FIFA 22 is a football simulation video game published by Electronic Arts. It is the 29th installment in the FIFA series, and was released worldwide on 1 October 2021 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.[1] Players who pre-ordered the ultimate edition, however, received four days of early access and were able to play the game from 27 September.

In response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, EA removed Russian national teams from all versions (since 1.22 patch) of its football video games, and made Russian and Belarusian players ineligible for FIFA 22, except for those playing in foreign leagues.[3][when?]
The online servers for the game for Stadia were shut down on 18 January 2023, whilst the online servers for all other platforms were shut down on 4 November 2024.[4][5]
