The next football simulation game, EA Sports, has officially announced its release date. Here is everything we currently know about EA FC 25, including its editions, cross-play capabilities, and pre-order bonuses.
EA’s team has returned bonuses for the preorders of EA Sports FC, complete with exciting new features and some intriguing alterations for players to experience after their initial solo endeavor.
After closely examining player input, the upcoming EA FC 25 game will feature Pro Clubs, Career Mode, Ultimate Team, and a few other features and changes. So, this is the information you need to find out when you can return to the field.
Date of release for EA FC 25
Following significant leaks and a great deal of fan conjecture, EA Sports officially announced that EA FC 25 will launch on September 27, 2024—nearly a year after EA FC 24.
With early access beginning on September 20, 2024, and a closed beta running from August 6, 2024, to August 27, 2024, the studio will have ample time to iron out any kinks before launching the much-anticipated football simulation.
Sites
EA Sports will release EA FC 25 on all platforms, just like they did with EA FC 24. This implies that it will be available for use on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
The previous game, which lacked HyperMotion V and cross-platform functionality, was the first EA title to be released on the Nintendo Switch in a complete, non-legacy edition. Whether every function will make it onto the Nintendo system this time around is still up in the air.
Unveil trailer
On July 17, 2024, the first trailer for EA FC 25 was made available globally.

Cover stars
Jade Bellingham will be the youngest athlete to grace the cover of an EA publication when he appears on the Standard Edition. Bellingham is shown executing his Belligol celebration in front of his home crowd at the Bernabéu during the El Clásico.
Along with the player, the Ultimate Edition will include 17 of the most significant football trophies in the world, such as the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Women’s Champions League, Ballon d’Or, Premier League, LALIGA, Liga F, Serie A, and Ligue 1, among many others. Legends David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, and Gianluigi Buffon will also be present.
An explanation of cross-play and cross-platform
Cross-platform play is available in EA FC 25, however it’s limited to certain game styles and same-generation systems. This implies that owners of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One can play with users of the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Regretfully, crossplay will not be available on the Nintendo Switch version, similar to the previous release.
Remember that only Pro Clubs, Co-Op Seasons, RUSH, Ultimate Team, and Online Friendlies and Sessions are compatible with cross-play among all the game modes that EA FC 25 offers.
You will have to start again if you start playing EA FC 25 on one platform and then switch to another because the game does not support cross-platform progression.
Is EA FC 25 going to be accessible in EA Play?
No, upon launch, EA FC 25 won’t be entirely accessible in EA Play. But, during the game’s early access, EA Play subscribers will be treated to a 10-hour trial.
Members of EA Play can also receive monthly Football Ultimate Team Draft Tokens, seasonal Club Rewards, 10% off FC Points, and other recurrent benefits.
