The ongoing FIFA 23 Future Stars promo is on its final stretch, so FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) players are naturally asking themselves what’s next on the agenda. While nothing has been confirmed officially, one look at the soccer calendar for 2023 should clear everything up: Europe’s three big international soccer tournaments – Conference League (UECL), Europa League (UEL), and Champions League (UCL) – are about to start their playoffs.

Traditionally, EA Sports accompanies this occasion with a promo dubbed Road to the Final, or RTTF for short. RTTF highlights the teams fighting to reach the finals of these three important tournaments, featuring their players on upgraded FUT cards.

The interesting thing about RTTF is that most of the player items will be dynamic, which means that they can become even stronger over time, depending on how well their teams do on the actual pitch. The closer a team gets to the final of its respective competition, the better the RTTF cards of players from that team will become.

Here’s everything you need to know about FIFA 23 RTTF.

FIFA 23 RTTF: Road to the Final start date

EA Sports has officially confirmed the start date for FIFA 23 RTTF, conforming with the real-life soccer calendar.

This is almost exactly the same date as for FIFA 22, where RTTF began on February 18.
