The FIFA 22 Ultimate Team game cyle is well underway now and there's just one thing on every player's mind right now... where are the Icon Swaps?!

Well, the first set of Icon Swaps has now arrived in FUT 22, with the full lineup leaked in advance.

Take a look at which legends and pack rewards you will be able to unlock during FIFA 22's Icon Swaps Set 1 below.

Release Date

Icon Swaps 1 were released on Wednesday, 15 December.

As with nearly all other releases, the objectives went live at 1pm ET / 6pm GMT.

The first set of nine tokens are available until Monday, 10 January, as are the Swap SBC rewards.

This surely means that the remaining nine tokens will be released sooner rather than later!
