Football fans are eagerly anticipating the release of EA Sports FC 24, and now they no longer have to wonder about the exact unlock times. EA Sports has just confirmed the release times for FC 24 early access, a special perk for players who pre-order the Ultimate Edition of the game.
EA FC 24 early access release times for select time zones
While the official launch of EA Sports FC 24 is set for September 29, 2023, those who own the Ultimate Edition will be able to start playing as early as tomorrow, September 22, 2023.
EA FC 24's publisher has now released the exact release times across the globe.
The early access for EA FC 24 will start at 5am UK Time / midnight EDT on September 22, and 9pm PDT on September 21, 2023. This means that players on the East Coast of the United States will still be able to jump into the game on the evening of September 21, 2023.
Players who have purchased the Standard Edition of the game will have to wait until its full launch a week later.
Another way to start early without paying the premium price
However, there is another way for players to start early without paying for the Ultimate Edition. EA Play subscribers will be given a 10-hour free trial of EA FC 24, which can be started at the same time as the early access launches.
While waiting for the early access or the free trial to begin, players can already start building their ultimate teams using the EA FC 24 Web app and EA FC 24 Companion app.
