FIFA 23 welcomes the arrival of the Showdown Series promo in Ultimate Team. The Showdown Series delivers live cards to the game with the potential for upgrades so let’s get into the SBCs that have arrived.
FIFA 23 players have come to expect a new promo every Friday, however, this isn’t always the case. Previously the RTTF promo brought plenty of live cards to Ultimate Team, but with it being a one-week promo, players were wondering what was next.
It turns out FIFA 23 players received the Showdown Series promo to bridge the gap to the rumored FUT Birthday promo. The event has taken over Ultimate Team and will deliver plenty of boosted cards via SBCs.
Standout players include Winter Wildcard Gabriel Jesus, OTW Haaland, and Winter Wildcard Benzema.
The Showdown Series first appeared in FIFA 22 and the concept will remain the same in FIFA 23.
Essentially, EA will offer players the opportunity to complete a considerable amount of Showdown SBCs and Objectives.
The Showdown concept focuses on two players who are set to face off in a real-life match. Based on the results of the match, the FIFA 23 Showdown players will receive upgrades.
Here’s how the Showdown Series upgrades are expected to function:
- Win: +2
- Draw: +1
- Loss: No upgrade
Of course, the catch is that players will have to complete the SBC or Objective before the match begins, meaning you’ll get the chance to predict the outcome before a ball is kicked. The Showdown Series balances the risk and reward concept with a major upgrade for the winning team.
FIFA 23 Showdown Series SBC players
FIFA 23 players are in for some juicy cards with potential upgrades on the line. The Showdown Series will focus on major clashes between top teams such as Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid and Manchester United vs Liverpool.

For now, here’s a list of every Showdown Series player so far:
