EA Sports FC 26 Release Date Reportedly Revealed

Typically, EA Sports FC 26 would be released at the end of September, given the pattern of the previous entries. However, a famous leaker by the name of Ahcanfut revealed that the release may be earlier than usual. While leaks are not official and EA Sports has made no announcement or confirmation, Ahcanfut is a well-known name in the EA FC community and has been accurate with leaks and rumors in the past.

According to Ahcanfut, the Ultimate Edition of EA Sports FC 26 will be released on August 23, 2025. It is not clear when the standard version will be released, although it would be a bit after the Ultimate Edition due to early access rights, and the typical pattern would be about a week, meaning an August 30 release date. He goes on to share that the game will be available for new and previous generations, meaning it should be released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and presumably Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 as well. Finally, there is a possible trailer release for the game coming at the end of May.

The launch and trailer dates were not the only rumored information to be dropped, though. According to the leak, EA Sports FC 26 will have changes to crossplay as well. Specifically, PC gamers will no longer be able to play with console gamers. With consoles, those in the same generation can match up. This is a change from FC 25, and is something that fans have requested for a while, to level out competition playing fields.

Final Thoughts

Keep in mind that all of the information in this article comes from a leak, and one that was translated from its original language. That means that errors could have been made in translation, and EA Sports has not confirmed anything, as it is their policy not to comment on leaks. That said, it appears that EA Sports FC 26 will be coming sooner than expected, and bring a much-requested change to crossplay with it. If both of these come true, fans of the series should be excited for the new entry.
