FC 24 FAQ
The answers to the most common questions about Football Club 24.
Pre-Order
You can pre order in the biggest retail stores, like Amazon, Game and Best Buy, or directly on the console’s store.
Pre orders are accepted until the day before the launch date.
You can pre order FC 24 as soon as it becomes available. Pre orders started on July 13, 2023.
If your choice is to buy a physical copy of FC 24, we don’t need to explain how to do it: go to a retail store or order from the internet, insert the disc in your console, log in to your Origin account (or create a new one) and start playing it. On the other hand, if you opted in for the digital version of FC 24, things are slightly more tricky:
How to Buy a Digital Copy of FC 24
How to Buy a Digital Copy of FC 24
- Go to the Origin, Steam, Stadia, or console store of your region and search by ‘FC 24’;
- Choose one of the editions and make the payment;
- Log in to your Origin account and start playing it.
If you pre order the physical version, the disc will be dispatched so you receive it on the launch date. The digital version is playable at midnight on the release day.
Contrary to the FC 24 trial, the full game is unlocked at midnight in your console’s region. This applies to both editions. That’s why Australian players start playing FC 24 first than European players.
When you pre order FC 24, you don’t pay any extra cost. You will pay the same as you would pay if you buy it in the release date.
Prices vary according to the edition, platform, region, store, promotions, discounts and other factors. If you want to know all FC 24 prices you should check our dedicated page.
No. You can order the game but you won’t get the free offers.
Pre-download is available for those who pre-ordered the game. Go to your console’s library to see when it will become available. If you are buying the game after the launch date, a download is immediately available.
No. If you are an EA Play subscriber and you already downloaded the trial, all you have to do is to download a small file on the launch date (or Ultimate Team early access date) to unlock the full game.
It depends on your platform and internet connection. Most likely, it will take one to two hours to download the full game. You can try some features (not Ultimate Team) before the download ends.
If you are downloading the trial, we strongly recommend waiting until the download is complete. If you play while downloading, you will be wasting part of your 10 hours limit.
If you are downloading the trial, we strongly recommend waiting until the download is complete. If you play while downloading, you will be wasting part of your 10 hours limit.
You need around 100Gb of available storage space.
Yes. These offers are available for pre-orders and expire on the release date.
All pre-orders come with loan player items and a career mode boost. Ultimate Edition also includes early access, FC Points and untradeable special items.
When you pre-order the Ultimate Edition, you receive all the offers included in the Standard Edition plus:
- Dual Entitlement;
- TOTW 1 Player Item;
- Cover Star Loan Player;
- Pack Ambassador Player Picks;
- One Clubs Unlocked PlayStyles Slot;
- Additional Player Career Personality Points;
- One Manager Career 5-Star Coach available for hire;
- 7-days Early Access;
- 4,600 FC Points;
- Access to Nike Ultimate Team Campaign;
- TOTW 1 Ultimate Team Player Item;
- Untradeable Hero Item (limited time offer)
(exclusive for pre-orders made before August 20)
No. Ultimate Team mode is available in any edition.
No, FC 24 is not free to play. You have to buy it. In 2024 it will be made available for free on the EA Play catalogue and eventually on PlayStation Plus.
If you share your console with someone, the rewards will be assigned only to the account used to buy the game. There is no way to change this.
If you are a FIFA fan you definitely should buy FC 24. However, you can expect a game with the usual issues, like slow servers and lots of bugs. On the other hand, if you are a casual player and you are looking for a football/soccer simulation video game, FC 24 is still a good choice. If you are not a football fan, then many other games can make you much happier than this one.
Prices
Price varies according to several factors, like platform, region and store. As a reference, the regular price for consoles is €109.99, $99.99, £99.99 (Ultimate Edition) and €79.99, $69.99, £69.99 (Standard Edition)..
Yes. For most of the countries, prices are higher when compared to FIFA 23.
If you don’t want to buy FC 24 on its launch date because of its high price, the best thing to do is to wait until Black Friday or the Holiday season.
FC 24 prices during Black Friday usually drop up to 50%.
Football Club isn’t free to play, so you will have to buy it unless you are an EA Play Pro subscriber. FC 24 may be available on EA Play, Steam, and other services at the end of its yearly cycle.
EA Play subscribers and returning users have access to a few discounts. However, if you really want to save, the best you can do is to follow our method.
