Although EA never released the promo schedule to the community, there are certain events that they bring back every year without fail, such as Team of the Season and Future Stars. We expect these to return in EA FC 25 once again.

The devs also like to throw new special card campaigns into the mix as well, but these won’t be announced until a day or two before they are due to begin, so they’re almost impossible to predict ahead of time.

EA FC 24 also saw the debut of a number of well-received promos, such as Thunderstruck and Golazo, so these could also return for a second year.

However, it’s worth keeping in mind that this calendar is a prediction based on last year and the events we know are popular with the community. There’s every chance that they could shake up the formula this time by scrapping old special cards, adding new ones, or releasing them at different points of the season.

What is the next EA FC 25 promo?

The next EA FC 25 promo is yet to be officially announced. However, leaks have revealed that it could be Trailblazers, a returning event from FC 24 that rewards the players who have started the season well with new PlayStyles.

Beyond that, dataminers have also discovered card designs for Ultimate Dynasties, another campaign from last year that focuses on family members who play for different clubs.

What are promos in EA FC 25?

Promos are special Ultimate Team events that bring special versions of different players that you can add to your team. Most of the time, these cards are released into packs and replace that player’s regular card for the duration of the promo.

This means that as long as a player has a promo card in packs, you’ll be unable to get their Bronze, Silver, or Gold item, so you might see their price increase on the Transfer Market.

Each one also usually brings a selection of Squad Building Challenges and Objectives to complete, which reward you with valuable packs or special cards that can’t be obtained any other way. You can also expect themed Evolutions to upgrade your existing players.

When are new promos released in Ultimate Team?

New EA FC 25 promos are released on Fridays at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM BST. At this point, all of the new items are released into packs and the old cards are removed.

However, you should know that new events don’t arrive every single week. Some promos run for multiple weeks and have more than one team of players, and sometimes the devs like to leave a week free if they’re gearing up for a big campaign like TOTY.

New content also arrives in the middle of the promo as well, whether it’s a new handful of new cards added to packs or a fresh set of Objectives and SBCs. If you’re someone who likes to see and do everything, it’s worth logging in at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM BST every day to see what’s on offer.

We’ll be keeping this page updated with all the latest announcements and leaks, so be sure to check back here to find out what the next EA FC 25 promo will be.
