As we roll into the heart of the summer promo season in EA Sports FC 25, one big question is on every player’s mind: When does Futties start? With the current Shapeshifters promo not living up to expectations, the anticipation for Futties has never been higher.
What We Know So Far
Right now, Team 2 of the Shapeshifters promo is live in FC 25. This year’s version of the event launched on June 13, 2025, and based on previous years and strong community leaks, it is expected to run for a total of four weeks. That would place its end date right around July 11, 2025.
That timeline is no coincidence. In FC 24, Futties began on July 19, 2024, following a similar four-week Shapeshifters promo. For FC 25, the promo calendar points to Futties kicking off on Friday, July 11, 2025, lining up perfectly with the conclusion of Shapeshifters.

Why the Hype?
Futties is traditionally one of the most beloved promos of the year. It is EA’s way of celebrating the end of the annual cycle with fan-favorite cards, pink-themed content, overpowered SBCs, and massive community engagement. Think 99-rated cards, nostalgic player revivals, and affordable grindable content.
Unfortunately, that level of excitement has not carried over to Shapeshifters in FC 25. Many in the community have voiced their frustration over the lack of meaningful SBCs and top-tier rewards. Engagement has dipped, and all eyes are now on what’s next.
EA’s Hidden Hint: “The Futties Countdown”
Interestingly, EA has already begun teasing the arrival of Futties with a cleverly named Training Camp Evolution called “The Futties Countdown.” Available through the web and companion apps, this Evolution lets you send a player to “training camp” in exchange for a 500,000-coin or 1000 FC Point investment, returning with Futties-style upgrades. It is a subtle but clear signal that Futties is right around the corner.
So, When Exactly Is It?
Based on all available clues including promo calendars, previous years, and EA’s in-game hints, Futties in FC 25 is expected to start on Friday, July 11, 2025.
That gives players just a few more weeks of Shapeshifters before we dive headfirst into one of the most fun and chaotic promos of the year.
Mark your calendars and keep grinding through the lull. Futties is coming, and it promises to be worth the wait.