Early Access
Ultimate Edition is available from September 22 at midnight. If you want to buy it, you will need to pre-order it and do it before the official release date.
Those who pre-ordered FC 24 can go at any time to the console’s library to see when the pre-download becomes available. Usually, the Xbox download is made available several weeks before, while PlayStation users have to wait almost until the early access date.
Those who pre-ordered FC 24, can goto the console’s library and start the download when it becomes available.
The Ultimate Edition, which is digital-only, includes seven days of early access, FC Points, one untradeable TOTW item, player picks and other offers.
£99.99/€99.99/$109.99 for consoles and £89.99/€99.99/$99.99 for PC Origin/Steam. It represents 25% more than the standard edition. However, EA Play members and returning users can save 10% when pre-ordering this edition.
If you are an Ultimate Team fan and don’t mind spending a few dollars more, then this edition may sound interesting to you. It will give early access to the full game and other goodies like FC Points. Keep in mind that FUT mode is available as well in the Standard Edition.
Most of the content, including FC Points, is available to download on the early access release date.
The Webstart is scheduled to nine days before the official launch. However, only returning users have access to this early access. The other ones have to wait until the game release date.
As long as you meet the requirements, all you have to do is to access the FUT Web App website or update the app you have installed on your mobile device. Note that you’ll need to start on the web app before you can use the mobile app.
No. If you played FUT 23, the Web App early access will be unlocked to you. However, you will need to log in on your console or PC at least once before October 16 to continue using both apps.
Rewards are based on your account’s good standing in the game, along with your player history, engagement, and account status. This is why your rewards may be different from your friends. Besides that, returning user rewards are tied to your specific console account. So, if you switch platforms or create a new account on the same platform, your rewards won’t carry over.
There are several ways to add FC Points to your FUT Web App wallet during the early access: clicking on the top right green icon; adding them using the console/PC, or claiming a console code.
Login Verification is a mandatory step before you can access the FC 24 Web/Companion App. If you never activated it, just go to your Origin account and enable it. Then, just confirm that was sent to you. As simple as that.
You need to subscribe to one of the EA Play plans and download the trial from the console’s store.
A yearly subscription costs £19.99/€24.99/$29.99, while the price of a monthly subscription is £3.99/€3.99/$4.99. However, if you only want a subscription for the month in which the FC 24 trial is active, the price will be as low as one dollar. Payment will be automatically renewed every month or year depending on what membership duration you choose.
EA Play holders have free instant access, at any time and as long as they keep being subscribers of the service, to the selection of games ‘The Play List’. They can also download and play a selection of EA games, including FC 24 before they’re released. Discounts and in-game rewards are the other advantages of this program.
FC 24 EA Play early access will be unlocked on September 22, 2023, at around 4 pm UK time. The windows pre-load time depends on the platform. To play the early access, subscribers just need to go to the store, search by ‘Football Club 24’, select your edition and press ‘Trial’. PC, Steam and Epic Games players can also do it through the EA Play Hub App.
With EA Play trials, players are playing the real game for a limited time before they hit the stores. If they purchase FC 24 once it releases, they can pick up right where they left off – their progress and stats carry over. Saved games and achievements/trophies earned during the Early Access will unlock once they purchase and log into the EA Servers with the final version of the game.
If you want early access to the game without any limitation, you will have to subscribe to the Pro Plan. The full game will be yours as long as you have an active subscription and even if you haven’t bought the game. However, this plan is only available on the PC-Windows platform.
If you have two consoles from different generations, you can play up to 20 hours with a single EA Play subscription. All you have to do is to download the trial for both consoles using the same account.

Only players who are invited will be able to play the closed beta. No one can guarantee you an invitation but you can improve your chances to be selected if you update your contact preferences and your game tester program.
FC 24 Beta is expected in mid-August and will last for around 3 weeks. Usually, EA sends two batches of codes: the first on the second week of August and the other one two weeks later.
Each invitation includes access to the Kick-Off mode and Pro Clubs, Career Mode, Ultimate Team or VOLTA. All these game modes are unlocked in the last few days.
Players have to be at least 18 years old and their console’s account must be from the UK or North America. They also must have a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S console, as well as an internet connection and an active subscription to either Xbox Live or PS Plus, depending on which platform they play. To be selected, they must have played FIFA 23 regularly.
