EA SPORTS FC 27 has its general launch on 25 September 2026, on PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch / Switch 2. On PC, Electronic Arts gives 24 September at 23:00 UTC — 25 September 00:00 in Europe/London. Digital stores may differ by a few minutes.

Ultimate and Ultimate Plus editions had up to seven days of early access from 18 September (on PC, 17 September 23:00 UTC). On 20 September 2026 that access is already under way for buyers of those editions. It is not the standard launch.

The social Grounds mode, including Clubs, is announced for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC and Nintendo Switch 2, not the previous generation. Virtual points and pre-order bonuses are not the base game.

The company requires an internet connection and, on PC, about 100 GB on an SSD, according to product pages. Minimum specifications should be read before purchase; they are not invented here.

The “Buy” page is a shop. The source is EA’s article on editions and release dates.

No unattributed screenshots and no Metacritic scores. The standard game is not yet live for everyone.

25 September remains the general date. Early access does not move it.
