EA has opened pre-orders for EA Sports FC 27 on PlayStation 5Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One and PC. Owners of the Ultimate and Ultimate Plus editions get about a week of early access before launch, according to a pre-order guide from Dot Esports.
On PC, the game is available through the EA app. Steamand Epic Games Store, but the Ultimate Plus Edition is not sold on Epic. Pre-orders cost the same as the launch day price and include bonus items that are removed after a limited period.
Dot Esports notes that pre-order bonuses and edition content vary, so buyers should compare editions before purchasing.
What the reservation includes and how to do it on PS5
Pre-ordering does not change the base price. According to Dot Esports, bonuses include a debut ICON or special FUT item pack for Ultimate Team, approximately one week of early access for Ultimate and Ultimate Plus owners, FUT Premium Packs, loan players, and club customization items. These items have a limited duration and disappear after a set period.
The early access window applies only to the Ultimate and Ultimate Plus editions, not the standard edition.
EA FC 27 can be pre-ordered on PS5 via the console or a browser. On your console, log in to your main PSN account, open PlayStation Store, search for EA Sports FC 27, select an edition, and complete the purchase. The game then appears in the game library in “Your Collection” with a countdown and the preload is usually unlocked a few days before release.
Using a browser, log in to the PlayStation Store website, search for the game, select an edition, and complete payment. The download will be available in the PS5 library once preload is activated.
How to pre-order on Xbox Series X, S, One and PC
On an Xbox console, sign in to your Microsoft account, open the Microsoft Store app, search for EA FC 27, select an edition, and confirm your purchase. The title appears in the library, with preload available once EA enables it.
Through the Xbox website or Microsoft Store, sign in, search for the game, select an edition, and complete payment. On the console, the game appears as “Ready to install” in My Games & Apps when preloading is available.
Pre-orders for PC are available through three stores and the choice affects the availability of the edition. The Ultimate Plus Edition is not on the Epic Games Store, so buyers who want that edition must use the EA app or Steam.
- EA app: Install the EA app, log in, search for the game, select an edition, and confirm your pre-order. The game appears in the EA App Library with a launch timer and is unlocked with preload before launch.
- Steam: Open the Steam client or website, log in, search for the game, select an edition, add it to cart, choose “Buy for me” and complete the order.
- Epic Games Store: Open the Epic Games launcher or website, sign in, search for the game, select an available edition, and complete the payment.
Points to check before pre-ordering and availability
Before pre-ordering, buyers need to confirm some details because edition content and platform availability differ:
- Please confirm which edition includes the early access window, as it applies only to the Ultimate and Ultimate Plus editions.
- Please check platform-specific edition availability, as the Ultimate Plus Edition is not sold on the Epic Games Store.
- Check that FUT and Ultimate Team bonus items are transferred to the platform where the game will actually be played, as Ultimate Team progress is tied to the platform’s ecosystems.
- Please note the expiration time of pre-order bonus items, which Dot Esports says are removed after a limited period.
- Confirm the payment method on your chosen storefront before pre-loading, so that your download is ready when the pre-load window opens a few days before launch.
EA FC 27 pre-orders are now available on all platforms listed. Dot Esports has not published the confirmed release date or exact Early Access start date in this guide. Preload time depends on when EA enables it per platform.
Buyers should check the countdown or release timer in their platform library after pre-ordering for specific preload and release times in their region.
