The EA FC 25 Ultimate Team season will begin on September 20. To help you plan ahead, we have provided a promo calendar with all the upcoming events and their expected start dates.
In Ultimate Team, the main focus is on creating your ideal team consisting of top players, which includes beloved Heroes and Icons. However, this is only the beginning, as the developers consistently introduce special cards to update the game’s meta and maintain a thrilling experience.
Most of these events have a consistent release date each year, so which promo will be first in FC 25?
What is the First EA FC 25 Promo?
The upcoming promo for EA FC 25 Ultimate Team is anticipated to be Road to the Knockouts, although the developers have yet to make an official announcement. This event will center around European tournaments such as the Champions League and Europa League, granting players special cards that improve based on their performance during the group stage.
Each new promo awards special cards to the world’s best players.
Despite being the first event for many years, Ones to Watch was replaced by RTTK in FC 24. However, the previous season introduced the Nike Mad Ready event, which was only available to those with early access. It is uncertain if the developers have something similar in store for the future.
In addition, you can anticipate the release of a batch of Team of the Week cards on the first Wednesday of September 25. While not considered a promotional event, these black items are released every week, adding even more unique cards to the game.

Despite the schedule never being disclosed beforehand, there are particular Ultimate Team events that occur consistently each year and are expected to make a comeback in FC 25. For instance, promos such as Team of the Year and Team of the Season are always released in January and April respectively.
Nevertheless, there were numerous cards that debuted in the previous season that could potentially be altered, replaced, or eliminated entirely in order to make way for new special cards. EA is known for constantly refreshing the game throughout the season, meaning there will likely be a plethora of new promos that will need to be accommodated for.
While Euro 2024 and Copa America heavily influenced the summer content of FC 24, it’s important to note that these tournaments will not be featured in FC 25. As a result, we can expect the absence to be filled with returning promotions as well as some exciting new additions.
Typically, the next event is only disclosed a few days beforehand on an in-game loading screen, so be sure to stay alert for any updates or announcements.
We will continue to update our EA FC 25 promo calendar on a weekly basis once the season starts, keeping you informed of upcoming events. Be sure to check back here regularly to stay updated on the current schedule.
While you wait, be sure to take a look at the upcoming gameplay updates for FC 25, along with the revamped Division Rivals and tactics system.
