FIFA 23’s Road to the Final upgrade path is simple and easy to follow.FIFA 23 Road to the Final cards are live items that increase in rating depending on how far players go in their respective European competition, in the same vein as the Path to Glory promo from earlier in the season.
Each time a player reaches a new round of the Champions League, Europa League, or Europa Conference League, they will receive a rating boost that will increase their in-game stats. The further they progress, the better the card becomes.

- First knockout game win after campaign launch: +1
- Qualify for the Quarter-Finals: +1
- Qualify for the Semi-Finals: +1 & new traits
- Qualify for the Final: 5 Star Weak Foot
- Win the tournament: +1 & 5 Star Skill Moves
The best part is, the player depicted in the card doesn’t need to feature in the matches to be eligible for upgrades. So, even if they don’t kick a ball in the tournament, they can still hit an incredible rating if their team clinches the trophy.
The updates will arrive on the following dates:
- February 24
