Single Higgs production at FCC-ee probes the Higgs self-coupling at next-to-leading order (NLO). Extracting a bound requires a global analysis accounting for other possible new physics contributions up to NLO. We determine the FCC-ee sensitivity to Higgs self-coupling modifications δκλ within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) framework, including for the first time flavour, LEP, LHC, and FCC-ee observables in a global analysis with all leading NLO effects via one-loop renormalisation group evolution, as well as incorporating finite NLO contributions to electroweak precision and ZH observables. The global sensitivity to δκλ is estimated by marginalising over the effects of all other operators, bringing flavour considerations to the fore. We find that, under reasonable assumptions, FCC-ee sensitivity to δκλ can exceed that of the HL-LHC.
