In Madden 26 Ultimate Team (MUT), having a strong lineup doesn’t just depend on your skills—it also depends heavily on how well you manage your Coins. Whether you’re aiming to buy elite players, unlock packs, or dominate the Auction House, you need a consistent stream of income to stay competitive.
After grinding hundreds of hours across past MUT seasons and diving into Madden 26’s updated systems, I’ve compiled the 25 smartest and most efficient ways to make Coins. These strategies are perfect for both beginners and veterans looking to maximize their in-game economy.
1. Complete Daily Objectives
Every day brings a fresh set of tasks—solo challenges, passing yards, head-to-head games, and more. Completing all daily goals earns you Coins and sometimes Coin packs or strategy items.
2. Grind Solo Challenges
Solo challenges are a great way to earn Coins, player items, and packs without facing other players. Prioritize high-yield and limited-time challenges first.
3. Play Field Pass Missions
Field Passes reward you with Coins and packs as you complete specific goals. Some even offer high-value players you can quick sell or auction.
4. Sell Unwanted Players
Not every high OVR player fits your scheme. Sell unused players on the Auction House rather than letting them rot in your binder.
5. Use the Auction House Strategically
Buy low, sell high. Target underpriced cards (especially during pack-heavy promo times), and flip them for profit after prices stabilize.
6. Snipe Cards During Market Dips
Watch the market during peak pack opening windows (like new promos or weekend events). Sniping cards for cheap and relisting them can earn big profits.
7. Flip Training Points
If you notice a Training reroll set giving out valuable items, you can buy cheap players, convert them to Training, reroll, and sell the outcome for profit.
8. Master Set Completion and Selling
Promo sets like “Team of the Week” or “Legends” can be broken down. Sometimes it’s cheaper to complete the set and sell the player for more than the sum of parts.
9. Do House Rules Events
House Rules often offer Coin rewards, NAT (non-auctionable/tradeable) players, and packs. Even if you don’t want the player, quick-sell for Coins or Training.
10. Participate in Weekend League (MUT Champs)
The higher you rank, the more Coins and packs you earn. It’s a grind, but if you’re skilled, it’s one of the best coin sources.
11. Take Advantage of Solo Battles
Solo Battles reset weekly and reward Coins based on your performance. Aim for MVP or higher to maximize gains.
12. Track Limited-Time Promotions
During MUT promos like Zero Chill, Most Feared, or Team Diamonds, specific sets or events can be extremely profitable if you’re early.
13. Sell Strategy Items
Rare strategy items can go for tens of thousands of Coins. Sell duplicates or unwanted ones instead of hoarding them.
14. Use Objectives Tied to Programs
Each program usually includes objective chains. Completing them not only rewards XP and packs but often gives Coin bonuses.
15. Quick-Sell NAT Players for Training, Then Convert
Some programs offer NAT players you don’t need. Quick-sell for Training and reroll into sets that give auctionable items.
16. Buy Bundles with Training (If F2P, Farm Instead)
If you’re F2P, use your time instead of money. But if you do invest in Training with Coins, reroll smartly based on the current promo meta.
17. Avoid Unnecessary Upgrades Early
Don’t waste Coins upgrading your team constantly. Be patient, wait for stable market prices, and only invest in core pieces early.
18. Follow the Community Market Trends
Watch forums like Reddit’s r/MaddenUltimateTeam or YouTube creators who track market trends. This helps you react to price shifts early.
19. Quick-Sell Low-Value Packs
Sometimes Coin or Training values are better than what’s in the pack. Learn when to open and when to quick-sell unopened packs.
20. Farm Gold and Silver Players
Silver and low-Gold players used in sets (especially theme team sets or upgrades) can sell for surprising amounts. Check their Auction values before quick-selling.
21. Utilize Sets to Create Power-Ups or Upgrades
Some low-tier players can be upgraded or used in sets for more valuable items. Farm these sets and sell the final item.
22. Grind the Competitive Field Pass
This reward track offers packs, player items, and a lot of Coins if you consistently place well in H2H Seasons or Champs.
23. Claim Weekly Rewards (e.g., MCS Tokens, Twitch Drops)
Watch MUT Championship streams or link your Twitch account for free drops. These sometimes include high-value cards or packs.
24. Convert Pack Trash into Value
Gold and Silver players can be exchanged into higher-tier sets. Even low-tier players have set value during promo events—don’t discard them too quickly.
25. Be Patient with the Market
Many players panic sell when a promo drops. Wait a day or two after the hype settles, and you’ll often sell for a higher price.
Making Coins in Madden 26 Ultimate Team is as much about discipline and market awareness as it is about time investment. While it’s tempting to spend every Coin right away, the most successful players build wealth through careful planning, timing, and smart flipping. Stick with these strategies, adapt with each promo, and you’ll have the Coins you need to build a top-tier MUT roster—without paying a dime.
