Back in FIFA 16, EA SPORTS took a major step by introducing Women\u2019s football to the franchise with international teams like England, the United States, Germany, and beyond. Things have expanded quite a lot since then, with the introduction of Women\u2019s club teams and a career, Sam Kerr being the first female athlete to grace the FIFA cover, female players being used in Pro Clubs, and we\u2019ll also be getting the Women\u2019s World Cup in FIFA 23 too. Even though EA SPORTS might have their eye on the future with EA SPORTS FC replacing FIFA following FIFA 23, they are still adding new levels of women\u2019s competition to the game. FIFA 23 getting UWCL mode in \u201cearly 2023\u201d That\u2019s right, at long last, FIFA fans will be able to dive into the Women\u2019s Champions League knockout stages in FIFA 23, as EA has now gotten the exclusive rights to the competition. This add-on will come once the calendar turns over from 2022 to 2023, with players being able to play as former winners Olympique Lyonnais F\u00e9minin as well as Real Madrid Femenino, Chelsea Women, Manchester City Women, and many others. There is no release date mentioned for the mode beyond \u201cearly 2023\u201d so it\u2019ll be a case of keeping an eye out for more details. Seeing as this is a multi-year deal, we\u2019ll see the Women\u2019s Champions League follow EA SPORTS over to their new venture \u2013 EA SPORTS FC \u2013 likely with additional rounds and teams involved. This could also mean that EA has plans to expand the current women\u2019s career mode moving forward as well. In FIFA 23, you can only start a career mode with a team from the Women\u2019s Super League \u2013 the English league \u2013 or Division 1 Arkema \u2013 which is the French league. The developers have promised future updates for FIFA 23 to expand this, but, at some point, their focus will shift to the next step in the franchise. There, we hope, there will be plenty more women\u2019s teams to use \u2013 including the NWSL and Liga F, the American and Spanish divisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FIFA 23 is finally getting UEFA Women\u2019s Champions League \u2013 but there\u2019s a catch EA SPORTSEA SPORTS are bringing the Women\u2019s Champions League to FIFA 23 and beyond, giving players the chance to experience the highest level of European competition.
