Having the fastest Center Backs (CBs) in EA FC 26 ensures you have a solid defense. This is especially important against strikers with high pace who can easily break past the backline. Strength and positioning are still the core features CBs should have in the game. However, having raw pace can turn a desperate chase into a game-changing interception.

The fastest CBs in the game can quickly cover ground for the squad. They can also be quite flexible when playing a high defensive line. On top of that, they can quickly recover if they make mistakes on the field.

With that said, we’ll list the ten fastest CBs in EA FC 26 and rank them based on their speed and reliability.
