The next release date for FIFA 23 is almost here, and it can now be played depending on certain editions or subscriptions you have access to.
First, as the name suggests, was the early access release of FIFA 23, which lets you try a limited-time version of the game several days early.
On Xbox, there was the New Zealand hack, which allowed even earlier access. If you didn’t use this, something to remember for next year!
Beyond that, you’ll have to pay for full access. This page explains each FIFA 23 release date, including when you can start if you have the standard version of the full game.

When is FIFA 23 Early Access released? FIFA 23 Early Access Release Date and Time
Ahead of FIFA 23’s standard release date, there’s the opportunity to play early through various means, with the Ultimate Edition or being a member of EA Play Pro (PC only) giving you full access as soon as possible.
Additionally, those with a standard EA Play subscription (or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which includes EA Play) will also get a 10-hour trial starting right now.
The FIFA 23 Early Access release date is Tuesday, September 27, and the FIFA 23 Early Access release time will go live at midnight local time in each respective store.
On Origin/PC, this will be a little earlier for those in the UK and will be available on Monday at 11pm BST.
The 10-hour trial also applies to new EA Play and Xbox Game Pass Ultimately subscribers, so feel free to take advantage of any discounted first month offers to get your hands on a good slice of the game at a low cost. And yes, all your saves and progress will carry over to the full game.
However, if you’re on Xbox, there’s a way to play a little sooner…
FIFA 23 New Zealand Release Time Cheat Explained
If you play on console, there is a way to play even before midnight if you have Ultimate Edition or EA Play.
On Xbox, you need to change your console region to New Zealand and start playing early. In the UK, this is from midday (12 hours earlier) and in America, even earlier when you take into account the time difference.
This works with Ultimate Edition pre-orders on Monday and the EA Play/Game Pass Ultimate trial starting at 4pm in the UK (to find FIFA, search the store and then select the relevant platform).
The following tweet from FIFAUTeam explains how this works:
How to do it:1) Go to Xbox Settings > System;2) Select ‘English (New Zealand)’ as the language region 3) Select ‘New Zealand’ as the location;4) Restart

This is apparently also possible on PlayStation, with the steps shown in the video below from NepentheZ on Twitter, which we haven’t been able to verify, but apparently works for multiplayer, regardless of region.
Otherwise, for PC, there is no known solution for early play, so you may have to wait until midnight local time to start playing your EA Play and Ultimate Team versions of FIFA 23.
When does FIFA 23 come out? All FIFA 23 release dates explained
There are multiple releases for FIFA 23 if multiple editions are taken into account. Unlike last year, there are only two release dates, and not four, to simplify things a bit.
In summary, the release dates for FIFA 23 are as follows:
- Early access to Ultimate Edition and EA Play: Tuesday, September 27
- Standard Edition Release Date: Friday, September 30
The release dates above are global and apply to all platforms, and will launch at midnight local time. The same ‘New Zealand’ trick will also work on Xbox platforms for those who’ve pre-ordered, and remember that if you have EA Play or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you can already get a head start now as part of the 10-hour trial , then continue playing your saved game with your full purchased copy.
Regardless of how you access FIFA, we hope you enjoy this year’s edition!
