League SBCs are an amazing way to grind and obtain packs in Ultimate Team, and with Winter Wildcards in full swing, gamers will be eager to open as many as possible. All individual segments of the Squad Building Challenge offer pack rewards, with a Prime Gold Players Pack as the bonus for completing all tasks. The estimated cost of this item is 45,000 FUT coins in the FIFA 23 store, making the SBC a worthwhile proposition.


League SBCs have been a mainstay in Ultimate Team since the inception of Squad Building Challenges in FIFA 17. Not only are these excellent for obtaining packs, they also serve as an outlet for fans to submit their duplicate cards. With Winter Wildcards being amongst the most anticipated promos of the year, it is fitting that the much-awaited League SBCs have returned to FIFA 23 during this event.

However, the format of the Squad Building Challenges has changed dramatically. Instead of focusing on a singular league, the Premium Winter League Upgrade SBC features some of the most prominent leagues in the world. It is repeatable and will be available in Ultimate Team for the next 26 days.
