FIFA 23 Ultimate Team is set to be another year of promos and special cards to help players build the squad of their dreams, but which is next on the schedule? We’ve put together a FIFA 23 promo calendar to help you keep track.
With the FIFA 23 Ultimate Team season set to begin very soon, players are already plotting out their squads and how they’re going to make use of the game’s custom tactics and new Chemistry system.
While cramming your team full of high-rated gold cards is a solid way to start, pretty soon special cards are needed to take those squads to the next level. Luckily, there are plenty of FIFA 23 promos on the cards to make sure there’s never a dull moment in this season’s Ultimate Team.
We’ve put together a FIFA 23 promo calendar featuring all of the special cards and events we’re excepting to see, when they could arrive, and which is next up on the schedule.
Which FUT promo is next in FIFA 23?
EA have confirmed that FIFA 23 will kick off with the Ones to Watch promo, beginning on September 30, the same day as the game’s final release date. This event will bring in special cards for those who moved clubs during the summer transfer window and are expected to make a major impact.
These live FUT items will increase in rating throughout the year to match that player’s highest-rated Team of the Week, opening the door for some huge upgrades as the season unfolds.
FIFA 23 promo schedule
EA SPORTS never outlines a complete line-up of promos that will feature in Ultimate Team, instead opting to surprise players with an announcement just days before each one begins.
That being said, there are a number of staples that show up every year and at a similar time. For example, Ones to Watch usually opens the FUT season, and FUT Birthday is a fan-favorite event that falls around March.
The devs also like to throw in some new events every year that players have never seen before. FIFA 22 conjured up the likes of Fantasy FUT and Versus, but we don’t expect many of them to make a return in FIFA 23.
With all this in mind, here are the expected dates for every FIFA 23 promo:
