EA SPORTSRoad to the Final cards return in EA FC 25 and our useful tracker will help you keep on top of every upgrade as the Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference League, and Women’s UCL unfold.
While new promo cards always get the community excited, certain staples return in every single Ultimate Team cycle. Many of these have already appeared in EA FC 25, such as Future Stars and Team of the Year, and now the fan-favorite Road to the Final cards have made a comeback.
These unique items receive upgrades based on how their teams fare in European competitions, but with four different tournaments to keep up with, it can be hard to know who’s next in line for a boost. Here’s our EA FC 25 RTTF upgrade tracker, showing all the players and their upgrade criteria.

However, you won’t be able to get them all, as each Season Progress level containing RTTF items offers a choice between two from each cup.

It’s worth keeping in mind that the upgrades are based on the team’s performance, not the individual player. So, even if the player depicted on your RTTF card doesn’t kick a ball in any of the matches, they’ll still reap all of the rewards if their club lifts the trophy.
So, if you’re looking to make smart investments once the promo begins, make sure you’re looking at the team as much as the player.
When are RTTF cards eligible for upgrades?
Road to the Final cards are eligible for upgrades from the first match of their respective tournaments, which is March 4 for the men’s competitions and March 18 for the UWCL. There are no opportunities for upgrades before these dates and play-off matches aren’t included.
We’ll be sure to update this page with the latest Road to the Final players and all of the upgrades once European competitions kick off, so check back here to stay in the loop.
