As the FIFA 23 release date<\/a> nears, EA is beginning to reveal key information about the game, and today we\u2019ve been told who the FIFA 23 cover stars will be \u2013 on the Ultimate Edition, at least!<\/p>\n

As you\u2019ve probably already heard, this will be the final FIFA game that EA Sports develops. From next year onwards, EA will be rebranding its yearly football game as EA Sports FC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, you could say that this year\u2019s FIFA covers are even more coveted than usual. Which player\u00a0wouldn\u2019t<\/em> want to grace the box of such a key entry in this world-famous franchise?<\/p>\n

Keep on reading, then, and we\u2019ll get straight to today\u2019s news about the Ultimate Edition cover stars for FIFA 23.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s on the FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition cover?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

EA has confirmed that Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 and Sam Kerr will be the joint cover stars of the FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition. You can take a look at their cover below:<\/p>\n

Mbapp\u00e9, of Paris Saint-Germain and France, is no stranger to FIFA covers at this stage. You will have seen him on the box for last year\u2019s FIFA 22 as well as FIFA 21 from the year before, so it makes sense to have him back for FIFA 23.<\/p>\n

Kerr, who plays for Chelsea and the Australian women\u2019s team, is more of a surprise, and a very welcome one at that. Her appearance on the FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition cover will make her the first female footballer to ever grace a FIFA box all around the world.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time a woman has appeared on a FIFA box in any form, though \u2013 Alex Morgan appeared on the American box art for FIFA 16, while Christine Sinclair graced the Canadian version, and Stephanie Catley was on the Australian version. Those were only available in select regions, though, so it certainly marks a step forward to see Kerr on the box all around the world\u00a0<\/em>for this year\u2019s Ultimate Edition.<\/p>

Who\u2019s on the FIFA 23 Standard Edition cover?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

EA has not yet confirmed who will be gracing the covers on the FIFA 23 Standard Edition, but we\u2019ll be sure to update this page when that information is revealed to the public.<\/p>\n

With this being the final FIFA game from EA, it\u2019s easy to imagine hardcore fans of the franchise flocking to a physical copy this year, just so they can say they have it. When pre-orders go live, then, we\u2019ll let you know.<\/p>\n
