Kick Off Mode


Kick-Off is a mode that lets players enjoy classic matches or explore different game types using any team. It is often seen as the most entertaining mode, especially for relaxed sessions with friends, reminiscent of the early days of football gaming when things were simpler.

The FC 27 Kick-Off mode provides an easy and accessible way to jump straight into a match. It is ideal for those who want quick action without dealing with the complexity of other game modes. Once inside, players can pick from several match types such as exhibition games, tournaments, or custom cups.

A key advantage of Kick-Off is its flexibility. Players can select their preferred teams, adjust settings like stadium, weather, and time of day, and even add special house rules for unique challenges. This versatility suits both casual players and those seeking a more tailored experience.

Whether the goal is to enjoy a quick match with friends, recreate famous rivalries, or test new lineups, Kick-Off mode delivers a fun and dynamic experience. Its simple interface and wide range of customization options make it perfect for every skill level, offering exciting and fast-paced matches in just a few clicks.

To keep track of your head-to-head results and stats against AI opponents, it is recommended to create a Kick-Off Name. Connecting it to your console account allows you to access your data from any system.

When choosing a side, you can either use an existing name or create a new one using the virtual keyboard. Once linked to your console account, your Kick-Off progress and statistics will automatically sync, ensuring consistent records across sessions.

How To Link Kick Off Names

  2. Select [Link Kick Off Name];
  3. From the list of Kick Off Names, choose which one you’d like to link or merge.

  • Mystery Ball
    One of FC’s most original modes! When the ball goes out of play, it returns as one of five ‘mystery balls’: a Shooting, Passing, Dribbling, Speed, or All-Boosy ball. Each ball gives a boost to the dribbler and their team. Mystery ball point values also increase later in the match. Are you ready to try your luck?

  • King of the Hill
    Hold the ball and run up the score! Gain possession of the ball, then remain inside the designated zones on the pitch to increase the value of your goals. Your goal value slowly ticks back to zero again outside the zones. Do you have what it takes to become the king?

  • No Rules
    A free-spirited, rules-free match of football where the refs can’t fouls, offsides, or bookings. Everything is fair in this free-for-all mode.

  • Headers & Volleys

  • Survival
    Only the strong survive. When a team scores a goal, a player from the goal-scoring team is ejected – excluding the keeper. Only two red cards are allowed per match. AI players are always ejected first. Do you have what it takes to outlast your opponent?

  • Long Range
    Show off your long range skills. All goals airmailed from outside the box earn double the points. Inside the box? Goals still count as one.

  • First To…
    Fastest player to score wins. Unload a barrage of shots on your opponent’s goal!

There are two additional features you can use on this screen:

  • Live Form
    Live Form in FC 27 Kick Off mode syncs your team’s lineup and formation with your club’s real-life stats using an internet connection. It can even generate a match scenario based on your favorite club’s upcoming fixture. You can toggle this feature on or off at any time.

Select Kits


Each team has up to three kits available, and you can freely decide which ones to use. However, avoid selecting kits with similar colors, since that can make it difficult to tell the players apart during the match.

Make the Final Adjustments


Before starting the match, take a moment to review your setup. You may want to adjust your team lineup, formation, player roles, or substitutions, as well as game settings such as match length, difficulty, stadium, and weather conditions.

You can also explore pre-match statistics for both you and your opponent, including metrics like average possession, preferred attacking zones, and fastest goal scored.
