EA Sports FC expected release date, pre-order date and EA Play early access

The highly-anticipated EA Sports FC is set to have its release date confirmed soon, whilst players will also find out how they can access the game early.

As FIFA 23 approaches the end of its cycle, all attention from EA and FIFA fans turns towards the publisher's next release, EA Sports FC. The brand-new football game will be the first of a new series of games made by EA, with its FIFA releases coming to an end after 30 years following a split between EA and FIFA last year.

As we enter the month of July, the hype surrounding EA FC is really starting to build, with EA expected to announce more information regarding its new game this month. We've already seen the official EA FC logo, but EA gave fans a first glimpse of the new game itself recently when David Jackson, VP of Brand at EA Sports announced EA FC will be powered by HyperMotion V, the best technology used in a football game to date.

Players are extremely excited about what is to come and can't wait to get their hands on the new EA FC game, but when will we be able to play the game? Let's take a look.
