FIFA 21 Carniball 2021 countdown: start date, predictions, leaks EA SPORTSIt\u2019s nearly party time in Ultimate Team \u2014 starting this month, FIFA 21 should be getting into celebration mode with its popular \u201cCarniball\u201d promo, based around the world-famous annual Carnivals across the globe. [jwplayer q2PHNyT5] Every year, countries like Brazil, Belgium, France, and Spain get into the festive spirit with massive Carnivals and parades, celebrating the historical season of Lent. To celebrate, FIFA rolls out super-boosted FUT squads, with players selected from celebrating countries. In the past, we\u2019ve seen iconic footballers like Neymar, Hugo Lloris, Franck Rib\u00e9ry, and Paulo Dybala handed big upgrades \u2014 and flashy new Ultimate Team cards to boot \u2014 as part of the early year event. Last year, however, EA SPORTS skipped the 2020 celebrations. That means we may see them go all-in on the event this time around, to make up for missing last year\u2019s promo. There\u2019s a good chance there\u2019ll even be two squads. Without further ado, here\u2019s everything we know about Carniball 2021 so far. When will Carniball 2021 begin? EA SPORTS has yet to officially confirm anything regarding Carniball 2021, but we can put together when the promo would ship based on the Carnivals being held around the world in a host of European and South American countries. The \u201cCarniball\u201d promo should arrive in FIFA 21 in mid-March. In FIFA 19 \u2014 the last time the event ran in-game \u2014 it kicked off on Friday, March 8 and ran for a full week. This time, it should begin on Friday, March 12. There\u2019s also a chance we\u2019ll see the promo split across two squads, as EA has done recently. That should mean a second lineup on March 19. Either way, the first date confirmation we should get \u2014 outside of leaks \u2014 will be on the Ultimate Team title screen, so keep your eyes peeled! Keep tuned on our Twitter accounts, @UltimateTeamUK and @FutWatch, to see all the breaking news. Carniball predictions: who makes the 2021 team? Who is eligible? EA SPORTS chose each \u201cCarniball\u201d card from the eight high-profile cities that celebrate annual Carnivals around February and March each year. This includes Brazil (Rio De Janeiro), France (Nice), Belgium (Binche), Italy (Venice), Argentina (Buenos Aires), USA (New Orleans), Spain (Cadiz), and Germany (Cologne). The lineup \u2014 potentially around 18 players strong if there\u2019s two teams \u2014 will then be selected from these top-class footballing nations.
