How to Play With Friends in FIFA 23
Kick Off
The easiest way to get things started without too much of a fuss, head to the Kick Off section in the main menu to get started. After downloading and applying online squads, you and your mates can select your sides, enhanced further by signing in with your accounts to track records more accurately.
After that, you can make your choice of game type from the following:
- Classic Match
- House Rules
- Volta Football
- UEFA Champions League
- Conmebol Libertadores
- Cup Final
- Home & Away
- Best of Series
House Rules is the game mode with the most flexibility when it comes to different experiences, with Mystery Ball, King of the Hill, or Headers & Volleys among others to spice things up.
How to Play With Friends in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team
FIFA Ultimate Team continues to be a big draw for many players, and you can challenge your friends by going to the Friendlies section under Play.
Choose from either local couch co-op or online play, select your teams, and get started. If you are looking to try out Draft, Division Rivals, or Squad Battles with a friend, you can always add a new player once a match has been found.
Similarly, you can start a co-op lobby and invite a friend to enjoy online co-op together, before seeking out a match in Rivals or Squad Battles as mentioned above.
How to Play Co-Op Seasons in FIFA 23
If you’ve got one friend you want to try and take on the world with, FIFA 22’s Co-Op Seasons are great fun. Together, you can choose a team and take on other pairs of players to try and reach Division One.
To do so, head to the Play part of the main menu, choose to continue an existing season or start a new one, then invite who you want to play with from the list. Then, just select the team you want and look for an opponent.
How to Play Pro Clubs with Friends
With Pro Clubs primarily made for multiplayer, getting started is an easy enough affair. Simply create your Pro, then join or create a team with your friends’ fellow Pros as well. Filling out a team of 11, each with their specific roles and position, is going to be tough, but if you succeed, it will be the closest thing to having a real-life kickabout.
Once the club is ready, you can then choose to join a match online and seek to beat other teams at the game. Just remember to pick the right position for your player.

Volta Arcade allows your crew to play a variety of party games in time-limited Arcade tournaments. And for Volta Battles, you can enjoy solo play or team up with friends in local co-op.
