Both tournaments will officially arrive on March 15, 2023, and will be available on all platforms. They will be preceded by a title update, so players should expect a server downtime.

The UWCL will be playable across both the Exhibition mode and Kick Off. The semi-finals and finals can be played at Kick Off as players can soak in the atmosphere and even hoist the trophy. The Tournament mode will start in the quarter-finals.

While these changes will improve the existing experience, FIFA 23 players hope that the UWCL will get an extended form soon.

Four big clubs in the form of Real Madrid, Wolfsburg, Juventus, and Eintracht Frankfurt will be added to the list of available UWCL squads. Players can pick one according to their preference.

These clubs will also be added to the list of all the existing WSL and DIF teams, all of whom will be playable in the Tournament mode.

The NWSL will become the third full-time women's league to be added to FIFA 23. The American top division will feature all 12 clubs as well as their authentic squads, kits, and more.
