — a celebration that sends your player squirming across the pitch like a human inchworm.
If you’ve seen it online and want to perform it yourself, here’s everything you need to know.
⚽ How to Unlock The Worm Celebration in FC 26
The Worm wasn’t freely available to everyone. It was tied to a Season 1 objective, meaning you had only one window to secure it.
To unlock The Worm, players needed to complete:
Season 1 “Celebration Time” objective
Found inside the Champions Cosmetic Excellence group
Required winning 26 matches in Champions Finals before the season ended
This was a tough grind because Weekend League matches are limited, and missing even a week could cost you the entire celebration. Season 1 is now officially over, so:
The Worm cannot be unlocked anymore
EA has not re-released it in any form
It won’t appear in the Transfer Market
There is no button combo to use it unless you already earned it
If you missed it, there is currently no way to obtain it — similar to how the Griddy was locked behind FC 25 preseason rewards.
🎮 How to Equip and Perform The Worm in FC 26
If you did unlock The Worm during Season 1, here’s how to use it in-game.
Step 1: Equip the Celebration
Go to:
Club Menu
Stadium
Celebrations
Set The Worm as your default equipped celebration.
Step 2: Perform The Worm During a Match
After scoring a goal:
PlayStation: Press Circle
Xbox: Press B
Some celebrations have unique button inputs, but The Worm is one of the special ones that must be equipped first — otherwise it won’t activate.
🧠 Final Thoughts
The Worm is easily one of the most entertaining and petty celebrations in FC 26, but its limited availability means only a portion of the player base will ever get to use it. Unless EA decides to bring back past seasonal cosmetics, this celebration will remain exclusive to the dedicated grinders who completed Season 1’s demanding objectives.
