Okay, so I figured out how to get Thierry Henry’s ‘Smirk’ celebration in FC 26! You *have* to add him to your Ultimate Team. Seriously, he’s the only player who can actually do it right now, so if you want that celebration, Henry’s a must-have!

We’re still working on adding Thierry Henry’s signature smirk to other players, and we’ll let you know on this page if we’re able to do so.

It’s unclear whether this will be an SBC reward or something you can buy in the store. Typically, SBC rewards are for players, so that’s likely what will happen.
