The newest version of the incredibly popular soccer football video game is set to release next week as FIFA 23 becomes available September 27 for early access. This will be the last version of FIFA games from EA Sports as we know it, ending a long-running series that started in 1993 with FIFA International Soccer.
It’s going out with a bang.
Not only will there be World Cup — both men’s and women’s — and women’s club football available in this edition, you can also play as one of the most popular teams from television.
That’s right. Ted Lasso, Roy Kent, Jamie Tartt and the lads from AFC Richmond are joining the fray.
Jamie’s eyebrow.
Ted’s khakis.
Roy’s red cards.The realism in #FIFA23 is unmatched. pic.twitter.com/Wsc2TohrWT

In addition to managing a team as Ted Lasso and Coach Beard, you’ll be able to play as the Greyhounds and at Richmond’s home pitch at Nelson Road. The third and final season of Ted Lasso is expected to announce its release date in the near future, and this will only ramp up the excitement.
The internet was understandably excited.
I've got goosebumps. Seein’ my guys in CGI is so weird. Except Roy for some reason. pic.twitter.com/YqPuvw2jHK
