As the EA FC 25 Ultimate Team season kicks off on September 20, 2024, fans are eager to dive into the latest promos and special events that will keep the game exciting throughout the year. Building your dream squad in Ultimate Team is about more than just finding the best players; it's also about taking advantage of the many promos that bring new cards, challenges, and rewards. This guide will take you through the expected promo calendar for EA FC 25, helping you plan and prepare for the events ahead.
What Is the First EA FC 25 Promo?
The first promo in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team is expected to be Road to the Knockouts (RTTK), though this hasn't been officially confirmed by EA. This promo focuses on European competitions like the Champions League and Europa League, featuring unique special cards that upgrade based on player performances in the group stage. In previous years, the season opened with the Ones to Watch event, but this was replaced by RTTK in FC 24. Another early promo last year was the Nike Mad Ready event, exclusive to early access players, so there could be something similar in store for FC 25.
Additionally, players can expect the first batch of Team of the Week cards on the first Wednesday, September 25, 2024. While not classified as a promo, these weekly black cards add more variety to the game by celebrating standout performances from real-life matches.
