Once you've pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition, you'll be able to pre-load the game in the days leading up to September 20, 2024. On that date, you can begin playing at midnight in your local time zone. From there, you can dive straight into FIFA 25 Coins Ultimate Team, start your Career Mode journey, or explore Clubs with friends.

FC 25 EA Play Trial

If you're not ready to commit to the Ultimate Edition, another option for early access is through EA Play, EA's subscription service. With an EA Play membership, you can play FC 25 for 10 hours starting from September 20, 2024. This trial gives you a taste of the full game across all modes, from Ultimate Team to Career Mode, letting you decide if you want to purchase the full version or upgrade to the Ultimate Edition.

For console players, a basic EA Play subscription is sufficient to gain early access, but PC players can opt for EA Play Pro, which gives them full access to the game starting September 20, without cheap FC 25 Coins the 10-hour limitation.
