FIFA 23: When do Fantasy FUT card upgrades go live?

The Fantasy FUT campaign returned for a second year running in FUT 23.

As you are probably already aware, the Fantasy FUT promo introduced a fresh batch of dynamic items in Ultimate Team.

The players selected for the Fantasy FUT cards were pretty random, as this is not a performance-based promo in that sense.

However, the items do receive upgrades based on the real-life performances of the selected players and their teams.

But when do these upgrades actually go live in the game? Find out below.

When do Fantasy FUT upgrades go live?

From what we understand, the Fantasy FUT card upgrade system in FUT 23 is identical to that of the Road to the Final (RTTF) upgrade system.

Road to the Final cards get their upgrades at the end of each week when a given stage has concluded.

So, assuming the Fantasy FUT upgrade system is the same, the players that have earned their upgrade will receive them on the following Friday.

This means that the Fantasy FUT upgrades should go live on the following dates:

• Friday, 10 March
• Friday, 17 March
• Friday, 24 March
• Friday, 32 March
• Friday, 7 April
• Friday, 14 April

The upgrades will go live at the usual time of 1pm ET / 6pm GMT.
