In Ultimate Team, players will be able to use the AFC Richmond kits, as well as being able to select Ted Lasso or Coach Beard as your club’s manager. All AFC Richmond content in FUT will be available through objectives and challenges according to EA.

FIFA 23 will first be officially available to the public on September 27, three days before the full release on September 30.

This year’s version of the game will include a refreshed chemistry system, a new FUT Moments mode and a wider representation of women’s football.

Marvel and EA will collaborate on a series of special Hero items that will feature comic book-style graphics of some of football’s biggest cult heroes. These items will launch in conjunction with the World Cup which takes place this winter.
