FIFA 23 – Women's World Cup 2023 update confirmed with brand-new game mode
EA Sports has revealed a 2023 Women's World Cup update will be coming to FIFA 23 this month ahead of the start of the tournament in July.
The 2023 Women's World Cup promises to be the biggest Women's World Cup in history, with the tournament being held in Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to August 20, 2023. The highly-anticipated tournament will be the first since 2019, where the United States lifted the prestigious trophy in France.
With the start of the 2023 Women's World Cup quickly approaching, EA will be celebrating the tournament by releasing a Women's World Cup-specific update in FIFA 23, with a brand-new, never-before-seen game mode being added at the end of the month called Lead Your Country. Like the 2022 Men's World Cup that also received an update in FIFA 23 last year, players will be able to use any of the 32 qualified nations across a host of different game modes in the most immersive Women's World Cup experience in EA Sports FIFA history.
FIFA 23 cover star Sam Kerr is the face of the Women's World Cup update, with the Australian striker looking to lead her country to victory on home soil. Here's everything we know about the FIFA 23 2023 Women's World Cup update.
FIFA 23 2023 Women's World Cup update explained
EA has confirmed that the 2023 Women's World Cup update will be going live in FIFA 23 at the end of June, although it hasn't specified an exact date yet. It has confirmed that the update will be free for all FIFA 23 players. There's no confirmation on whether the added game modes will leave the game following the tournament's conclusion, but with the 2022 Men's World Cup game mode still available, we assume it will remain.

With no women's players currently in Ultimate Team, we won't be getting a Women's World Cup promo or event in FUT. But, we are getting something that may excite most FUT fans even more: a brand-new game mode.
The Lead Your Country game mode allows players to control one specific player from any of the qualified nations, or their own custom avatar, and attempt to lead their selected nation to success. A bit similar to a Player Career Mode, players are given the option to control one player or the entire squad as they try to win the World Cup.
As well as the new game mode, an authentic 2023 Women's World Cup tournament mode is being added into FIFA 23 as part of the update, while all 32 nations will be available to use in Kick Off. To make sure the World Cup experience is as real as possible, custom stadium dressings, new cinematics, match presentations, dedicated commentary, and the authentic Women's World Cup trophy to lift at the end will all be added in the update.
