EA Sports FC 27 Editions Compared: Standard vs Ultimate vs Ultimate Plus

keywords:

EA SPORTS FC 27 launches on September 25, 2026 [1], with players able to choose between the Standard and Ultimate EA Sports FC 27 editions. While a limited-time Ultimate Plus Edition was available for early-bird pre-orders, it is no longer for sale [2]. Both premium editions grant up to seven days of early access [3], but only the exclusive Ultimate Plus featured Jude Bellingham as a second cover athlete alongside Kylian Mbappé [1].

What does the EA Sports FC 27 Standard Edition include?

The Standard Edition is the starting point for anyone wanting the core EA Sports FC 27 experience. This package includes the complete base game [4]. Featuring Kylian Mbappé on the cover [1], it’s the straightforward choice for fans who want the full game without the extra digital content included in the premium versions.

One key difference is the release timing: the Standard Edition does not include the early access period offered with the Ultimate editions [4]. Instead, you can jump into the action on the official worldwide release date of September 25, 2026 [1].

This edition is available on all confirmed platforms [1]:

Ultimately, the Standard Edition delivers the complete base game without the early access or in-game bonuses of the Ultimate editions [4].

What does the EA Sports FC 27 Ultimate Edition include?

The Ultimate Edition is for fans who want to start their season before the worldwide launch. Its biggest perk is up to seven days of early access, letting you start playing on September 18, 2026 [3], ahead of the worldwide launch on September 25, 2026 [1].

Beyond early access, the Ultimate Edition adds digital content for Ultimate Team. Along with the full base game, you’ll get FC Points, a Player Evolution slot, and the Season 1 Premium Pass [5].

Like the Standard Edition, the Ultimate Edition includes the full base game and is available on the same platforms [1].

What did the now-expired Ultimate Plus Edition include?

The Ultimate Plus Edition was a limited-time offer available only during an early-bird pre-order window, which ran from July 23 to August 31, 2026 [2]. This top-tier version is no longer for sale as a standalone edition [2]. It bundled the benefits of the Ultimate Edition with additional digital content [1].

It included the same early access period, letting owners play up to seven days before the official September 25, 2026 release [1][3]. Its additional contents included:

Premium Passes for the first five in-game seasons
10,000 FC Points, distributed in instalments over five months
An 85+ OVR ICON International Player Item
A Hall of FUT Player Pick, offering a choice from five options
An additional Player Evo Slot
Career mode bonuses like a Dynamic OVR boost, additional ICONs/Heroes, scouts, and coaches
The Grounds Signature Sweatsuit and other player boosts

Visually, this edition also stood apart with unique cover art that added Jude Bellingham as a second cover athlete alongside Kylian Mbappé [1].
