EA Sports FC launches September 29, 2023, according to a new report.

Reliable leaker billbil-kun revealed the release date alongside the expected Standard and Ultimate editions of the upcoming football game. Those who buy the expensive version get a week’s worth of early access from September 22, while EA Play subscribers get a 10 hour trial. IGN has asked EA for comment.

With EA’s FIFA no more, there is pressure on EA Sports FC to continue the gargantuan success the series has enjoyed over the years. Ahead of the announcement of the breakup last year, EA boss Andrew Wilson reportedly insisted the only value FIFA brought to the series was “four letters on the front of the box”. FIFA, for its part, has promised to put out its own game.

Little else is known about EA Sports FC, though it’s unlikely to significantly change the FIFA formula that served EA so well. Money-spinner Ultimate Team and its controversial loot boxes are expected to continue, and EA Sports FC will retain many existing official licenses, such as the Premier League.

EA is expected to officially reveal EA Sports FC news later in July.
