FIFA 23 is just around the corner, with a number of news and leaks spilling out regarding the new game.
Check below for everything you need to know about getting your hands on the game before anyone else.
How to get FIFA 23 Early
There are many ways to get your hands on FIFA 23 early.
Firstly, you will be able to access the Beta version of the game months in advance, if you are contacted by EA with a code.
The Beta allows you to test out different elements on the game, reporting back to EA before full release.
The other way to access the game early is to purchase EA Play, which will offer you 10 hours of gameplay before the game's full release.
These 10 hours will allow you to play before anyone else, giving you the chance to get a head-start on your mates.
The third and final way to access the game - specifically Ultimate Team - early, is to use the Web App when it arrives.
The Web App usually arrives roughly a week before release, giving you the chance to bolster your squad before heading into the full game.
Beta Release Date 'Confirmed'
There has been no official confirmation from EA, but FIFAUTeam is already reporting when the Closed Beta will start.
Mark your calendar, because Thursday, 11 August is the date to look out for, nearly two months before the full game launches.
As always, you will need an invitation from EA to be able to play the Beta, so keep an eye on your emails.
