The Apple TV show ‘Ted Lasso’ has proven to be one of the most popular and well-liked series of the last few years, introducing viewers to a lovable cast of characters whose lives and storylines largely revolve around the fictional English Premier League football club, AFC Richmond.
Through its first two seasons, the series has taken home numerous awards, including the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2021 and 2022, with several of its actors – including Jason Sudeikis, Brett Goldstein, and Hannah Waddingham taking home awards for original performances. Now, Ted Lasso reaches into a new realm: video games.
The web series will probably launch the last series number three soon, but this superhit web series has now got to be a full-featured team in FIFA 23. So the rumour fans heard is correct, and Ted Lasso is included in FIFA 23 along with AFC Richmond.
Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond in FIFA 23
As you’d expect, Richmond won’t be a part of the Premier League in Kickoff, Online Friendlies and Online Seasons and will instead be located in the Rest of the World section. Players Roy Kent, Jamie Tartt, Sam Obisanya and Dani Rojas will all be in the squad.
Ted Lasso’s AFC Richmond features as a free team in FIFA 23, and the team is not gated or directed to a paid channel. You get access to the team in Career Mode and the other Kick-Offs, friendlies, and seasons as well. You can pick Lasso himself as the manager in Career Mode. However, the Ultimate Team Mode won’t feature AFC Richmond players in FIFA 23.
You’ll be able to select Jason Sudeikis’ beloved Ted Lasso character as a usable manager in Career Mode, and AFC Richmond will be playable in Career Mode, Kickoff, Online Friendlies, and Online Seasons. EA adds that “a number of AFC Richmond items including kits, tifos, Manager items, and other content will also be available to unlock across FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) and Pro Clubs where applicable.”
