The release date for FIFA 23 has officially been confirmed by EA Sports, with early access and pre-order bonuses also being revealed.

In what will be EA 's final FIFA-branded football title, EA are claiming that FIFA 23 will be one of the most realistic and exciting FIFA games to date, with the official trailer teasing some of the new features set to be included in FIFA 23. The trailer highlighted a few details of what fans can expect, including Hypermotion 2 and FIFA World Cup modes for the men's and women's.

As well as revealing new features in FIFA 23 and the game's official release date, EA has followed the trailer up by opening up pre-orders, with players able to pre-order both the Standard and Ultimate Edition of the game. The FIFA 23 cover stars were unveiled earlier this week by EA, with Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe and Chelsea Women's Sam Kerr the worldwide faces of FIFA 23.

With the release date now confirmed, it means we now know what dates players with early access can also start playing the new game. Let's take a look!
