EA Sports FC 24 Release Times: When Can Football Fans Dive into the New Era of Football Gaming?

The year 2023 marks a significant change for football gaming enthusiasts, as it is the first time in over 35 years that a new FIFA game hasn't been released. However, EA Sports FC 24 is set to kick off a new era for football gaming, and the excitement among fans is palpable.

Despite the change in the game's name, EA Sports FC 24 remains a powerhouse in the world of football gaming, retaining licenses for all major leagues and featuring the beloved game modes and match types that have become a staple for franchise fans. The anticipation is high as fans eagerly await the release time for EA Sports FC 24 to experience it for themselves.

Release Time for EA Sports FC 24 Standard Edition

For those who have pre-ordered the standard edition of EA Sports FC 24, the game will become playable at approximately midnight local time on September 29. However, the release times may vary slightly by region:

• Players in American countries can access the game at midnight EDT.
• European, African, and Middle-Eastern countries will kick off at midnight CEST.
• Asian and Oceanic countries will begin playing at midnight JST.

Preloads for the game have already commenced in all regions, which is a promising sign given the game's substantial file size of 47.8 GB on PC and next-gen consoles. The Nintendo Switch version, with a file size of 26.9 GB, is considerably smaller but offers fewer features.

Release Time for EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Edition (Early Access)

Those who opt for the Ultimate Edition will enjoy the privilege of playing EA Sports FC 24 up to seven days before the standard release. For Early Access players, EA Sports FC 24 will unlock at midnight EDT on September 22. This translates to:

• 05:00 BST
• 06:00 CST
• 14:00 AEST

Players residing to the west of New York and Toronto will gain access even earlier, with the game available from 21:00 PDT and 22:00 CST respectively. It's worth noting that EA Sports FC 24 offers "up to" seven days of early access, allowing for some variation in the exact release time.
