FC 27 Pre-Order


EA Sports FC is a series of football video games released by Electronic Arts, replacing the old FIFA franchise. FC 27 aims to offer the most exciting and immersive football gaming experience ever created.

The game is worldwide released for the following platforms:


FC 27 officially launches on Friday, September 25, but you don’t have to wait long to purchase it. Pre-orders are available from July 15, 2026 (5pm UK time) until the day before the release date. When you pre-order FC 27, the disc will be dispatched on the release day, or you can start playing at midnight if you opt for the digital version.

The benefit of pre-ordering is that you pay the same price while gaining access to exclusive offers. However, if you don’t plan to play the game regularly, it might be more economical to buy it later, particularly during the holiday season when prices often drop.

  • It’s easier to switch between games;
  • Compatible with all consoles;

Frequently Asked Questions
You can pre-order FC 27 as soon as it becomes available. Pre-orders will start on July 15, 2025.
If you’ve decided to purchase a physical copy of FC 27, the process is straightforward: visit a retail store or order online, insert the disc into your console, log in to your Origin account (or create a new one), and start playing. However, if you opted for the digital version of FC 26, the steps are a bit more involved:

How to Buy a Digital Copy of FC 27
  1. Visit the EA APp, Steam, Epic Games, or your console store, and search for ‘FC 27’.
  2. Choose one of the editions and complete the payment.
  3. Start the download if it’s available. If you pre-ordered the game, check your console’s library to find out when the pre-download becomes available. Typically, PC and Xbox downloads are accessible several weeks in advance, while PlayStation users may need to wait until closer to the early access date. Those who installed the EA Play trial will need to download a small file to unlock the full game.
  4. Log in to your EA account and start playing.

Make sure to double-check which account you are using before placing an order. If you share your console with others, rewards will only be credited to the account that purchased the game, and they cannot be transferred. It is also essential that the account matches the one you currently use; otherwise, you risk losing progress from previous editions, including your FC Points balance.
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.
If you pre-order the physical edition, the disc will be shipped to arrive on the launch day. The digital edition becomes playable at midnight local time on release day, except on PC, where it unlocks worldwide one day earlier at 1 PM UK time.
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 26 first than European players. PC players get access at midnight UK time, which will be a different time depending on where you are.
When you pre order FC 27, 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.
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’re an EA Play subscriber and have already downloaded the trial, simply download a small update on the launch day (or Ultimate Team early access day) to unlock the full game.
The download time varies depending on your platform and internet speed, but it typically takes about an hour to get the full game. Some features (excluding Ultimate Team) can be accessed before the download finishes.

For the trial, it’s highly recommended to wait until the download is complete. Playing while it’s still downloading will eat into your 10-hour limit.
You need around 100Gb of available storage space.
Yes. These offers are available for pre-orders and expire on the release date.
Icon items are an exclusive offer for those who order the Ultimate Edition before August 25, 2026 at 9pm PT for PC and on August 25, 2026 at 11:59pm at consumer local time for all other platforms.
All pre-orders come with loan player items and a career mode boost. Ultimate Edition also includes early access, FC Points, EVO slots, Season 1 Premium Pass and untradeable special items.
Except FC Points, all other offers become available on September 18 or September 25, depending on your edition.

The pre-order pack with the Debut ICON will be available to open starting September 18 at 6 PM UTC.
You’ll receive your FC Points in three parts:
  • The first as soon as you log into Ultimate Team
  • The second by the end of the next month
  • The final one by the end of the following month
To get the full bonus – 4,500 FC Points on Nintendo Switch or 6,000 on other platforms – make sure to log in and complete the first step by June 14, 2027.

If you redeem after September 14, 2027, you won’t receive any FC Points.
When you pre-order the Ultimate Edition, you receive all the offers included in the Standard Edition (except the 92+ Icon for FC 26) plus:
  • Seven Days Early Access;
  • 6,000 FC Points;
  • Two Evolution Slots;
  • Untradeable Icon Player Item
    (exclusive for pre-orders made before August 26)
  • Season 1 Premium Pass;
    (exclusive for pre-orders made before August 26)
No. Ultimate Team mode is available in any edition.
No, FC 27 is not free to play. You have to buy it. In 2027 it will be made available for free on the EA Play catalogue and eventually on PlayStation Plus.
Yes, there is a FC game for both Nintendo consoles.
If your console is shared, rewards will be granted solely to the account that purchased the game, and this cannot be changed.
For FIFA/FC fans, purchasing FC 27 is an obvious choice. Be prepared, though, for typical challenges like slow servers and occasional bugs. For casual players seeking a football/soccer simulation, FC 27 remains a solid option. If football isn’t your thing, other games may provide a more enjoyable experience.
