The launch of EA SPORTS FC 26 is just around the corner, scheduled for September 26, 2025. Fans of virtual football are already touching it with the tips of their fingers, as the Ultimate Edition will allow early access from September 19 and EA Play members will be able to enjoy a 10-hour trial before the official launch.
EA has listened to the community’s feedback and has introduced significant changes to the game, focusing on improving the quality of life compared to its predecessor, EA SPORTS FC 25. The modifications include adjustments to animations, defensive schemes, and game modes, with the aim of providing a more enjoyable and satisfying experience for players.
The week of evaluations
A highlighted aspect on the road to launch is the ‘Ratings Week’. EA SPORTS has begun to reveal the ratings of players from the Premier League and the Barclays Women’s Super League, highlighting performance based on real matches. This information will allow football fans to familiarize themselves with the players who will have the greatest impact in the game. Throughout this week, a top 26 of standout footballers from both leagues will be published, allowing players to better understand the form of their favorites.
Starting Friday, EA will open an official forum for the community to share their impressions on these ratings, providing a channel of communication between players and developers. This initiative aims to encourage constructive feedback that helps improve the game before its release.
Finally, interested parties can now reserve their copy of EA SPORTS FC 26 on multiple platforms, including PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Amazon Luna, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, thus ensuring their early access to one of the most anticipated titles of the year.
