FC 27 is expected to release on September 25, 2026, and pre-orders will officially open soon. Whether you're a seasoned Ultimate Team veteran or a Career Mode enthusiast, understanding the various editions, bonus content, and platform options is crucial to getting the best deal.

This guide will provide everything you need to know before FC 27's release, including the various editions, pre-order bonuses, and how to choose the one that best suits you.

Release Date and Early Access

EA SPORTS FC 27 is expected to release on September 25, 2026, continuing the series' tradition of late September releases. However, players who choose the premium edition or certain subscription services will be able to experience the exciting matches earlier.

Ultimate Edition of the game offers players up to 7 days of early access, allowing them to play the game as early as September 18, 2026. This early access window gives loyal fans ample time to build their teams and master the new game mechanics before the full release.

However, some reports suggest Early Access period might begin on September 17th, offering up to 8 days of early access, but a 7-day Early Access period is generally considered more reliable.

For players who don't want Ultimate Edition, EA Play subscribers can also experience the game early. It's expected to launch on September 18th, offering members 10 hours of gameplay. This is an excellent way to experience the game before deciding whether to get the full version.

PC players with an EA Play Pro subscription will receive access to Ultimate Edition on the same day Early Access period begins.
