David Jackson, who works for EA SPORTS FC, said that it was a "monumental moment not only for the franchise, but for EA SPORTS as a whole."
He added: "FIFA 23 is our most innovative and feature packed title ever and we’re energised to have two of football’s greatest players share their love of the game with fans around the world."
Upon being picked, Kerr described the opportunity to feature on the cover as "a dream come true."
She said: "It’s an honour and a dream come true to be on the cover of FIFA 23.
"It’s been incredible to work with Kylian and the whole EA SPORTS team, and I can’t wait for fans to get their hands on a copy of the game."