By accepting the invitation, players are obliged to fulfil the agreement of the closed beta, which includes a confidentiality term. It forces the participants to not divulge any information regarding the game outside of the forum created for this purpose. Live streaming and image capturing of Closed Beta gameplay are against the rules.
Assuming you have received an invitation with a code, all you need to do is to go to your console’s store and use that code to start the download: ‘redeem codes’ for PlayStation; or ‘use code’ for Xbox.
You need to sign up for the EA playtesting program, apply for a specific session and wait for an invitation. For more details, read our step-by-step description published above.
Yes, it is. Always double-check if the site you are accessing starts with www.ea.com before inserting any credentials.
Selected players will receive an email one week before the session. In the case of FC 24, playtests occur from May to July.
Increase your chances by signing up for as many Playtest dates as you are available. Always be honest with your answers, and keep an eye on your inbox. EA is on the lookout for players of all abilities, genders, experiences, and backgrounds. You don’t need to be an expert or even a regular gamer. They want feedback from everyone.
Yes. Remote playtests are also available, so you can participate from the comfort of your own home.
If you are selected for a Playtest but can no longer attend, simply reply to the selection email with the date and time of your Playtest.
Beta
It is expected to go out on August 10 and lasts for around three weeks.
You need to be invited and dowload the game.
You can only play the game modes that are unlocked to you. Still, even if you haven’t been selected to test UT, you will have a chance to try it in the last week when all game modes are released for everyone (from August 23).
If you get invited, most likely it will be for the game modes you play most. However, this doesn’t happen all the time.
It’s only available in English. That’s one of the reasons why only players from countries in which English is the native language are invited.
The file you have to download is 39 to 42 Gb, no matter the game modes for which you have been selected.
No. Generally speaking, the players and ratings used in the FC24 Closed Beta are the ones from FIFA 23. Even if you find differences, it doesn’t mean that those ratings will be used on the final game release.
No progress made on the FC 24 Beta carries over to the final game. As soon as the final version is released, everything is reset.
For the players, it’s their first chance to play the new title but for EA it’s much more than that. FC 24 is very complex. It joins several game modes together, that have been developed over the years. There are several different teams responsible for developing determined projects and areas of the game that might or might not be integrated into the final product according to deadlines, the work’s quality and other economic and strategic factors. This means that these teams are not always working for the next title.
The whole project must be exhaustively tested out for them to make sure it works correctly. That’s why Electronic Arts usually invite a group of volunteers to test the game. After the adjustments regarding the first feedback period are made, the Alpha version is released. The game’s official release occurs at the end of September and always comes along with an update that’s supposed to fix the anomalies detected after the disks are printed out. Between one thing and the other, there’s the Beta.

Only players who were invited will be able to play the FC24 Beta. EA will send two batches of codes: the first on the second week of August, right before the Beta release date, and the other one two weeks later. Usually, it is available to preload for beta testers 24 hours before the opening date.

You need a direct invite to try out the FC 24 Beta. You cannot buy it from someone. A Beta code is created just for a specific player and it can’t be transferred or shared with another player. It won’t work in other accounts. If you found invitations for sale, you should know that they are not legit because invitations are always associated with the Origin account of the owner.
Stay alert to your mailbox, the one you use for your EA account, to see if you were invited or not. Pay attention to all account email folders, including spam. If you’ve changed your email address or no longer have access to the one you used to create your account, swap emails from one account to another.

In our opinion, if you are a fan of EA games, you should subscribe to EA Play. You will be saving when buying EA Sports FC 24 and have access to the trial. If you usually buy FC Points, it will be paid off very quickly. The only thing that we don’t think is interesting is the in-game rewards.
Yes, you don’t need EA Play to play FC 24. However, as an EA Play subscriber you get early access, FC Points discounts and exclusive in-game rewards.
You have two options: play the trial before the launch date; wait until it becomes available on The Play List.
FC 24 is expected to be added to The Play List and free to play to all EA Play members in May 2024.

Crossplay
Yes, crossplay is a new feature in FC 24. It allows you to connect and play with friends and members of this game’s community regardless of what platform they play on.
Crossplay in FC 24 is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC Origin, PC Steam and PC Epic Games; PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
No. Crossplay is only available for players on the same platform generation. PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC versions of FC 24 are cross-play compatible with one another, and PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of FC 24 are cross-play compatible with one another.
