Highlights EA Sports FC 25 is set for release in September 2024, although you can play a week early with the Ultimate Edition.
The game will be available on various consoles, including PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
FC 25 introduces new features like Rush mode, Live Start Points, and women’s football in career mode.
EA Sports FC 25 is set to be one of the most popular games of 2025 as EA brings the football world to gaming once again. It’s the second iteration to be named ‘EAFC’ after EA ended its deal with FIFA in 2023. A name does not particularly matter, but EA will be hoping to build on from EAFC 24.
On the 17th July 2024, EA released the first key details for the game, meaning gamers have just over two months to wait until they will be able to get their hands on the game. Every year, it seems to be a cycle of excitement and intrigue. The fundamentals of the game never change; it can’t, considering the basic laws of football have been in existence for over a hundred years, but they are continually tweaking other features.
Due to this, and with EAFC 25 set to try to replicate the excitement of the Champions League and Premier League, we have outlined everything you need to know about the game, focusing on the price and how you can play. It’s set to be an exciting time for football lovers around the world.

Playable from 20th September
As is almost always the case with EAFC, the game is expected to be released at the end of September, barring any delays. It is essentially the earliest date possible, as it comes just a handful of weeks after the close of the transfer window. The official worldwide launch of the game is on the 27th September 2024, which will see thousands of people rush to the nearest game store to purchase it.
However, if you opt to purchase it digitally, you will not have that problem, and if you buy the Ultimate Edition or have EA Play, you will be able to play it a week earlier, on the 20th September. This will give you a headstart over everyone else, particularly on Ultimate Team, but it does come at a financial cost.
