In FIFA 23, fans are able to play as any of the 32 qualified nations in an authentic recreation of the full FIFA World Cup 2022TM from the opening match to the final game.

In Online Tournament Mode, fans will fight through the Knockout Stages as any of the qualified nations, aiming for glory against other players from around the world.
“Every four years, the World Cup presents a unique opportunity to unite the world of football, and we’re thrilled to provide an immersive, hands-on experience to football fans across the globe,” said Nick Wlodyka, SVP, GM, EA SPORTS FC. “Our first ever football game was built around international football, and we’ve been building on that experience ever since. It’s amazing to see how fans truly experience the highs, lows, and everything in between that can only be felt when the whole globe unites through the world’s game.”
Running November 21 through December 18, FIFA World CupTM: Live, a curated EA Sports World Cup experience, will be available to players only on FIFA 23.

Additionally, fans can take matters into their own hands to rewrite history by changing the outcome of any past game, giving them the spotlight.
