The football season isn’t over…
But players are already looking ahead.
Because EA Sports FC 27 is almost here, and the first details have finally leaked ahead of the official reveal.
First things first…
Mark your calendar.
According to the latest information, the Standard Edition launches on September 25, 2026. If you buy the Ultimate Edition, you’ll be able to jump in as early as September 17 through early access.
Now here’s the part that will divide the community.
Many fans expected EA to finally leave the old generation behind.
Instead…
FC 27 is still coming to PS4, Xbox One and the original Nintendo Switch, alongside PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC. That means developers are once again building the game across multiple generations instead of focusing entirely on next-gen hardware.
What about the price?
No major surprises.
The game is expected to cost €79.99 on PlayStation and Xbox, while the PC and Nintendo Switch 2 versions are expected at €69.99.
But the biggest rumor isn’t about graphics.
It’s about a brand-new mode called…
The Grounds.
Leaks suggest it could introduce an open-world experience, giving players a completely different way to interact with the football universe beyond traditional matches. EA hasn’t revealed exactly how it works yet, but it’s already one of the most talked-about features.
And yes…
Kylian Mbappé is back.
The Real Madrid superstar has officially been revealed as the cover athlete for the Ultimate Edition, making another appearance as the face of the franchise.
The full gameplay reveal is scheduled for July 23, where EA is expected to unveil new mechanics, game modes and the first official gameplay footage.
So the big question is…
Will FC 27 finally feel like a true next-generation football game… or is it just another yearly update with a fresh cover?
