With FUT Birthday, one of the best events of the year will start in FIFA 23 – as always, we can expect a lot of content and some huge boosts. Once again, EA seems to do the event justice, and you can even collect the first tokens right now.

For some days, it's been confirmed that we'll get a bunch of new FUT Birthday Icons that will be released alongside all the other featured players. In this article, we go over all the current leaks for FUT Birthday in FIFA 23.

Which players are coming to Ultimate Team and can be pulled from packs soon?

FIFA 23 FUT Birthday: Most Players Of Team 1 Leaked

Most of the leaks regarding the FUT Birthday special cards come – as they always do – from our trusted source FutSheriff. A bunch of them have been revealed so far, and we expect them to go live with team 1... or with the mini-release on Sunday at the latest.

They could become some of the best and most-used players in FUT:

FUT Birthday Icon Leaks

This year we are also getting Icons for the FUT Birthday promo. The loading screen in FUT already shows this. After the success of the World Cup Icons and the TOTY Icons it's no surprise that these famous players return for a third time this year.

One player has already been released by EA: We will see a new version for George Best.

Additional loading screens have hinted at two other players in this list: Ferenc Puskás and Eric Cantona. We really hope that at least one of them will be released as an Icon SBC... everybody would go nuts!

FutSheriff leaked that we will only see Icons that either got 5 Stars WF or 5 Stars SM (while Jairzinho obviously has 5/5). But we could see a Rivaldo with 5 Stars Skills – which would be great! Sheriff first said he will come as 5/5 as well.

As soon as new leaks drop, we'll update this article. In just a couple of hours, we'll know how many players FutSheriff correctly leaked this time. Until then, you should definitely check out this week's Marquee Matchups SBC and get yourself another FUT Birthday Token!

  • Speaking of birthdays: If you really want to treat yourself, get one of the Xbox Elite Series Controllers . You'll love it for playing FIFA 23 and other games!
