*UPDATED* FIFA 23: Everything you need to know about the game, including release date predictions, early access rumors, and more
FIFA23 has yet to be officially revealed, but it seems increasingly likely that this will be the last FIFA game.
EA indicated they may rename the series “EA Sports FC” starting in 2023. While this won’t affect gameplay, it is scary.
Already, we are starting to see leaks about possible release dates, crossplay, Ultimate Team changes, and a possible World Cup mode.
FIFA 23 is the largest FIFA franchise ever, with more licenses than ever, allowing players to access all new leagues, teams, and stadiums.
WePC is particularly excited about FIFA 23’s Career Mode. This could be even more than last year’s.
What’s the future for FIFA 23? When will it be released? When will we be able to pre-order and get early access?
FIFA 23 Pre-Order, Pre-Order Bonus & Early Access
Tom Henderson said they could release FIFA 23 on September 30, 2022.
This is understandable as the expected time we see FIFA releases is around September/October.
FIFA 22 was launched entirely on Friday, October 1, 2021. If EA plans a Friday launch, that could mean that FIFA 23 will be released on September 30, 2022.
There is not much to announce yet. However, if 100% of the game is released (which seems likely), we will soon see a teaser trailer/official announcement within the next month.
The FIFA reveal trailer for last year was released on July 11, 2021. We fully anticipate a similar release date for FIFA 23.
FIFA 23 Pre-Order, Pre-Order Bonus & Early Access
Here’s our prediction for the FIFA23 pre-order – and also predicted FIFA23 pre-order bonuses.
Although there is no official information on FIFA 23’s launch, we can look back at FIFA 22 and make some assumptions.
EA announced last year that FIFA pre-orders must be placed by August 11 to receive an untradable FUT Heroes player piece.

It begs the question: will FIFA23 pre-ordered bonuses? We see this with many EA titles, but it is highly probable. However, what the pre-order rewards will be at this point remains unknown.
There are rumors (please take these with some salt) about some of the FIFA23 pre-order bonuses.
Fut Sheriff claimed on Twitter that those who pre-ordered the rumored Ultimate Edition of the game would receive:
- 1 Fifa World Cup Fut Heroes Player Untradeable (November 11). Only if pre-ordered before August 21
- Three days early access (Play starting September 27).
- One Untradeable One to Keep Watch player (from September 30)
Referring to FIFA 22, pre-order benefits were as follows. This could provide some more clues:
- Limited time offer – Purchase a FUT Heroes Player item starting December 1!
- Ones to Watch Player item
- Four days early access
- Dual entitlement – Free PlayStation 5 upgrade
- 4600 FIFA points
- The Team of the Week 1 Player Item
- Kylian Mbappe loan item
- FUT Ambassador Loan Player Pick
- Career Mode Homegrown Talent
We predict that FIFA23 pre-orders will be available shortly after the trailer hits.
If we look back at FIFA 22, it seems likely that we will have early access to FIFA 23.
If the September 30 release date is set, early access would be available on the 27th. A 10-hour EA Play trial could also be offered.
