EA FC 27 Closed Beta: The countdown to EA Sports FC 27 is heating up, and this time, fans get an early hands-on taste before launch.

## When It Runs

The closed beta officially begins on August 5, 2026, and stays live through August 25, 2026 — a generous three-week testing window across multiple time zones.

- Set EA Sports FC as your favourite game
- Turn on promotional email notifications
- Watch your inbox for a beta survey or invite

## What You’ll Be Able to Test
