RTTF Release Date
The Road to the Final promo is confirmed to start on Friday, 17 February, at the usual time of 1pm ET / 6pm GMT.
Road to the Final COUNTDOWN

This means it will drop on the same week that European competitions resume with the knockout rounds, with the first matches played on Tuesday, 14 February.
As with last year, we expect the promo to only run for one week, as the first round of games will already have been conducted by the time the event drops.
Latest Loading Screen
The final loading screen before the Road to the Final promo lands in FIFA 23 Ultimate has been revealed!
As usual, it teases three cards that will come to packs during the event, with Youcef Atal, Roberto Firmino and Federico Chiesa looking as the most likely inclusions.
Road to the Final
Road to the Final is an annual event in Ultimate Team, so we know what to expect from it, especially as it will be similar to the Road to the Knockouts promo from earlier in FIFA 23.

Selected players from the teams who have made it to the knockout stages of the Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League will be handed live cards, which will be upgraded depending on how far their team goes in the competition.
Of course, the usual boosted players will be released into Packs and come via SBCs and Objectives, with a total of 30 cards coming during FUT 22!
We expect the upgrade system to follow the same pattern as last year, with players gaining upgrades when their team:
- Won their first knockout game after the campaign launch
- Qualified for the Quarter Finals
- Qualified for the Semi Finals
- Qualified for the Final
- Won the tournament
It should be noted that games that take place before the campaign launch will not be counted towards an upgrade, so that will disqualify all the first legs of knockout matches.

Predictions
Any player from a side that has made it to the knockout stages of the Champions League, Europa League or Europa Conference League could be included in this promo, so that narrows the selection pool somewhat.

- Marc-Andre ter Stegen (OVR 89)
- Reece James (OVR 88)
- Marquinhos (OVR 91)

There could be less progression to ratings coming this time, but with new Traits and increased Weak Foot and Skill Moves instead.
The leaked upgrade path is as follows:
- Win the first knockout game after the campaign launch (UCL) / Qualify for Round of 16: +1 IF Upgrade
- Qualify for the Quarter Finals: +1 IF Upgrade
- Qualify for the Semi Finals: +1 IF Upgrade and Three New Traits
- Qualify for the Final: Gain 5* Weak Foot
- Win the Final: +1 IF Upgrade and 5* Skill Moves
Sheriff has also stated that upgrades will go live at the end of each week of a given stage, meaning we should look out for the following dates:
- Friday, 24 February
- Friday, 17 March
- Friday, 21 April
- Friday, 19 May
- Monday, 12 June

Road to the Final Rewind
The Road to the Final event is set to be bigger than ever in FUT 23, with Fut Sheriff revealing that RTTF Rewind will be a mini-event within the promo.
It is said to be in celebration of European knockout shocks and comebacks, so we could see the likes of Divock Origi or Marcus Rashford included.
Players will gain Flashback cards (presumably via SBC) in recognition of their parts played in some of the great European stories.
