EA Sports said FIFA 23 will be "most expansive game ever, with more features, game modes, World Cup content, clubs, leagues, competitions, and players than any FIFA title before".

The company added: "Our unique licensing portfolio of more than 19,000+ players, 700+ teams, 100+ stadiums and 30 leagues that we've continued to invest in for decades will still be there, uniquely in EA Sports FC.

"That includes exclusive partnerships with the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, the MLS - and more to come."
