FIFA 23 Early Access
EA has given us a roadmap for the launch of FIFA 23. September 30, 2022, is the official launch day for the upcoming part – but logically, that is just too late for us FUT grinders. We want to get our hands on FIFA 23 in advance and as early as possible. Therefore, we explain how you can play FIFA 23 as early as possible.
Ways To Play FIFA Ultimate Team Early On
This year's Early Access is divided into the launch of the FUT Web App and Companion App, as well as the FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition and EA Play Trial. Just click through the apps to find further information. You get off to the best possible start if you are active in the FUT Web App from day one.
| DATE | HOW? |
| September 21 | FUT Web App |
| September 22 | FUT Companion App |
| September 27 | Ultimate Edition (pre-order) |
| September 27 | EA Play Trial |
FIFA 23 EA Play Trial Release And Start Time
The testing phase for FIFA 23 starts on September 27. We expect the 10-hour trial period to unlock at around 6:00 p.m. Early Access is available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. If you purchase the game afterwards, your progress will carry over.
If you're really smart, you can subscribe to EA Play for only one month to play FIFA 23 before all other non-members. Then the whole thing will only cost you $0.99 – but don't forget to cancel the subscription after your 10 hours are over.
When you start the game, you will see a timer that counts down as long as you are online. So make sure that you always close the game completely during the test phase, otherwise your time will just tick off.
How to get the FIFA 23 Early Access / EA Play Trial:
- Go to EA Play
- Follow the on-screen instructions and subscribe to the service
- Go to your console's store and search for "FIFA 23"
- Select one of the editions and then 'Trial'.
The best way to get started is to jump straight into Squad Battles (unless you've built a massive team in the web app and want to compete online right away) and play as much as you can. Use the time and don't get stuck in the menu, that's what the companion apps are for. Try FIFA 23 yourself and decide if you want to buy it.
