FC 27 Lite


For nearly 20 years, EA released a Demo version of its football game each year, allowing players to try it before launch. This changed with FIFA 21, when the traditional demo was discontinued.

EA later introduced FC Showcase, a free preview featuring selected and rotating content. In FC 27, this concept has been replaced by FC 27 Lite, which is available alongside the full game from launch.
