The release of EA FC 25 is not too far away. Here you can find all the information about the launch of the football simulation, and we will clarify when you can play earlier with early access.
When is the EA FC 25 release? Officially, EA Sports FC 25 will be released on September 27, 2024 – at least in the standard version. The Ultimate Edition of FC 25 will be available digitally on September 20, 2024.
We will show you the content differences between the two versions, including the various pre-order bonuses:

How can you play EA FC 25 earlier? Owners of the Ultimate Edition have the opportunity to start the game a full 7 days before the standard version and enjoy early access. However, early access is not only available with the Ultimate Edition.
If you are a member of EA Play, you will also have access to FC 25 starting September 20, 2024 – but only for a total of 10 hours. This is called the “10-Hour Early Access Trial” and counts every minute you have the game opened.
It is important here to close the game properly so that time in the menu is not counted.
In summary, there are 3 start times for EA FC 25:
- EA FC 25 Ultimate Edition: Release and start on September 20, 2024
- EA FC 25 Standard Edition: Release and start on September 27, 2024
- EA Play members: 10-hour trial starting September 20, 2024
Is there a preload? Presumably, as in the previous year, there will be a preload for FC 25 that will allow you to load the game onto your consoles a few days before the release. However, when this will start is currently unknown.
