Our FIFA 23 RTTK upgrade tracker will provide all of the details concerning upgrades from the exciting RTTK promo. These Road to the Knockouts cards have improved over the course of the remaining group-stage matches.

EA didn’t make FIFA 23 players wait long for some major Ultimate Team promos, as Road to the Knockouts followed Ones to Watch as the second FUT promo. Much like OTW, RTTK delivered a set of promo cards that are eligible for juicy upgrades.

The promo focuses on Europe’s elite club football competitions: Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League. The real-life results from the group stage of these three competitions have had a major impact on RTTK upgrades in FIFA 23.

Our RTTK upgrade tracker will detail which players received a sought-after stat boost in FIFA 23.

The requirements for an RTTK upgrade are as followed:

The rating system used to determine upgrades will be similar to that of the TOTW system.

  • 82 → 84
  • 83 → 85
  • 84 → 86
  • 85 → 86
  • 86 → 87
  • 87 → 88

  • 89 → 90
  • 92 → 93

It’s important to note that player upgrades are determined by club performances. This means that an RTTK player can receive an upgrade even if they don’t participate in the remaining group stage matches.
