How to play early
While EA Sports FC 24 officially launches on Friday, September 29, 2023, players could gain access from Friday, September 22, 2023.
There is a time-limited free trial that will begin the same time as early access begins.
The whole game will be available to players for 10 hours, and the trial’s save data will be transferred to the full game if it’s purchased.
In order to gain access to the free trial, you will need to be an EA Play subscriber, which will also give you access to a number of other EA FC benefits.
Subscribers can unlock monthly Draft Ultimate Team Tokens, seasonal club rewards, Volta apparel, as well as credits.
You will also get 10% off in-game currency purchases, which, if you’re used to making UT pack purchases, will likely see you earn back your £3.99 subscription fee.

Salah has seen a one-point dip overall but remains the best right winger in the game.
Saka’s boost has also seen him enter the top ten for the first time, with impressive potential, though Kvaratskhelia is our one to watch for his huge potential.
Best left wingers – EA FC 24
- Kylian Mbappé – 91 OVR, 94 Potential
- Neymar Jr. – 89 OVR, 89 Potential
- Vinícius Júnior – 89 OVR, 94 Potential
- Heung Min Son – 87 OVR, 87 Potential

- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – 86 OVR, 92 Potential
- Jamal Musiala – 86 OVR, 93 Potential
- Jack Grealish – 85 OVR, 85 Potential
It’s not unusual to see Mbappé top charts, but Vinícius Júnior is a similarly good pick with the right training.
The one to watch here is Musiala, who starts with a respectable 86, but can climb almost to the top.
