This article explains how to get FIFA 23 beta code.

FIFA 23 marks the end of an era for EA’s immensely popular football series of video games. Couple that with the usual pre-launch excitement and fans are more eager than ever to get their hands on the new FIFA game.

Beginning with FIFA International Soccer in 1994, EA’s football/soccer series has gone on to dominate the world of sports games. However, FIFA 23 will be the final game in the partnership between FIFA and EA. And that means it will be the last game to bear the FIFA name. All future installments will be known as EA Sports FC.

With FIFA 23 being the final entry in the series, many fans are expecting it to go out with a bang. And that has set the bar higher than ever before.

With so much hope and anticipation, fans are keen to get their hands on the new game as soon as possible. However, the only way to do that is through gaining access to the closed beta.

So, let’s go over how to get the FIFA 23 beta and everything you need to know about it…

FIFA 23 Beta Dates

Thankfully, EA are giving players the opportunity to play FIFA 23 early by way of a closed beta.

So, how long is the FIFA 23 beta? According to EA’s website, the beta will run from August 11th to September 1st. That gives lucky players nearly three full weeks with the game.

What Game Modes Are Included In The Closed Beta?

The closed beta will offer players the chance to test out some of the upcoming game’s key features. However, they won’t be able to access everything that will be in the final release version.

Still, it’s a great opportunity to get hands-on with FIFA 23 and see what all the excitement is about.

EA have said players with access to the beta will get to try the following game modes:

  • Kick-Off
  • Online Seasons
  • Online Friendlies
  • Practice Arena

They also stated that “Some players will also get access to FUT, Career Mode, VOLTA FOOTBALL or Pro Clubs.” Although, it’s unclear exactly how many people will get to try those FIFA 23 features.

– You can also add a secondary email address to your account. This helps you reset your password if you’re locked out of your EA Account and primary email address. You can find the Secondary Email section at the bottom of the Security tab.
