EA Sports FC 27 officially launches on September 25, 2026, across PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. But dedicated fans won’t have to wait that long — here’s how to get in early.

EA Play Gives You the Earliest Access
The fastest route in is through EA Play. Standard subscribers get a 10-hour trial starting September 18, 2026, on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. But if you’re on EA Play Pro, you can jump in even earlier — from September 17 at 3:00 PM, a full day ahead of Ultimate Edition access.
The best part? Nothing you earn gets wiped. Players, rewards, and Career Mode progress carry over fully once you upgrade to the full game.
EA FC 27: Ultimate Edition Early Access
Purchasing the Ultimate Edition also unlocks early access, though it lands one day later than the EA Play Pro window.
Web App Opens First
Ultimate Team fans should watch the Web App closely — it’s expected to go live 12 hours before the servers themselves. That window is prime time to open packs, knock out starter SBCs, and scout cheap meta players before the rush begins.
