EA has opened pre-orders for EA Sports FC 27 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and PC. According to Dot Esports’ preorder guide, Ultimate and Ultimate Plus edition owners get early access about a week before launch.
On PC, the game is available through EA Apps, Steam, and the Epic Games Store, but the Ultimate Plus edition is not sold on Epic. The preorder cost is the same as the launch-day price and includes bonus items that are removed after a limited period.
Dot Esports notes that preorder bonuses and edition content vary, so buyers should compare editions before purchasing.
What’s included in preordering and how to preorder on PS5
Preordering does not change the base price. According to Dot Esports, the bonuses include debut ICON or exclusive FUT item packs for Ultimate Team, approximately one week of early access for Ultimate and Ultimate Plus owners, premium FUT packs, loan players, and club customization items. These items are time-limited and disappear after a set period of time.
The early access window only applies to the Ultimate and Ultimate Plus editions, rather than the Standard edition.
EA FC 27 can be preordered on PS5 via console or browser. On console, sign in to the main PSN account, open the PlayStation Store, search for EA Sports FC 27, select a version, and complete the purchase. The game then appears in the game library under “Your Collection” with a countdown, and the pre-load is usually unlocked a few days before launch.
Via browser, log in to the PlayStation Store website, search for a game, select a version, and complete checkout. The download becomes available in the PS5 library as soon as the pre-load goes live.
How to preorder on Xbox Series X, S, One, and PC
On an Xbox console, sign in to a Microsoft account, open the Microsoft Store app, search for EA FC 27, select a version, and confirm purchase. The title appears in the library, pre-loaded if EA has enabled it.
Via the Xbox or Microsoft Store website, log in, find the game, select a version, and complete checkout. On console, the game appears under “Ready to install” in My Games & Apps if pre-loaded is available.
PC pre-orders are available through three storefronts, and option version affects availability. The Ultimate Plus edition is not on the Epic Games Store, so buyers wanting that edition must use the EA app or Steam.
- ea app: Install the EA app, log in, search for a game, select a version, and confirm preorder. The game appears in the EA App Library with a release timer, and pre-loads unlocks before launch.
- Steam: Open the Steam client or website, log in, search for the game, select a version, add it to cart, select “Purchase for yourself” and complete the order.
- Epic Games Store: Open the Epic Games launcher or website, log in, search for the game, select an available version, and complete checkout.
Points to be verified before preordering and availability
Before preordering, buyers should confirm some details as version content and platform availability vary:
- Confirm which edition includes the Early Access window, as this only applies to the Ultimate and Ultimate Plus editions.
- Check for platform-specific version availability, as the Ultimate Plus version is not sold on the Epic Games Store.
- Verify that FUT and Ultimate Team bonus items transfer to the platform where the game will actually be played, as Ultimate Team progress is tied to the platform ecosystem.
- Pay attention to the expiration time on the preorder bonus item, which Dot Esports states is removed after a limited period.
- Confirm the payment method at the chosen storefront before pre-load, so that the download is ready when the pre-load window opens a few days before launch.
EA FC 27 preorders are now live on all listed platforms. Dot Esports has not published a confirmed launch date or exact early access start date in this guide. Pre-load time depends on when EA enables it per platform.
Buyers should check the countdown or release timer in their platform library after preordering for specific pre-load and launch times in their region.
