You get to try out cards you don’t own for a limited time while earning rewards for completing matches together. In FIFA 23, a few tweaks have been made to how you can invite friends to play co-op, but it’s still pretty straightforward.

In previous iterations, you could invite a friend to play co-op by pressing R2 (RT for Xbox ) in FUT, but in FIFA 23, pressing R2 will open a new social menu that shows the usernames of your existing friends. However, you can’t invite them from here anymore.

This guide will show you how to play co-op in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

How to Invite Friends on FIFA 23 Ultimate Team

• Launch FIFA 23 on your PS, Xbox or PC
• Select Modes and hit Ultimate Team
• Hit play within FIFA Ultimate Team
• Navigate to the bottom left beside “Moments” where you’ll see a new icon with two silhouette individuals. This icon indicates the new menu option in Fifa Ultimate Team called “Co-op Lobby.”
• Select this Co-op Lobby option, and you’ll see an option to “Invite a friend to play:” 
• Choose from your list of existing friends or search for a player tag to invite the one you want to co-op with, and then wait a few moments for them to accept.
• Once they’ve accepted, you can choose any of the three available modes to play. The modes include Squad Battles, Division Rivals and Online Friendlies.
