As you can see, there are two crossplays, the first one is for Xbox One and PS4 consoles, so you can play certain modes between players on both consoles, while the second one is for all the rest of the platforms, namely PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Google Stadia. So if you're on PS4 or Xbox One, you won't be able to play with PC players or on the next-gen consoles and vice versa.
In addition, EA said that in FIFA 23, crossplay will be available at launch in FUT Division Rivals (except Co-Op), FUT Champions, FUT Ultimate Online Draft, FUT Online Friendlies (except Co-Op), FUT Play a Friend, Online Friendlies, Online Seasons (except Co-Op) and the Virtual Bundesliga competitive game mode which is available for players based in Germany. Cross play is initially enabled for all players when FIFA 23 is first launched, provided that the platform settings allow it, and can be disabled at any time.
As a reminder, it is already possible to pre-order Fifa 23 on all platforms ! The game will be officially released on September 30th.
