EA Sports and FIFA parted ways and fans were left in dismay as the long-running football title releases its final game, FIFA 23. But fret not EA Sports has a plan. And that plan is EA Sports FC.

The company promised to carry on the legacy with their very own football title. Dubbed the next chapter in The World’s Game, it is set to be the next big thing.

With many confirmed leagues for both men’s and women’s football, EA Sports FC will be both option-rice and inclusive. And for the first time ever, there will no longer be a yearly release. Rather, a yearly update will be pushed out for each new season.

While there is much more exciting information to go through, let us take a deep dive into the title.

Is there a release date for EA Sports FC?

No, currently there is no definite date announced. Back on April 6, 2023, EA Sports announced the upcoming football title for the fans. And it was everything they wanted. While there is no release date fixed, the developers left a glimmer of hope.

On the official website of EA Sports FC, there is a registration tab at the bottom of the page. That tab says “JOIN THE CLUB THIS JULY.” While nobody has a concrete idea as to what that means, there are speculations to be had. Most likely, in the coming month, EA Sports FC could be open for either pre-registration or some sort of open beta.

  • Ultimate Team
  • Career Mode
  • Pro Clubs
  • VOLTA Football

While EA is retaining all of these features, the names might vary for some of them. For example, recent leaks stated that Ultimate Team is going to be named Football Team FC. And, Pro Clubs might appear as CLUBS. Since all of these are speculations, you should consume such news with a grain of salt.

More Hero and Icon cards coming to the game

If the recent leaks are true then it will be massive news for the players. According to them, female footballers might be added to the game in its Ultimate Team format. And, mixed teams might even become a reality in the upcoming title.

To add, some new Heroes and Icons are set to be added too. Among those names are Dimitar Berbatov, Arjen Robben, Sir Bobby Charlton, etc. Another Icon will return to the game. Due to some contractual issues, the Brazilian veteran Zico was removed from FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. However, in EA Sports FC, Zico is set to return as one of the in-game Icons. While these are also speculations, leaks are solid and most probably these will come to the game.
