FUT Birthday is an annual promo event that celebrates the anniversary of the Ultimate Team game mode being introduced to FIFA.

This means that the FUT Birthday promotional event within Ultimate Team falls on the same month every single year.

In celebration of the inauguration of the most popular mode in FIFA, EA always puts a fun twist on proceedings.

Whether that be position changes or skill moves / weak foot upgrades for some of the most popular players in the game, the FUT Birthday event never fails to produce quality and exciting cards.

So, find out when the hotly anticipated campaign will begin in FIFA 23 below.

What month is FUT Birthday?

Ultimate Team was originally introduced to FIFA on Thursday, 19 March 2009, which means we'll be celebrating its 15th birthday this year.

Unsurprisingly, the FUT Birthday promo runs during the month of March.

However, the release date cannot fall on the original start date of the game mode due to the fact that this is not a Friday.

And, as you are probably already aware, every new promotional campaign within FUT 23 always begins on a Friday.

FIFA 23 FUT Birthday start date

EA has not yet officially confirmed the start date for this year's FUT Birthday promo, but we are almost certain we know when it will commence.

Various leakers are reporting that the FUT Birthday promo will commence directly following the end of the FUT Ballers campaign.

The Fantasy FUT event is a two-week promo which means we can expect the FUT Birthday festivities to kick off on Friday, 24 March.

We don't know whether FIFA 23's FUT Birthday campaign will run for two weeks as it did in FIFA 22, with a Team 1 and Team 2 promo squad.

What we do know is that the first set of promo items will be released into packs at the usual time of 1pm ET / 6pm GMT.
