The EA FC 27 release date is expected to be Friday, 25 September 2026. EA hasn't made it official yet, but the date is easy to call: EA Sports FC launches on the last Friday of September every year, and FC 27 is set to follow the same pattern. Treat it as expected until EA confirms it at the official reveal, usually around mid-July.
Quick facts:
Expected: Friday, 25 September 2026. That's a safe call even before EA says a word, because the series sticks to a fixed yearly slot — the last Friday of September:
The last Friday of September 2026 falls on the 25th, so that's the date to pencil in. EA usually locks it in officially at the cover reveal in mid-July, alongside the first Pitch Notes. Until then, every date on this page is an informed estimate based on the franchise's history, not a confirmed announcement.
The run-up to launch follows the same beats every year. Here's the expected schedule, working backwards from the 25 September launch:
| Milestone | Expected date |
|---|---|
| Official reveal | Mid-July 2026 (cover + Pitch Notes) |
| Closed beta | Early-to-mid August 2026 (invite-only) |
| FUT Web App | ~16 September 2026 (≈ 9 days before launch) |
| Companion App | ~17 September 2026 |
| Ultimate Edition early access | ~18 September 2026 (7 days early) |
| Standard worldwide launch | Friday 25 September 2026 |
These are estimates drawn from how FC 24, 25 and 26 rolled out. EA confirms the exact dates at the reveal — this page updates as each one lands.
EA Sports FC ships in two main versions each year, and FC 27 is expected to do the same:
An EA Play 10-hour trial also tends to open around early access, letting members play a limited slice before launch. EA hasn't set FC 27 pricing yet — expect it at the reveal. For reference, FC 26 launched at about $69.99 for Standard and $99.99 for Ultimate.
If you want to play the second it unlocks, the Ultimate Edition is the only way to start a week early. Otherwise the Standard Edition on 25 September is the same game for less.
For Ultimate Team players, the FUT Web App is the real starting gun — it usually opens about 9 days before launch (around 16 September). The mobile Companion App follows a day later.
Both let you log into your new Ultimate Team from a browser or phone before the full game is even out. That early window matters: you can claim returning-player rewards, open your first packs, list players on the transfer market, and start completing SBCs while everyone else is still waiting for launch day. Getting in early on the web app is one of the biggest head starts in the whole FC calendar.

EA hasn't detailed FC 27's features yet, so anything specific is unconfirmed until the reveal. Based on the franchise, you can reasonably expect the core pillars to return: Ultimate Team (FUT), Career Mode, Clubs, and the usual online and offline match modes. New mechanics, presentation changes and any fresh modes will be detailed in the mid-July Pitch Notes — we'll update this page when they're official rather than guess.
On PC, FC 27 is expected to keep EA's kernel-level Javelin anti-cheat (EAAC), as used since FC 24.
EA FC 26 launched on a wide lineup, so EA FC 27 is expected to cover a similar range (confirmed at reveal):
For reference, EA FC 26 was available on all of the above. EA could drop last-gen consoles (PS4 and Xbox One) for FC 27, so treat those as likely-but-unconfirmed until the reveal.
EA FC 27 is expected to release on Friday, 25 September 2026 — the last Friday of September, matching every recent title. The date is confirmed officially at EA's reveal, usually around mid-July.
The FUT Web App is expected to open about 9 days before launch — roughly 16 September 2026 — with the mobile Companion App following a day later. That's your earliest way into the new Ultimate Team.
EA FC 27 is expected on the same wide lineup as FC 26: PC (EA app, Steam, Epic), PlayStation 5 and PS4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, plus Amazon Luna. EA could drop last-gen consoles for FC 27, so treat PS4/Xbox One as likely-but-unconfirmed until the reveal.
