Here’s everything we know about the FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Promo event, including start and end dates, rewards, ICONs, Team 2 leaks, and more.
FIFA 23 FUT Birthday release date
The FUT Birthday promotion began on Friday, March 24 at 1pm ET / 6pm GMT. It will last two weeks, with mini-releases for Team 1 and Team 2 arriving on Sundays.

The entire FUT Birthday Team 1 squad is as follows:

Objectives and SBCs
During the FUT Birthday campaign, the following players received a unique card:
- Joselu (OVR 88) – OBJ
- Gregore (OVR 85), Daniel Maldini (OVR 85), Jesse Lingard (OVR 86) & Romain Alessandrini (OVR 87) – OBJ

FUT Birthday Icons
In the first-ever release of FUT Birthday Icons, players like Eric Cantona and Jairzinho were included. Cantona got 5-Star ratings for both his Weak Foot Moves and Skill Moves. George Best and Ferenc Puskas were also among the eight Icons released on Friday, March 24.
Icon SBCs have also continued during FUT Birthday, with a special FUT Birthday Rivaldo now available to add to your club.
Twin Upgrades Mini-Release
This time, however, EA has released “Twin Upgrades” for three players, with a total of six new items added to packs. The two versions for each player have the same attributes but either have 5-Star Weak Foot OR 5-Star Skill Moves.
This makes little difference for defenders and midfielders, but there is a significant price difference between the two versions of Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez…
FIFA 23 FUT Birthday Team 2
Release date & time
We anticipate that this promotion will be released on March 31st, exactly one week after the release of the first FUT Birthday Team.
It will be released at 6PM GMT / 1PM ET / 10AM PT, just like the rest of the content in FIFA 23. This is when all new FIFA content is released, and FUT Birthday will be no exception.
Leaks & predictions
So far, there haven’t been many leaks for Team 2 of FUT Birthday, but we expect more as the week progresses. Some of the leaks are rumored to be SBCs/Objectives, but they appear to be coming soon.
Here are all of the leaks we’ve discovered thus far:
- Michail Antonio (West Ham/Jamaica)
- N’Golo Kante (Chelsea/France)
Even with the information we have so far, there is still a lot of room for us to guess. Here’s a list of the players we think will be in FUT Birthday Team 2:
- Alexandre Pato (Orlando Pirates/Brazil)
- Antonio Rudiger (Real Madrid/Germany)
- Ivan Rakitic (Sevilla/Croatia)
