Release Date, Rulebreakers Cards & First Team – FIFA 23 Rulebreakers 

With the conclusion of the Road to the Knockouts (RTTK) promotional event, EA has paved the path for the next one. The FIFA 23 Rulebreakers is the third promotional event in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team (FUT). Moreover, given that it’s a unique game, FIFA fanatics seem quite enthusiastic due to its return.
