Be like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, play EAFC 25 before anyone else!

The fever for EA SPORTS FC 26 is already felt in the air and thousands of players are looking for a way to step onto the virtual field as soon as possible.

Although the official launch is scheduled for September 26, 2025, there are ways to get ahead and start enjoying the title days before. Be like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and play EAFC 26 before anyone else!

According to official information from Electronic Arts, those who reserve the Ultimate Edition will have early access from September 19. This means a full week advantage over those who purchase the standard version.

In addition to being able to play earlier, this edition includes rewards within Ultimate Team, exclusive items and more benefits for those who want to start with everything from day one.

Another option to play early is to have a subscription to EA Play. This service offers a 10-hour trial starting on September 19. For the most impatient, it may be the best way to get a feel for the new gameplay and explore the main modes without waiting for the full release. Subscribers to EA Play Pro, available on PC, have even more advantages: full access to the full game from the same date, with no hour limit.

As is customary, digital platforms will allow you to preload the game a few days before. This way, when access is unlocked, players will be able to jump right in without waiting for long downloads.

And for those who cannot access before, EA announced the arrival of EA SPORTS FC 26 Showcase, a free and limited version that will allow you to test the experience from the day of launch.

Methods are circulating on social networks to “unlock” the game before changing the time zone of the console to regions such as New Zealand. However, these tricks are unofficial and could pose risks to the user's account. It is best to opt for EA's official channels.

Long story short.

Virtual soccer fans are already counting the days. The question is: will you be on the field from the 19th or will you wait for the initial whistle on the 26th?
