FUT Birthday: Here’s the List of Incoming Players and the Release Date

One of the most exciting events in EA Sports FC 25 Ultimate Team for years has been the FUT Birthday promotion, which always gives players a significant boost to upgrade their Skill Move and Weak Foot ratings.

Now, with the upcoming promotion, the first details have already started to emerge. These are coming from some of the most popular FC 25 X (formerly Twitter) accounts, such as FUT Sheriff and FIFATradingRomania, both of which have confirmed that FUT Birthday is just around the corner and, as usual, it promises plenty of surprises.

Players Arriving in the 2025 FUT Birthday Event

Although the list below is far from complete, it’s important to note that, based on past experience, EA is expected to release new players gradually throughout the promotion week.

Therefore, don’t be surprised if the initial launch doesn’t include all the names. Some players might be held back temporarily—perhaps for an SBC (Squad Building Challenge)—but they are very likely to appear soon afterward.

Incoming Heroes and Icons

  • Ronaldinho (Icon) – Brazil
  • Patrick Vieira (Icon) – France
  • Ramires (Hero) – Brazil
  • Claudio Marchisio (Hero) – Italy
  • Emmanuel Petit (Icon) – France
  • Jay-Jay Okocha (Hero) – Nigeria
  • Marco Van Basten (Icon) – Netherlands

Incoming Modern Players

  • Erling Haaland – Manchester City
  • Cristiano Ronaldo – Al-Nassr (Flashback SBC)
  • Kai Havertz – Arsenal
  • Ethan Mbappe – Lille

When Does the 2025 EA Sports FC 25 FUT Birthday Start?

We can answer this question without relying on leaks, as EA Sports has officially confirmed that this year’s FUT Birthday will kick off on Friday, March 7 at around 7:00 PM local time.

As many may remember, in FC 24, EA ran a two-week event as part of FUT Birthday, which featured two different card teams. While it’s currently unclear whether the team will follow the same format this year, one thing is certain: there will be no shortage of surprises!
