EA Sports made new mini-releases to the EA FC 24 Thunderstruck promo, adding new icons and players to the roster. Find out who all the Thunderstruck players are available in packs and which ones can be obtained in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team by completing SBCs.

EA FC 24 players have been spoiled when it comes to promos in recent weeks. Road to the Knockouts and FC Pro Live brought live special cards that will be upgraded throughout the year, while Triple Threat offered fans a men’s player, a women’s player, and a Hero from the same club.

The devs are showing no signs of slowing down though, as they confirmed this year’s Black Friday event is the brand-new campaign called Thunderstruck. Black Friday is always one of the biggest days on the Ultimate Team calendar, so the community no longer has to wait.

Here’s everything you need to know about the new EA FC 24 Thunderstruck promo.

EA FC 24 Thunderstruck start date

The EA FC 24 Thunderstruck promo arrived on November 24, 2023, at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM GMT. While EA Sports revealed a team filled with stars and Icons, they have not confirmed whether this new promo will last for one week like EA FC 24 Pro Live or if we will have a second Thunderstruck release next week.

We will make sure to update this page as soon as the developers unveil new details.
