FUT Birthday will be making a return to Ultimate Team in EA FC 24, but with a slightly different name. Here's what to potentially expect from the EA FC 24 Ultimate Birthday promo.
We've had a week of no new promos in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team packs following the conclusion of the FC Fantasy promo, with a Showdown SBC Series being released instead alongside a Campaign re-release. But, fear not, because EA Sports has now revealed the next promo that will be coming to UT, EA FC 24 Ultimate Birthday.
Ultimate Birthday is the FUT Birthday promo returning with a new name following the split between EA and FIFA after FIFA 23. Celebrating the anniversary of the Ultimate Team game mode, the EA FC 24 Ultimate Birthday promo gives five-star skill moves and weak foot upgrades to players, and it's always been a favourite in the UT community.
EA FC 24 Ultimate Birthday start date
EA Sports has confirmed the Ultimate Birthday promo will be coming to Ultimate Team, with the promo expected to begin on Friday, March 15, and based on past editions of the FUT Birthday promo, we expect it to last two weeks before exiting UT on Friday, March 29.
EA FC 24 Ultimate Birthday leaks
No big leaks have been made as of yet regarding the Ultimate Birthday promo, though leakers @Fut_Scoreboard, @AsyFutTrader and @WetDesignFUT came together to reveal three card designs for Ultimate Birthday – the regular design, the Ultimate Birthday Icon design, and the Ultimate Birthday Evolution design.
Why Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's six week delay is a good thing
The regular and Icon card designs have been confirmed by EA Sports, with a new Ultimate Team loading screen confirming the promo.
EA FC 24 Ultimate Birthday predictions
In FIFA 23, we received a FUT Birthday Team 1 and Team 2 release, with both including a twin mini-release, that saw a small batch of players receive two FUT Birthday cards – one with five-star skill moves, and one with five-star weak foot. Once again, we expect that the promo will feature the same skill move and weak foot upgrades.
These are some players we predict could be included in the EA FC 24 Ultimate Birthday promo. Remember, these are just predictions and are purely based on players we would like to see included in the promo.
- ST: Samuel Eto'o (Ultimate Birthday Icon) - five-star skill moves
- RB: Carlos Alberto (Ultimate Birthday Icon) - five-star skill moves
- CM: Camille Abily (Ultimate Birthday Icon) - five-star weak foot
- CAM: Socrates (Ultimate Birthday Icon) - five-star skill moves
- CM: Bastian Schweinsteiger (Ultimate Birthday Icon) - five-star skill moves
- CB: Sol Campbell (Ultimate Birthday Icon) - five-star weak foot
- CB: Mapi Leon (Barcelona Women) - five-star weak foot
- CM: Federico Valverde (Real Madrid) - five-star skill moves
- LM: Guro Reiten (Chelsea Women) - five-star weak foot
- CAM: Martin Odegaard (Arsenal) - five-star weak foot
- ST: Randal Kolo Muani (Paris Saint-Germain) - five-star skill moves
- LW: Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund) - five-star weak moves
- CDM: Wataru Endo (Liverpool) - five-star skill moves
- CB: Nathan Ake (Manchester City) - five-star weak foot
- CAM: Mason Mount (Manchester United) - five-star skill moves
As well as the two squads and the mini-releases, expect to see a bunch of other Ultimate Birthday players released as SBCs and Objectives, while we also know based on the leaks that we will be getting some Ultimate Birthday Evolutions, hopefully with five-star skill move and weak foot upgrades. We could also see an Ultimate Birthday Cup begin like we received during the FC Fantasy promo, so keep an eye out!
