Don't open EA FC 25 Rivals rewards instantly if you want Shapeshifters rewards
EA Sports has included Shapeshifters rewards in EA FC 25 Rivals rewards, but you won't be able to get them if you open your rewards as soon as you earn them
If you want to get the best players possible from your EA FC 25 Rivals rewards, then don't open your packs and player picks straight away, and wait a day longer instead.
As always, EA FC 25 Rivals rewards will become available to claim on Thursday at 12am PDT / 3AM EDT / 8am BST for all players in Ultimate Team, giving players the chance to open all the packs and player picks they've earned from playing Rivals over the last week. As you go up the divisions, the EA FC 25 Rivals rewards get better, but as we approach the end-game of EA FC 25 Ultimate Team, EA Sports has boosted all the Rivals rewards, with guaranteed promo player packs included as low as Division 8.
Guaranteed TOTS packs were released for the TOTS promo, and with the Shapeshifters promo up next, EA has now started to include Shapeshifters items in EA FC 25 Rivals rewards. Shapeshifters is one of the biggest promos in the Ultimate Team calendar, and players have been given their first taste of what to expect in the upcoming promo as part of the Season 8 rewards.
The updated EA FC 25 Rivals rewards include packs and player picks that contain either Ultimate TOTS or Shapeshifters players, and with the pack weight for Ultimate TOTS quite weak and Shapeshifters almost guaranteed to have better players, the Ultimate Team community will be praying for players from the latter promo instead.
But, with the Shapeshifters promo not live in Ultimate Team packs until Friday, June 13 at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT/ 6pm BST, if you were to open your Rivals rewards before then, then your guaranteed TOTS/Shapeshifters packs and player picks will only include TOTS players and no Shapeshifters items.
Don't open your EA FC 25 Rivals rewards
With Shapeshifters players not available until Friday, June 13 at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT/ 6pm BST, we recommend saving your EA FC 25 Rivals rewards until the Shapeshifters players are available in packs, as there will be a much better chance of you earning one of these incredible players in your rewards.
Early Shapeshifters leaks have revealed that Icons and Heroes will also be included in the promo, while players will be as high as 98-rated, so you'd be silly not to wait an extra day to open your rewards and try and earn one of these coveted items.
The Shapeshifters promo is expected to last a few weeks in Ultimate Team, meaning Shapeshifters players will be included in Rivals rewards for the next few weeks. But, it's only this week where it makes sense to hold off on opening your Rivals rewards straight away and show a little bit of patience.

Major league could return in EA FC 26 as Konami remove 14 teams from eFootball
A league that hasn't featured in FIFA or EA Sports FC since FIFA 22 could be destined for a return to EA Sports' game series in EA FC 26. After a four-year hiatus due to an exclusive licensing agreement with Konami, a fan-favourite league could be usable again in EA FC 26. As we enter the summer months, all attention is starting to turn towards the next instalment of the EA Sports FC series, with EA Sports set to release its latest title, EA FC 26, later this year. EA FC 25 is still in full swing with the highly anticipated Shapeshifters promo going live in Ultimate Team soon, but it's hard not to turn our heads towards EA FC 26, with some early leaks and rumours already starting to circulate. A host of EA FC 26 details, including an earlier release date, were seemingly leaked in April, while we've also seen an image of the rumoured EA FC 26 logo circulating on social media in recent weeks. But now, Konami has confirmed that one of its exclusively licensed leagues will be removed from eFootball, opening up the pathway for a new league to be added to EA FC 26. New league in line for EA FC 26 return After joining forces with Konami in 2022, the top division of Mexican football, Liga MX, is no longer exclusively licensed to eFootball, with the Japanese company confirming in a recent update that the league, along with all of its teams, will be removed from the game. This is the full list of teams from Liga MX that will be removed from eFootball this month: Ciudad de Mexico AB Pachuca de Soto BA Puebla AB Toluca de Lerdo RB Jalisco RN Monterrey AB Comarca Lagunera VB Tijuana RN Leon de los Aldamas VB Queretaro BA Aguascalientes RB Ciudad Juarez VN San Luis Potosi RB Mazatlan MN Liga MX last featured in FIFA 22, with the league being removed in FIFA 23 due to its agreement with Konami. There have been some cult-hero Ultimate Team items in the past from Liga MX that plenty of Ultimate Team players would've used and loved, including TOTS Andre-Pierre Gignac in FIFA 19, Silver star Luis Perea in FIFA 14, FUT Birthday Keisuke Honda in FIFA 18, and the late Christian Benitez in FIFA 12. Right now, there are a few names you'll likely recognise from Liga MX that will be set for an Ultimate Team return if it is added for EA FC 26, including Georgios Giakoumakis, Lucas Ocampos, Sergio Canales, Salomon Rondon, Jonathan Dos Santos, and Sergio Ramos. And of course, who can forget the Pumas UNAM kits that were like gold dust in the early days of Ultimate Team? If Liga MX does return, it will be a fantastic addition.

After six weeks of the TOTS promo, EA Sports is giving Ultimate Team a refresh by releasing the EA FC 25 Shapeshifters promo later this week.

But, the power curve is changing in Ultimate Team once again, with EA now set to release the first EA FC 25 Shapeshifters squad. Shapeshifters has been a major promo in Ultimate Team for a few years now, with the promo featuring huge stat upgrades and wild position changes like goalkeepers at striker. The Ultimate Team season refreshed at the beginning of June, and it gave us our first look at Shapeshifters in EA FC 25, including the official card design.
