EA FC 25 Road to the Knockouts promo – Leaks & everything we know

As a seasoned FIFA Ultimate Team player with over a decade of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a rush of nostalgia every time Road to the Knockouts rolls around. This promo has been a staple in the game for years, and it always brings a fresh wave of excitement as we gear up for the real-life football season.

On September 20th, EA Football Club’s 25th edition (EA FC 25) is set to arrive, and it seems like leaks are pointing towards the inaugural promotion of the season being titled “Road to the Knockout Rounds.”

In Ultimate Team, you get a chance to assemble your ideal team with top-tier global players. Special promotions keep the gameplay exciting by introducing unique special cards, many of which are brand new. However, some classic cards make a comeback annually, like Road to the Knockouts

So, here’s everything you need to know about EA FC 25 Road to the Knockouts.

When is FC 25 RTTK?

At present, there’s no officially announced launch date for the Road to the Knockout promo in EA FC 25, but we anticipate its arrival on September 27, 2024, which is a Friday. This prediction stems from leaker ‘FUT Sheriff’ disclosing the card designs, implying that it could possibly be the first event accessible to all players

In Electronic Arts’ FIFA 24, the Nike “Just Do It” promotion launched simultaneously with the start of early access, and the Road to the Knockout tournament followed the next week on the game’s global release day. Considering this pattern, we anticipate the developers will likely adhere to a similar schedule for this year as well

EA FC 25 Road to the Knockouts explained

Live items called “Road to the Knockouts” cards gain rating and statistical enhancements depending on a player’s performance in competitions like the Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference League, or Women’s UEFA Champions League

Typically, this situation is based on the player’s team achieving a specific number of victories or advancing to the elimination round. For instance, in FC 24, players had to win two matches during the group stage to get a +1 In-Form upgrade, and another identical enhancement if they progressed beyond the group stage

This year, the Champions League structure has undergone a change, with the group stage being swapped for what is now referred to as the ‘league phase.’ In this novel setup, each team faces eight distinct opponents instead of the home-and-away matches against three teams that were common in past seasons

Given these circumstances, we might need to make some minor adjustments to the RTTK promotion to accommodate the extra matches. However, exactly how the developers choose to handle this situation is still uncertain

While we’re waiting, don’t forget to explore the opportunity to earn rewards prematurely during the FC 24 Pre-Season tournament. Additionally, keep an eye out for the array of licensed leagues and stadiums expected to feature in EA FC 25
