You don’t have to wait until September 27!
It’s almost that time of year again—when EA drops its latest football (soccer) game. If you’re itching to get on the pitch, we’ve got some exciting news: You can play EA FC 25 early, before its official release! Check out our guide to find out all the ways you can get a head start on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo.
How to play FC 25 early?
Here, you’ll find out how to play FC 25 early using two different methods. We’ll go over each in detail and indicate which platforms they work on.
Preorder the Ultimate Edition to play FC 25 early! (PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo)
The easiest (and most expensive) way to hit the pitch early is to preorder the Ultimate Edition of the game. It’s priced at $99.99 (or $79.99 on Switch) and has a pretty rich content. Apart from granting the ability to play the latest FC game early, it also includes plenty of FC Points (previously known as FUT points). These are essential for dedicated FIFA fans and cost significantly more when purchased separately.
Here’s the full list of items included in Ultimate Edition:
- Base Game
- Up to 7 Days FC25 Early Access
- Football Ultimate Team Player Loan Item
- Ambassador Loan Item
- Clubs PlayStyles Slot
- 250000 Clubs Coins
- Player Career Personality Points
- 3 ICONs in Player Career
- 5-star Coach in Manager Career
- 5-star Youth Scout in Manager Career
- 4600 FC Points (3850 FC Points on Nintendo Switch)
- Player Evolution Slot
- Early Access Rush Rewards
Refer to our EA SPORTS FC 25 preorder guide for more details.
If you’re a console player, you can use discounted Xbox, PSN, or Nintendo eShop Gift Cards to save on your purchase. These cards are often available for less than their face value, allowing you to enjoy additional savings.
Subscribe to EA Play Pro to get EA FC 25 early access (PC)
If you’re playing on PC, there’s an alternative way to get EA FC 25 early access. If you become a member of EA Play Pro, the top tier of EA’s gaming subscription service, you can enjoy the Ultimate Edition and additional perks for a monthly fee of $16.99. However, this option is only available for PC users, as other platforms only offer the basic tiers.
When does EA FC 25 early access start?
According to the schedule, FC25 early access will begin on September 20, 2024. The specific time hasn’t been announced yet, but we’ll provide an update as soon as this information is available.
