Which FUT promo is next in FIFA 22?
Following the release of the FIFA 22 Pre-Season event, there will be no more new promos in this year’s game. FIFA 23 is set to arrive on September 30, so EA are beginning to wind down support as they prepare for the Ultimate Team new season to kick-off
This means the next promo will be FIFA 23 Ones to Watch, celebrating the biggest transfers of the summer by handing out upgradeable special cards. Unfortunately, though, FIFA 22 players will have to purchase the new game to join in on the action.
FIFA 22 promo schedule
EA SPORTS never confirm an exact schedule of which promos will feature and when, but there are plenty of staples that return year upon year that are almost guaranteed to show up.
Iconic FUT events like Team of the Year, Road to the Final, Headliners, FUTMAS (now dubbed “Winter Wildcards”), Future Stars, and more are sure to arrive in FIFA 22 around the same time as usual, loaded with stunning special cards.
Here are the expected dates for FIFA 22’s promos.
