Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Codes: Active and Expired (June 2026)
Last checked May 28, 2026 (UTC)
Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes codes are a different beast: EA and Capital Games drop them around anniversaries and Star Wars Day, then often delete them within hours. So timing is everything, and I keep this list current as they come and go.
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes codes are the alphanumeric strings EA posts on the official @EAStarWars and @CapitalGames accounts, usually deleted soon after for free Crystals, Energy refills, Lightspeed Tokens, Character Shards, and Gear pieces. Crystals are the premium currency for energy refills, gear, and shard shop buys. Lightspeed Tokens fast-track the Galactic Legends grind. Character Shards star up your roster directly, which is the longest progression loop in the whole game.
Quick tip. honestly, spend your code Crystals on Cantina or Light Side energy refills during a character farming event, not on random gear. Refills convert straight into the shards you're after, while gear purchases are a coin flip on whether you get the piece you actually need.
Expect them on Star Wars Day (May 4), the late-November anniversary, big film and series tie-ins, and EA livestreams. A lot of the time they're only live for a few hours before EA pulls them. You redeem on the official EA SWGOH store page or in game through Settings, and they're case sensitive and short-lived.
- EA tweets and deletes codes. They're often live for only a few hours, so redeem the second you see one.
- You redeem on the official EA SWGOH store page or in game through Settings.
- Most expire within hours to a few days.
- Each Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes code is single use per account.
- They're case sensitive, so use the Copy button to avoid typos.
Active Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes codes (1)
There's no persistent code live as of this update. EA drops SWGOH codes on Star Wars Day and during livestreams, then usually deletes them within hours. Follow @EAStarWars and @CapitalGames so you catch the next one in time.
| Code | Reward |
|---|---|
| Watch @EAStarWars Expires soon | Codes drop and delete quickly. No persistent active code at the time of writing |
When a code does drop, the Copy button next to it works exactly like the expired set below. Redeem inside the hour, because EA pulls them fast.
Expired Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes codes
Skip these. The May the 4th code closed the day after Star Wars Day, which is just how EA does it.
| Code | Reward | Expired |
|---|---|---|
| MAYTHE4TH26 | Crystals and Lightspeed Tokens | May 5, 2026 |
| GALAXY9YEARS | Anniversary Crystal bundle | November 26, 2025 |
| ANDORS2 | Character Shards tie in | April 18, 2026 |
How to redeem Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes codes
You've got two ways in. The official EA store page is the main route, and the in-game Settings menu has a Redeem Code option as a backup.
On the official EA SWGOH store
- Open store.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/redeem in any browser.
- Log in with the EA account linked to your SWGOH roster.
- Paste the code exactly as shown, it's case sensitive.
- Click Redeem, and the rewards land in your in-game inbox within a few minutes.
In game (Settings > Redeem Code)
- Open SWGOH and tap the Settings gear icon in the top left of the cantina screen.
- Scroll down to the Redeem Code button.
- Enter the code exactly as shown, it's case sensitive.
- Tap Confirm, and the rewards drop into your inbox.
Since EA deletes codes so fast, the in-game redemption sometimes lags behind the store page. If the in-game field rejects a fresh code, try the store page, which usually validates quicker.
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes codes FAQ
Why does EA delete SWGOH codes so fast?
EA uses them as live engagement bait during streams and Star Wars Day. Deleting them within hours rewards the people watching in real time and keeps the codes from spreading forever. It makes SWGOH one of the toughest games to catch codes for, so turning on @EAStarWars notifications is basically essential.
When is the best time to watch for SWGOH codes?
Three windows. Star Wars Day (May 4) reliably ships one. The late-November anniversary always has one. And EA developer livestreams (roughly quarterly) drop codes mid-stream. Set notifications for @EAStarWars and @CapitalGames around those dates.
Are Lightspeed Tokens worth more than Crystals?
If you're chasing Galactic Legends, yes. Lightspeed Tokens skip specific requirements in the GL unlock journey, which is the hardest gate in the game. Crystals are more flexible, but for endgame players the Tokens save weeks of targeted farming.
Do Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes codes work on both EA and Google or Apple logins?
Yes, as long as your roster is linked to an EA account. Store redemption needs the EA login, so guest or platform-only accounts have to link to EA first through the in-game Settings.
How long do inbox rewards stay claimable?
Seven days. Open your in-game inbox during your next session and claim everything before the timer runs out.
Why can I never find any active codes most of the time?
Because SWGOH genuinely has long dry spells. Unlike HoYoverse games that ship codes every patch, EA only drops them a handful of times a year. If nothing's listed as active, there usually isn't one, so just wait for the next event window.
