The release of EA FC 25 will take place in several stages, even for those who have not pre-ordered the game. So, here are the dates to remember:

- Friday, September 28: FUT Total Rush/World Tour event begins
Please note that the times could change in the event of a technical problem on EA’s side, which is very likely due to the significant traffic expected during the game’s launch.
Install the FUT App to get a head start
In addition to the possibility of playing on the transfer market, the EA Sports FC App allows you to start the adventure a few days before the game’s release. Indeed, the FUT Application gives access to your account from Thursday, September 19 at 7 p.m. Note that the app also allows you to discover daily objectives, DCEs, new cards but also to recover cards deleted by mistake.

How to play EA FC 25 early on Xbox?
For several years, it has been possible to play a few hours before midnight on Friday, while on Xbox. Indeed, this legal and free method allows you to change the location of your console to Australia/Oceania and thus play from Thursday afternoon.
The technique to change the location of your console to Australia:
- Go to the options menu on your Xbox (Series or One)
- Change language to English (Australia) Important to specify Australia!
- In the same menu, change the location to New Zealand or Australia
- Restart your console
You will be able to launch your game as early as Thursday afternoon (the 19th if you pre-ordered the Ultimate version of EA FC 25), otherwise as early as Thursday, September 26. Change the language and localization to French the next day.
Play a week earlier with EA Play Pro or Ultimate Edition
For all users (PC, PlayStation and Xbox), it is possible to start the adventure a week earlier (Friday, September 20) if you have a current subscription to the paid EA Play Pro program. This gives you access to the Ultimate Edition of the game, as if you had pre-ordered it. Be careful, however, because you will not get the 4600 FC Points on the first day but over three months.
Additionally, if you pre-ordered the EA FC 25 Ultimate Edition, the game is already pre-downloadable and will be playable starting Friday, September 20 at midnight.
