FC 25 RTTF Tracker and Champions League Upgrades Guide

FC 25 RTTF Tracker and Champions League Upgrades Guide

The FC 25 RTTF (Road to the Finals) promo has officially kicked off, drawing all eyes to the final stages of the Champions League and Europa League. This exciting event allows players to earn upgrades for their in-game cards based on the real-life performances of teams in European competitions. New cards such as Dani Olmo and Dominik Szoboszlai are already available, with more expected later in February. Here's everything you need to know about how the FC 25 RTTF works and how you can track these upgrades.

What is FC 25 RTTF?

The FC 25 RTTF promo introduces a set of special cards with initial boosted ratings, and these cards can earn further upgrades based on their real-world performance in European competitions. If a player's team progresses through the rounds of the Champions League or Europa League—or any of the major European competitions—the player's card gets an upgrade in their overall rating, as well as potential boosts to their weak foot or skill moves.

As teams advance, so too do the player cards. For example, if a team makes it to the Champions League final, the player's card can earn multiple rating boosts over the course of the competition. These upgrades apply to the men's and women's game, with the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League all represented in the promo.

Who is in FC 25 RTTF Team 1?

FC 25 RTTF Team 1 is expected to be released on Friday, February 14. A full rundown of the squad will be provided once it drops. However, some players, like Inaki Williams (RM, Athletic Bilbao, 88) and Tosin Adarabioyo (CB, Chelsea, 87), are already available in the game and can be earned by grinding through different modes to accumulate Season Points (SP).

For more on earning these rewards, check out GR's FC 25 Season 5 ladder players guide, where we break down all the ways to earn SP and unlock more RTTF players.

When is FC 25 RTTF Team 2 Released?

Following the release of Team 1, Team 2 is expected to drop on Friday, February 21, assuming the schedule mirrors the previous FC 25 RTTK (Road to the Knockouts) promo. Expect additional SBCs (Squad Building Challenges) to be released throughout the promo, giving you further opportunities to earn special cards.

How Do FC 25 RTTF Upgrades Work?

FC 25 RTTF upgrades are tied to real-life matches, so each player's card will receive boosts when their team achieves specific milestones in European competitions. EA has confirmed that upgrades will go live the Friday after each match week. For instance, if a player's team wins or advances in a round, their card will get an upgrade the following week.

The upgrades come in the form of both overall rating increases and improvements to attributes such as weak foot and skill moves. These upgrades can significantly enhance the value of RTTF cards, especially if a player's team makes a deep run in the tournament.

For a detailed breakdown of the skill moves and how they impact gameplay, refer to GR's FC 25 skill moves guide once Team 1 is live.

When Are FC 25 RTTF Items Upgraded In-Game?

EA has clarified that RTTK upgrades will be applied starting the Friday after each match week, and we expect FC 25 RTTF to follow the same format. This means that any performance-based upgrades for RTTF players will be applied a week after the corresponding match in the competition.
