We're rapidly approaching an official EA FC 26 announcement from EA Sports, but we already know a lot about EA FC 26 pre-orders.

EA FC 26 is the next instalment of the EA Sports FC series, replacing EA FC 25 as EA Sports' lead football title when it's released later this year. A leaker revealed that EA FC 26 will be released worldwide on September 26, 2025, but according to leaks, like the last few years, you can play EA FC 26 a week in advance thanks to the EA FC 26 pre-order bonuses.

Alongside the early access, there are a bunch of other bonuses that players can get for pre-ordering EA FC 26, with leakers revealing all of this on social media. Here's everything we know so far about EA FC 26 pre-orders, including an expected pre-order date, price and leaked pre-order bonuses.

EA FC 26 pre-order release date

There have been no leaks yet regarding the EA FC 26 pre-order release date, but based on past releases, we expect that players will be able to pre-order EA FC 26, both the Standard Edition and Ultimate Edition, from Wednesday, July 16. EA tends to make pre-orders live when it makes its first announcement about the new game, which for EA FC 25, was the reveal of the EA FC 25 cover.

EA has released its first official announcement around mid-July over the last few years, so we expect the same will happen again this year, on the same day of the week (Wednesday) as EA FC 25's announcement.

EA FC 26 leaked pre-order bonuses

Leaker

the EA FC 26 pre-order bonuses in June, leaking all the cool items you can get with your EA FC 26 pre-order of the Ultimate Edition. As well as your seven days of early access, players who pre-order will also receive FC Points and a free Icon. But, the leaker has also revealed that if you want the Icon included in your pre-order bonuses, then you must pre-order EA FC 26 by August 26, 2025.

According to the leaker, the EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition pre-order details are as follows:

  • x1 base Icon player item (untradeable)
  • FC Points (4,600-6,000)
  • Seven days early access
  • Season 1 Premium Pass access
  • Additional Evolution slot from launch
  • x1 93+ Icon player pick (1 of 5) & x1 Evolution (both rewards given in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team)

The leaker claims that the FC Points received will range between 4,600 and 6,000, while don't get too excited, the 93+ Icon player pick is a reward given in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team, so no, you won't be getting some crazy head start in EA FC 26.

EA FC 26 pre-order prices

Price-wise, we don't think that EA FC 26 will cost more than EA FC 25. These are our expected EA FC 26 pre-order prices:

  • EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition | PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch 2: £99.99 / $99.99 / AU$149.95

  • EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition | Nintendo Switch: £69.99 / $69.99 / AU$119.95

  • EA FC 26 Standard Edition | PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch 2: £69.99 / $69.99 / AU$109.95
  • EA FC 26 Standard Edition | Nintendo Switch: £54.99 / $54.99 / AU$89.95

We aren't too sure on the EA FC 26 price for Nintendo Switch 2; if the game has feature parity with PlayStation, Xbox and PC, we can see it costing the same. If not, we expect it will cost the same as how much EA FC 25 costs on Nintendo Switch.
