EA PLAY OFFERS FOR FIFA 21
EA Play subscribers have access to four exclusive offers
EA Play subscribers can download and play a selection of EA games, including FIFA 21, before they’re released. No purchase necessary.
With EA Play, subscribers earn early access to all recent and upcoming EA games, including FIFA, NHL, Madden, Need for Speed and Battlefield series.
Subscribers can download and play a selection of games before they hit the stores.
The subscription gives access to Play First Trials, which are complete versions of popular games playable for a limited time. In the case of FIFA 21, it includes online and FIFA Ultimate Team features, but there is a limitation of 10 hours. During this time, it is possible to play, trade, sell, buy items and FIFA Points, which can be a huge advantage over the other players without early access. It is also possible to transfer FIFA Points from the previous edition. The trial timer will continue to count down even when the game is running in the background, so players should make sure to quit the trial completely when they aren’t playing.
On the other hand, EA Play Pro membership (Origin exclusive) gives full access to games as long as the subscription is active, without any time restriction.

With EA Play trials, players are playing the real game for a limited time before its release date. If they purchase FIFA 21 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.
FIFA 21 EA Play early access will be unlocked on October 1, 2020, at around 4pm UK time.
The windows pre-load time depends on the platform.
In order to play the early access, subscribers just need to download the game through the service’s dashboard once it becomes available. If the EA Play is not available at that time, you can go to the store, search by ‘FIFA 21’, select your edition and press ‘Trial’.
In the following table, you can see the early access dates from previous years (EA and Origin Access).

EA Play holders have free instant access, at any time and as long as they keep being subscribers of the service, to a selection of games ‘The Play List’.
The Play List is an evolving collection of PlayStation, Xbox and PC games included in EA Play membership. It features the latest EA games, as well as third party games, DLCs and expansion packs. The catalogue for the Pro plan is much larger and includes unlimited access to all EA games since its early release or release date.
The list of games available for both plans can be checked in this page.

For Play First Trials, members need an Internet connection. They can play some The Play List games offline, but they’ll need to periodically reconnect to EA to verify that they’re still members.
With EA Play, subscribers have unlimited access to an instant collection of great PlayStation, Xbox and PC titles, without any other type of restrictions. They are free to play them as much time as they want, at any time.
The games are downloaded straight to the system to ensure the best possible performance and can stay there as long as players have their EA Play membership (or until it’s time to clear out their hard drive for more games).
Note that not all The Play List games and Play First Trials can be played on a Mac.

EA Play Pro subscribers get free and instant access to the most expensive version of every game. In the case of FIFA 21, they receive the Ultimate Edition. They don’t even need to buy the game since it will be theirs as long as their subscription is active.

EA Play holders who own FIFA 20 for their consoles can pay 20% less when buying the Ultimate Edition, which is the version of the trial.
Subscribers who don’t buy the game, can play FIFA 21 early access until the full game release date or until they have played 10 hours, whichever comes sooner.
