A recent leak reports EA Sports FC 27 is scheduled to arrive on Sept. 25, 2026, with early access opening on Sept. 17 for Ultimate Edition buyers and eligible EA Play subscribers. The leak includes platform listings, pricing and notes the return of physical disc editions.

The report lists versions for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, a Nintendo Switch 2 and PC. Physical discs are said to be planned for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Xbox consoles.

Pricing in the material places the standard edition at $69.99 in the United States.

The leak does not specify the cost of the Ultimate Edition or the exact benefits tied to early access.

The leak claims early access will begin eight days before launch; the exact length of early access has not been confirmed. EA has previously offered seven-day early access windows for its sports titles. The report identifies Ultimate Edition purchasers and eligible EA Play subscribers as the groups expected to receive early access.

The material also repeats earlier claims that the game could include an open-world mode. No details were provided about how an open-world feature would function or which game modes it would affect. EA has not confirmed any gameplay changes.

EA has not issued an official announcement on release date, pricing or features. If the September date is accurate, a company statement is likely in the coming weeks. Until EA confirms, the reported launch timing, platform list and prices should be treated as unverified.