Assuming that you have the Crossplay enabled, the matchmaking will search for an appropriate opponent, and they may or may not end up being on a different platform than you.
In FC 24 cross-play is available in all game modes.
Yes, it has.
There are two ways to enable the crossplay feature:
- From the bottom right hand corner widget;
- From the matchmaking options settings screen
(customise> online settings > matchmaking options > online settings)
If you’ve already met them in-game, search for their name as usual. If you know them from playing other games, search for them in-game using:
- their Origin name if they’re playing on PC;
- their PlayStation Network Online ID if they’re on PlayStation;
- their Gamertag if they’re on Xbox.
Use the widget in the bottom right-hand corner to search for your friend by his platform or EA username as indicated by the on-screen button prompt. Once you have found your friend’s name, select him and choose the option to add him as a friend. Your friend should accept your request in the widget.
Assuming crossplay is enabled, you can select his name from your friend’s list in the widget and follow the button prompts to invite him to a match.
When you’re searching for a friend on the main menu widget, you will see a crossplay platform indicator beside his name. If your friend is on the same platform as you, the indicator will show the platform you’re on. If your friend is on a different platform, a different Indicator will be shown.
No, crossplay does not have any direct impact on the gameplay of FC 24.
When you enable cross-play and play within someone on another platform, that other platform may receive your platform’s ID and other information necessary to enable cross-play.
Yes, cross-play availability can potentially be impacted on a platform by platform basis by things like planned or unplanned maintenances, server releases, Title Updates, unexpected downtime, or matchmaking updates.
Carryover
It will start once FC 24 becomes available for EA Play subscribers or Ultimate Edition players.
Once you get into the new game, using the same account, you will be notified about the transferable items.
You can’t. If you haven’t played FIFA 23, you won’t be able to transfer your FUT club profile or FIFA Points.
It was reset. It usually happens when you skip a title or your profile is corrupted. This is particularly frustrating for Founders, players who are playing since the first FUT edition.
The first time you log in with the same account, the system recognizes you and you’ll see a pop-up that gives you the option to transfer your FIFA Points. You can accept it or delay that operation. From the moment you perform this transfer, you no longer will receive this message again and FIFA Points purchased in FUT 23 will not be transferred to FC 24 Ultimate Team anymore.
You can transfer your FC Points from FIFA 23 to FC 24, using a one-time transfer available until December 31, 2023. The earliest you can transfer your FC Points is during the EA Play trial or when you first log in to FC 24 once you have the full game. It is not possible to transfer FC Points on the Web and Companion Apps.
No. You can only transfer FC Points from FIFA 23 to FC 24 on the same console. You need to buy FC Points for the console you will use.
No. FUT Coins cannot be transferred between FUT 23 and FC 24. Using them to buy items won’t help either since they can’t be transferred as well.
Yes, it is.
To be able to maintain the transferable items in the new title, you need to use the same account. In other words, you need log in with the same console ID.
Yes. With the addition of FUT cross-play for FIFA 23, the FUT Transfer Market was expanded to include cross-platform functionality. The UT Transfer Market will now be combined within pools of platforms with the exception of PC and Switch, which will continue to have their own separate Transfer Markets.
Yes, but it is like you are playing different games. Your current data won’t be shared between different platforms.
No. Everything will start again once you play the final game for the first time.
Yes. When you are playing the EA Play trial, you are already playing the final version of FC 24. The only difference is the 10-hour limit.
A: Basically for three reasons:
- Playing the same game all over again is not challenging enough for most the players;
- EA needs to reset everything so that you make spend money again;
- To keep this a fair, competitive and sustainable game.
Double-check if you were not banned and contact the EA Support.
PC Requirements
Yes. Since last year, PC has the same next-gen features of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions.
To play FC 24 on Mac, the easiest way is to use cloud-based gaming services such as Boosteroid and Google Stadia. The other way of playing FC 24 on a Mac is to install Windows 11 on the Mac and then play the Windows version of the game.

Usually, each FIFA/FC features from 3 to 16 ambassadors, but in FC 24 it has more than 30 athletes It may include former players.
The first ambassadors are announced in mid-July when the new title is revealed.
A special package is crafted as a gift to FC 24 ambassadors and influencers. They receive this gift one week before the game release as a thank you and appreciation for their dedication and passion. Each case contains a PlayStation console with the FC pre-installed game and an Ultimate Team Kit.
These are the main three:
- Ambassadors
