Update, 19 August 19:00As EA Sports announced via Twitter, the pre– Season event will be postponed due to unforeseen problems. When it is now to start, is currently not known. Further information from EA will follow.

What is the pre– Season event? The Pre– Season Event is characterized by the fact that you can unlock first rewards for the upcoming FIFA 23 Ultimate Team by playing FUT 22.

Last year there were the following rewards, which could be earned by completing SBCs (Squad Building Challenges):

• Two FUT 22 coin boosts (5 games x 1,000 coins).
• One FUT 22 quick start pack with chemistry styles, jerseys and a gold pack
• A FUT 22 “A league of its own” pack with 3 gold players from all major European leagues.

While the rewards weren’t incredibly good last year, they could definitely be useful for the start of the new FUT – Season . We’re excited to see what the rewards will be this time around and will keep you updated as soon as we know more.

When does the event start? A loading screen in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team has announced the event and confirmed the start for today, Friday, August 19 at 19:00.

What content will Pre– Season bring for FIFA 22?

You can expect these contents: Besides the loading screen in FIFA 22, there is currently no official information about the contents and rewards of the new Pre– Season Event. However, it should be the case again that especially powerful cards of the current FUT – Season will end up in packs again.

In addition, there have been top transfer cards in recent years, where freshly transferred players received particularly powerful cards. So it could be that we could see a Man City card from Erling Haaland.
