The FIFA 23 Winter Wildcards are here, instead of FUTMAS. We tell you which gifts one of our favorite Christmas promos has brought us this year. Here you will find all the info about the recently released players as well as all the tokens during the swap event. Team 2 is live right now!
The World Cup is over, but we're getting new content almost every single (Fri)day in FIFA 23. This year (as it was last year), the new promo isn't called FUTMAS, instead we're getting back-to-back Winter Wildcards!
Winter Wildcards Release Date
Winter Wildcards can be found in packs since December 23 and will be part of Ultimate Team until January 6. That's right, folks, the event will span two weeks and features a ton of new special cards. We'll have to wait for the Centurions just a little longer...
- You can find the whole year of FUT promos right here: FIFA 23 FUT Calendar
Winter Wildcards: Special Cards, Tokens & Swaps
Winter Wildcards will feature two different special teams, which will both be live for a week each. In addition to the two teams, we will see lots of Squad Building Challenges, Special Packs and also some free-to-play Objective players. Business as usual.
In fact, it's pretty similar to last year's Winter Wildcards promo, where we've seen a lot of different and strong cards. Best thing about the WW promo? Swaps! If you want to check on last year's cards again, you can find them here:
Winter Wildcards Swaps With Tokens And Rewards
Right after the World Cup Swaps run out, we got the Winter Wildcard Swaps. EA Sports releases a total of 30 Tokens, which you can unlock since December 19. You will then be able to submit the tokens into different SBCs to get your preferred rewards.
