The impending start of a new football season always brings news of a new addition to the long-running EA Sports franchise. If you can’t wait for EA FC 25, read on to check out our handy countdown timer.

EA FC 25 is the second installment in the series following the split from long-time partner FIFA and introduces major changes including a new five-versus-five Rush game mode, live-action content in Career Mode, highly requested community features in Ultimate Team, and much more.

EA FC 25 releases on September 27, but if you pre-order an Early Access edition, you can play the game seven days earlier than September 20.

While an exact release date for EA FC 25 has not yet been announced, we expect the game to follow the same pattern as other EA Sports games, with a phased worldwide release at midnight local time in your time zone.
