The EA FC 24 Ultimate Birthday Team 1 squad has been revealed by EA Sports, and it might be the best promo squad we've seen in 15 years of Ultimate Team.
After a week of Showdown Series content, which featured re-released promo items in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team packs, EA Sports has now revealed a stacked EA FC 24 Ultimate Birthday squad, much earlier than usual. Celebrating the 15th anniversary of Ultimate Team, the Ultimate Birthday squad awards players with boosted cards that possess either five-star weak foot or five-star skill moves.
And, the EA FC 24 Ultimate Birthday Team 1 squad features some of the best players we've seen so far, including a 94-rated Lionel Messi with five-star skill moves and a five-star weak foot. Not only does Messi feature, but huge names from Al Ittihad, Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and many more are also included in the squad.
EA FC 24 Ultimate Birthday Team 1 squad revealed
Despite the EA FC 24 Ultimate Birthday Team 1 squad being revealed a few hours early, it doesn't mean the promo is being released in packs early, with the Ultimate Birthday squad release time still being set for 6pm GMT / 1pm EST / 10am PST later today.. Team 1 will be available for a week before exiting packs for Team 2 at 6pm GMT / 1pm EST / 10am PST on Friday, March 22.
EA FC 24 Ultimate Birthday Team 1 squad in full
Here's the confirmed EA FC 24 Ultimate Birthday squad in full, including details of players receiving a five-star weak foot or five-star skill moves upgrade. Some of the players on the list are named twice, and this is because two versions of the player will be released, one with each of the five-star upgrades.

As always, more players are set to be released over the next week, so keep an eye out on SBCs, Objectives and Evolutions, with Ultimate Birthday leaks revealing that there will be an Ultimate Birthday-themed Evo during the promo. EA also confirmed Ultimate Birthday Icons ahead of the promo, but none are included in Team 1, meaning Icons may be released at a later date.
