FUT Birthday has certainly delivered this season on FIFA 21, and it is not over yet.

FUT 21 players have received huge stat boosts in the promo, including big Skill Moves and Weak Foot upgrades.

Here's everything you need to know about the promo so far.

Latest - SBCs continue

We are set for more SBCs in the FUT Birthday event, with Atletico Madrid midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia seemingly on the way.

Rapid Dutch centre back Jeremiah St. Juste should also arrive this week, the perfect man for a Bundesliga / Dutch link.

Release Date

FUT Birthday kicked off on Friday, 26 March.

The promo started at 2pm ET / 6pm GMT and will run for two weeks - with a second-team arriving on Friday, 2 April.

Look ahead to all the potential next promos here.
