Electronic Arts and Warner Bros Interactive revealed that FIFA 23 is crossing over with the sports comedy-drama TV series Ted Lasso.

The AFC Richmond soccer club will be added to the game and can be used across FIFA 23‘s various game modes such as Career mode, Kickoff, Online Friendlies, and Online Seasons.
