Performing the Celebration as Cole Palmer

• PlayStation: After scoring with Palmer, simply press X.
• Xbox: After scoring with Palmer, press A.

Performing the Celebration with Other Players

1. Hold down L2 (PlayStation) or LT (Xbox).
2. While holding the button, rotate the Right Stick (RS) clockwise.

Important: Only players with less than 75 Agility can perform the Cole Palmer celebration. If you try this with someone above 75 Agility, the player will instead perform a backflip celebration.

This limitation means that most attackers—who usually have higher agility stats—won’t be able to do it.

Do You Need to Unlock the Celebration?

No! Unlike some other iconic moves such as Cristiano Ronaldo’s “Siuu” celebration (Right Here, Right Now in-game), the Cole Palmer celebration is available right from the start. As soon as you buy EA FC 26 and score your first goal, you can use it.

Cole Palmer’s EA FC 26 Ratings

Cole Palmer is rated as one of the top Central Attacking Midfielders (CAMs) in EA FC 26. His stats highlight his attacking abilities but also leave some room for growth:

• Overall Rating: 87
• Pace: 75
• Shooting: 83
• Passing: 87
• Dribbling: 87
• Defense: 50
• Physicality: 65

While his defensive and physical ratings aren’t standout, Palmer shines in creativity, passing, and ball control—perfect for his CAM role.

The History Behind the Celebration

Interestingly, the Cole Palmer celebration wasn’t his original idea. It was first introduced by Morgan Rogers, a fellow Manchester City Academy graduate. Rogers debuted the celebration in December 2023 while playing for Middlesbrough in an EFL Championship match against West Brom.

Palmer, after seeing his friend’s celebration, promised Rogers he would copy it the next time he scored. A week later, he did exactly that when he netted for Chelsea against Luton Town—making the celebration his own and inspiring its inclusion in EA FC 26.

The EA FC 26 Cole Palmer celebration is one of the more unique goal celebrations in the game. While it’s limited to players under 75 Agility, it’s worth trying out—especially if you’re controlling Cole Palmer himself. Combined with his strong stats in EA FC 26, Palmer is both a standout player and a fun one to celebrate with.
