With FIFA 22‘s Ultimate Team mode now in full swing, players are desperately looking for even better cards to bolster their dream team. The good news is that there’s a new promo to help scratch that itch. The FIFA 22 Road to the Knockouts cards will give players the chance to get cards that will upgrade throughout the year. In this guide, we’ll explain what they are, how to get them, when the promo starts, and our Road to the Knockouts predictions for which players will get one of these special cards.
What Are Road to the Knockouts Cards?
The Road to the Knockouts (RTTK) cards will essentially replace the Road to the Final (RTTF) cards we’ve seen in previous FIFA games.
The cards will begin at their slightly improved ratings, before being upgraded the further their team progresses in either the Champion’s League, Europa League or Conference League. For each round that they progress through (including the group stages of each competition) they’ll receive a +1 boost to their OVR rating.
When Does FIFA 22 Road to the Knockouts Start?
The Road to the Knockouts promotion is set to start on Friday, Oct. 15, at around 10:00am PT/ 1:00pm ET/ 6:00pm GMT.
At this time, we’ll see the first set of Road to the Knockouts cards get released, however, there’s a good chance another set will be released a week or two later. The exact timeline for these hasn’t been released yet.
How to Get Road to the Knockouts Player Cards
As is always the case with promo cards, the FIFA 22 Road to the Knockout players will primarily be obtained from packs. This means you’ll either need to spend your coins or real-life cash on FIFA Points to obtain them.
There’s also a chance that EA Sports may release some FIFA 22 RTTK cards through SBCs in order to help balance out the transfer market economy. We could also see some of the lower-rated RTTK cards feature as Objectives rewards, though this is all speculation for the time being.

FIFA 22 Road to the Knockouts Predictions
Trying to predict which players EA Sports will give RTTK cards for is difficult, given there’s so many top-tier players competing in the Champion’s League, Europa League and Conference League. That being said, we’ve given it our best try to pinpoint some players that seem like good fits for the promotion below:
