FIFA 23 will not be just another edition in the iconic EA Sports series. It will be the final installment brought by the developer under the FIFA name. But before they leave, they made sure of bringing fans great news: Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond will be playable in the game.

From next year, the popular soccer videogame will be renamed to EA Sports FC. Fortunately, there won't be major changes as EA Sports still holds most of the licenses it did in the past for FIFA 23. 

As a matter of fact, new leagues and teams will be added to the game - besides the beloved fictional coach and soccer team. However, fans will also notice the absence of clubs and competitions that were playable in the previous installment. Here, check out all you need to know.

Which leagues were removed from FIFA 23?

FIFA 23 will no longer feature the Mexican Liga MX, which struck a deal with Konami, nor the Japanese J-League. The Liga do Brasil will also be removed, though its absence makes more sense. In the last editions, Brazilian teams had their original names, kits, and crests but with generic rosters.

Which new leagues and clubs will be introduced in FIFA 23?

Leagues

Women's club competitions will be introduced for the first time. FIFA 23 will include the English Barclays Super League and the French D1 Arkema. Meanwhile, the only news regarding men's soccer is the return of the Serie BKT, the Italian second division.

Teams

FIFA 23 has more license news when it comes to teams, with the return of Serie A giants Juventus after their deal with Konami expired. In addition, this installment will also bring the national teams of Croatia, Morocco, Qatar, and Ghana. 

However, the biggest news is without any doubt the addition of AFC Richmond, the fictional Premier League team from the Apple TV series Ted Lasso. Of course, the popular character played by Jason Sudeikis will also be part of FIFA 23.
