The fan-favorite Shapeshifters promo has returned to FIFA 22. Here’s everything we know about FIFA 22 Shapeshifters, from the release date to the featured players.
Following the release of FIFA 22 Ultimate TOTS, the Team of the Season promo drew to a close for another year. After weeks of non-stop content, players would be forgiven for thinking that FIFA 22 is winding down, and focus will be shifting to FIFA 23.
However, EA still has plenty of special events planned to tie players over until the new game drops, and a new promo was closer than a lot of people thought.
FIFA 22 Shapeshifters Team 4 is last on the schedule, so here’s everything we know about this interesting promo.

FIFA 22 Shapeshifters start date
Shapeshifters began on Friday, June 17, 2022. This was the day that Ultimate TOTS ended, and just like we expected, players were thrown straight into Shapeshifters with no letup.
The first team of Shapeshifters hit packs at 6 PM BST and will remain there for a full week. A second team will follow on Friday, June 24 at the same time.
What is FIFA 22 Shapeshifters?
Despite its absence in FIFA 21, Shapeshifters is a popular promo among the FUT community as it sees big-name players moving out of their preferred position.
These can range from conventional moves like a full-back switching to a winger, to more unusual changes like a center-back playing as a striker. The cards are also heavily boosted to make them great options in their new position.
In the past, we’ve seen the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold move into midfield and even N’Golo Kante drop into defense. The idea is to open up new possibilities and Chemistry links to help players build weird and wonderful squads.
As we move into the end of FIFA 22’s lifecycle, Shapeshifters is exactly the kind of quirky concept that will keep players occupied until FIFA 23 releases.
