FIFA 23 Gets World Cup Mode For Men And Women

After Sam Kerr is on the cover EA makes a round thing out of women's football and brings club teams. For the first time, there is a real tournament for the national teams that can be played in FIFA: The Women's World Cup. It's about time.

Do you still remember 2006 (or were you born then, no offense) when we had to buy an extra game for the World Cup in Germany? Those times are over.

FIFA 23 World Cup: Download And Release Date

In FIFA 23, the World Cup mode will be available as a download. We assume that it will come without extra costs, and you can download it as a title update. When exactly this will be, we don't know yet. The World Cup in Qatar starts on November 20 – we assume that EA will already implement the World Cup mode before then.

FIFA 23 FUT World Cup Mode

Apparently, we will see a new promo in FIFA Ultimate Team on the occasion of the World Cup year. The FIFA World Cup Heroes are the special cards we will see then. They will be released on November 11.

You know the game from the 2018 World Cup in Russia – at least if you were already playing FUT then. Back then, the World Cup also came as an update, and there was even a World Cup mode for Ultimate Team.

This is how the World Cup mode could work in FUT:

  • There is no transfer market, all players and stadiums are unchangeable.
  • Coins and FIFA points are overlapping, there is only one account for World Cup and normal mode
  • All World Cup cards are dynamic, i.e. they can increase their rating if they perform well
  • Chemistry is divided between continents and nationalities

This is all you need to know for the upcoming World Cup modes, are you as hyped as we are?
