Note - EA Sports first FIFA 23 Premier League POTM will come from August fixtures, so it's possible FIFA 23 will launch with a Ligue 1 POTM from August too.
In Ligue 1, Lionel Messi, Neymar and Florian Sotoka are up for the award and one of them could be included in FIFA 23 as player of the month. We'll put this page on hold until we have more info about EA's release plans in the lead up until launch.
Original Story Follows – EA Sports FIFA 23 release date is fast approaching and whilst the game might still be a few weeks away from launching we need to start thinking about those Player of the Month awards already. That’s because typically EA Sports’ first Player of the Month is for the month of September.
Here’s how it works: Each month Ligue 1 announce several players who they believe are the best performing players for a given month. Normally it’s all to do with clean sheets, goals, and assists.
After announcing a shortlist, it’s over to fans to vote on who you believe is worthy of the award. As well as earning a trophy from the league, EA Sports will also release a special Player of the Month item in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, which can be unlocked via a limited-time Squad Building Challenge.
FIFA 23 Ligue 1 POTM September Release Date
FIFA 23 won’t release until September 30, but that doesn’t really matter, as typically the POTM is normally announced half way through the following month.
So expect the announcement of the vote in the first week of October, with the winner revealed mid-way through October.
