February 10, 2023

EA SPORTS FIFA 23 Global Series

We’re committed to delivering the best possible experience to our fans and players across our upcoming FGS 23 Playoffs and ongoing tournaments with over 30+ league partners. With this in mind, we made the difficult decision to cancel the Midseason Major and focus on our upcoming competitions.

This FGS 23 Mid-Season Major cancellation will not impact other events in the program and we look forward to eChampions League, CONMEBOL eLibertadores, eLaLiga Santander, ePremier League, Virtual Bundesliga, and remaining competitions in the lead up to the FGS 23 Playoffs on The Road to the FIFAe World Cup 2023™.

The planned prize purse of USD $500,000 for the FGS 23 Mid-Season Major will be added  to the competition as follows:

FGS23 Playoffs

Additional $120,000 for a total of $420,000

Qualifiers

Additional $280,000 for a total of $721,000 across all qualifiers.

FGS23 Leaderboard

Additional $100,000 to top qualifiers.

Following the conclusion of the second online FGS23 Qualifier, $100,000 will be allocated to 20 players who would have qualified for Mid-Season Major: 

  • Top 8 from Europe
