Showdown Series In FIFA 23: SBCs And Upgrades

The focus is on top matches that can take place in different leagues and competitions. One player represents his club and gets an upgrade if they win. If a match ends in a tie, both players get upgraded. Various SBCs will be added throughout the next week in FUT, so it's like a bet: you only want to complete players whose team has the higher chance of winning.

Showdown SBC Upgrades Explained:

  • Win: +2 OVR upgrade for the winner
  • Draw: +1 OVR upgrade for both SBC players
