FIFA 23 Ultimate Team SBCs: Foundation challenges LEAKED ahead of release

FIFA 23 hasn't even launched yet, but thanks to various leaks, we already have an idea of some of the Squad Building Challenges we will be faced with at the start of Ultimate Team.

So, check out all the SBCs including their costs and how to complete them right here.

Squad Building Challenges

An SBC - or Squad Building Challenge - is one of the playable game modes within Ultimate Team.

You are tasked with building teams using players from your club, but with specific requirements.

This may be a cap on how many leagues or nations you can use, how much team chemistry you have to hit, the specific rarity of cards, and more.

By completing these challenges and trading in the cards used, you get rewarded with packs, player picks, and other items to help you progress through the FIFA 23 Ultimate Team campaign.

Foundation SBCs

Foundation SBCs are challenges designed to teach players how the game mode works, and are split into Basic and Advanced sets.

Get these done early and they will not only help you understand how SBCs work, but also give you a handy boost early doors.

The Foundation SBCs will be live from the start of FIFA 23 and there is no expiry date for them.
