The wait is over for football gaming fans. EA SPORTS FC 26 is now available in full for EA Play members through The Play List. Subscribers to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass can dive into the most community-driven football experience to date.
What You Get with EA Play
EA Play members now have unlimited access to EA SPORTS FC 26, not just a time-limited trial. This marks a significant upgrade from the previous 10-hour trial period that was available at launch. Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers receive EA Play as part of their membership, making this a seamless addition to the service.
Members can also save 10% on digital purchases, including FC Points and other EA content. Progress from any prior trial carries over to the full game, so players can pick up right where they left off.
Exclusive Member Rewards
From June 18 through July 17, 2026, EA Play members can claim a special Supercharge Pack for use in Football Ultimate Team. Additional recurring rewards include Ultimate Team Draft Tokens and seasonal rewards for Clubs mode.
Overhauled Gameplay Experience
EA SPORTS FC 26 introduces a completely reimagined gameplay experience powered by community feedback. The game offers two distinct gameplay presets:
- Competitive Gameplay – Tailored for head-to-head action in Football Ultimate Team and Clubs, with faster passes, smarter goalkeeper rebounds, and more direct control
- Authentic Gameplay – Delivers the most true-to-football feel in Career mode, with defenders holding positions more realistically, realistic corner kick success rates, and lifelike goalmouth scrambles
The World’s Game: New International Tournament Mode
A major new feature in EA SPORTS FC 26 is a brand-new international tournament mode featuring 48 national teams and authentic new stadiums.
