“The successful launch of this year’s title has been very special for us, and we’re incredibly proud to connect the millions of fans across the globe that share the same passion for the world’s game,” said Nick Wlodyka, SVP, GM of EA SPORTS FC. “With new clubs and leagues including Juventus FC, the Barclays FA Women’s Super League and Division 1 Arkema, plus the UEFA Women’s Champions League and the Men’s and Women’s World Cup* tournaments still to come, we’re energized to keep this momentum going and continue on our promise to provide the most immersive and authentic football experience to fans around the world.”

In Career Mode, EA SPORTS FIFA 23 has seen Jude Bellingham be the top transfer target for players, with over 630,000 players opting to select the Borussia Dortmund midfielder for their squad.

Players are also enjoying the new integration of their favorite mustached manager Ted Lasso, with AFC Richmond gaining a lot of success, winning over 1 million matches to date.

Global cover star Sam Kerr’s Chelsea Women have been the most selected women’s football team within FIFA 23, with Manchester City being the top choice for men’s clubs. Manchester City were also the most popular match up playing against Paris Saint-Germain.

With an incredible amount of goals scored, strikers have had a busy start to FIFA 23. The overall top men’s and women’s scorers so far are:
