FIFA 23 launch time and date
It seems that FIFA 23 will be launching across PlayStation and Xbox consoles at 12am on September 30. This will be a simultaneous midnight launch across all regions, which does mean you can potentially change your Xbox account region to New Zealand in order to play the digital version of the game a little bit early.
Meanwhile, FIFA 23 will launch on PC and Origin at a set, specific time. You can find the release times for the standard PC version of FIFA 23 below. All below times are for September 30 unless otherwise stated.

If you’ve invested in the Ultimate Edition of FIFA 23, or you’re waiting on the ten-hour trial you can enjoy as part of EA Play (also included as part of Xbox Game Pass), then you need the Early Access launch time.
The Early Access launch date for FIFA 23 is September 27 at midnight local time across PlayStation and Xbox consoles. PC players in the West will be able to enjoy Early Access gameplay a little sooner though, at the following times, according to GamePro. All times listed are for September 26 unless otherwise stated.
