It hasn’t been the best of years for EA Sports, but with the FC 27 release date around the corner, they’ll be hoping to turn things around.
Fans will be hoping for an overhaul to the gameplay, and perhaps a bit less monetisation in this year’s game.
If you’re looking forward to seeing what EA has in store for us this time around, here’s everything you need to know about FC 27, including when it might release, when you can pre-order and more.
FC 27 release date speculation
The FC 27 release date is yet to be confirmed by EA Sports.
That being said, based on previous years, it’s safe to assume that the game will launch on the last Friday of September.
Last year, for example, FC 26 launched on Friday, 26 September 2026, so it may just be a matter of applying that to this year.
As such, we believe that FC 27 will launch on 25 September 2026.
Naturally, this is just speculation, and we won’t know for sure until EA officially announces it.

FC 27 early access
While not yet confirmed, it seems likely that FC 27 will have early access for certain players.
In previous years, players who have purchased the Ultimate Edition have been able to play the game seven days early.
Applying that to the release date above, then we can assume that FC 27 early access could open on 18 September 2026.
Can I pre-order FC 27?
At the time of writing, you cannot currently pre-order FC 27.
Typically, pre-orders open over the summer, closer to the game’s release date.
We’ll update this page as and when it happens, so be sure to check back later.
Is there a trailer for FC 27?
Unfortunately, there is currently no trailer for FC 27.
We would expect to see one released at some point in August, as EA begins the marketing for this year’s game.
