EA Sports has opened a limited-time UFC 6 promotion that gives players free Conor McGregor and Max Holloway throwback skins. The window runs from July 7 through July 20, 2026, and the items are added automatically after a player launches the game.
The giveaway starts July 7 at 1 p.m. ET and does not require a purchase, a challenge, or an Ultimate Team step. That is the practical detail here: one login during the window is enough to claim two skins that stay on the account once they are added.
McGregor and Holloway in 2013
The two throwback appearances recreate McGregor and Holloway as they looked when they first met inside the Octagon in 2013. More than a decade later, EA Sports is using that first meeting as the visual reference point for a promotion tied to a rematch that has been framed as long awaited.
For players, the value is simple. The skins are free, but only for a limited window, even though the reward is permanent once claimed. Miss the login period and the account does not get the skins at all.
Three Hall of Fame skins
EA Sports also released three new UFC Hall of Fame Fighter Skins for Dominick Cruz, Amanda Nunes, and Chuck Liddell. Those cosmetics recreate memorable championship moments from each fighter's career, which puts them in the same broad reward category as the McGregor and Holloway items but through a separate set of fighter tributes.
The broader drop follows the game's first major post-launch gameplay update, which added three new fighters, Fight Week content, extensive balancing changes across striking and grappling, and updates to more than 20 gameplay perks. In other words, the promotion is not a one-off skin handout; it sits inside a larger content push that has already changed what EA UFC 6 players can do in the game.
Log in before July 20
The key move for players is to open EA UFC 6 between July 7 and July 20, then let the skins land on the account automatically. That is the entire transaction for the free McGregor and Holloway items, and it is stricter than it looks because the reward is permanent only after the login happens inside the window.
Whether the Hall of Fame Fighter Skins also require any action or cost is not stated, so the only safe reading is the one the promotion makes explicit: log in during the window if you want McGregor and Holloway, or lose the chance altogether.
