EA Sports FC 25 Global Release Times Confirmed
EA Sports has confirmed the launch timing for FC 25 across its early access and global release dates on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
FC 25’s popular Companion & Web App launches on September 19, letting fans start their Ultimate Team club on the web, and a refreshed Companion App then launches on September 20. Ultimate Team 24 players get “a little something extra,” EA Sports teased.
If you pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition of FC 25 then you’ll get the early access launch. This kicks off midnight local time on September 20 on console, and from 5am UK time on September 20 on PC. As is standard for EA Sports’ FC series and the FIFA games before it, EA Play members get up to 10 hours of FC 25 via the trial from the early access launch. EA Play Pro (PC only) members, however, get unlimited access.
EA Sports said the early access period includes Team of the Week 1, Rush Objectives, Player of the Month SBCs, Special Evolutions, World Tour, and Squad Foundations releases. You’ll also have the opportunity to earn Season Points in the new FC Season.
The worldwide launch then follows from midnight local time on September 27 on console, and from 5am UK time on September 27 on PC. Check below for all the details.

EA FC 25 has a number of graphics options never before seen in the series, or its predecessor FIFA. The headline is the addition of ray tracing for the first time in either FC or FIFA, the latter of which was EA Sports’ football video game series before the company’s high-profile split from the world football governing body in 2022.
Alongside ray tracing comes a new graphics mode for FC 25, which gives players the choice between Enhanced Visuals or Favour Resolution. Enhanced Visuals features augmented lighting and graphic details in upscaled 4K resolution, whereas Favour Resolution features standard lighting in native 4K. It’s worth noting both graphical options offer 60 frames per second during gameplay to retain responsiveness.
In another first, FC 25 will show time progression during a match. For more, check out IGN’s roundup of all the changes FC 25 makes.
