FC 27 might land 8 days early if you buy the right version

A fresh leak just slapped a date on EA Sports FC 27, and the fine print rewards the people who pay up front.

According to a new report from Dealabs, the game is expected to hit shelves Sept. 25, 2026. Same report, same leak, spills the rest of it too: early access, pricing and which editions you’ll actually be able to buy.

Here’s the part that matters if you can’t wait. Ultimate Edition owners and EA Play subscribers may get in as early as Sept. 17. That’s up to eight days before the rest of us.

Don’t circle that early date in pen yet

The Sept. 17 window isn’t confirmed. And there’s a real chance the head start gets trimmed to seven days, which is exactly what happened with EA Sports FC 26. So temper the excitement accordingly.

If you’ve been through an EA launch before, you know how this goes. The premium crowd loads in first, posts everything, and everyone else watches from the sidelines counting down.

The price isn’t moving

Good news for your wallet, or at least neutral news. The cost is expected to hold steady.

PC and Nintendo Switch 2 versions run €69.99 in Europe. PlayStation and Xbox versions land at €79.99. So the console tax is alive and well.

The game reportedly shows up on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch too, which means the older hardware isn’t getting left behind this cycle.

And if you still like something physical on the shelf, disc editions are coming for PlayStation and Xbox consoles. The date’s a leak, not a promise. But it’s the most specific one we’ve got.
