Promotions are constantly introduced to keep the mode exciting, featuring special cards that add a new element to the game. While there are always new additions to look forward to, there are also recurring staples, like the popular Road to the Knockouts promotion.

When is FC 25 RTTK?

The release date for the Road to the Knockout promo in EA FC 25 has not been officially announced yet. However, based on the leaked card designs by ‘FUT Sheriff’, it is anticipated to be available on Friday, September 27, 2024. This could potentially be the first event accessible to all players.

The Nike Mad Ready promotion was launched on the first day of early access for EA FC 24, and the RTTK was released the following week on the global launch day. Based on this timeline, we anticipate the developers will maintain a similar schedule this year.

EA FC 25: Road to the Knockouts Explained

The Road to the Knockouts cards are dynamic items that are updated with higher ratings and improved stats depending on the player’s performance in the Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference League, or Women’s Champions League.

For instance, in FC 24, players were required to win two of their group stage matches in order to receive a +1 In-Form upgrade. Additionally, they would receive the same boost if they successfully advanced out of the group stage.

Nevertheless, the format of the Champions League has undergone changes this season, with the group stage being replaced by the ‘league phase.’ Under this new system, teams will face off against eight different opponents in eight matches, deviating from the previous years’ tradition of playing home and away games against three teams.

Keeping this in mind, the RTTK promotion will need to be adjusted slightly in order to accommodate the extra games. However, it is yet to be determined how the developers will approach this challenge.
