With Christmas fast approaching, FUT players have been expecting a Futmas promo to release soon, but the promo may have been renamed for FUT 21.
Pictures have been circulating on social media regarding a brand new FIFA 21 loading screen, with the 'leaked' loading screen showing a new promo called 'Freeze', which has led to FUT players speculating that the much-loved Futmas promo could be repackaged with a brand new name for FUT 21.
EA SPORTS have done this already this year, with the FUT 21 Rulebreakers promo that was released back in October, this promo was essentially the much-loved Ultimate Scream promo, but was renamed and repackaged for FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.

So, if the 'leaked' loading screen is to be believed, Futmas could be replaced by Freeze in FUT 21. But even if it is, the promo is likely to be very similar to Futmas promos that we've seen in previous FUT campaigns.
In FUT 20, the Futmas promo began on December 13, 2019 at 6pm GMT, so it's likely that either Futmas or Freeze begin on December 11, 2020 at 6pm GMT for FUT 21.
Obviously, the 'leaked' Freeze loading screen could be fake and has yet to be confirmed as real, so we'll have to wait until Friday December 11 at 6pm GMT to find out for sure.
In previous Futmas promos, new player SBCs are released every day, based on FIFA world rankings and league position in the previous season, with around 30 special player items expected to released during the promo.
