EA Sports FC 27 Names Kylian Mbappé Cover Star and Sets Sept. 25 Launch

The Sept. 25 release with Sept. 18 early access for Ultimate pairs with a new social hub called The Grounds to broaden how players connect and play.

Overview

  • EA confirmed on Thursday that Kylian Mbappé will headline the EA Sports FC 27 campaign and serve as the face of both the main editions and EA Sports FC Mobile.
  • The company set a global release date of September 25, 2026, and said Ultimate Edition buyers get one week of early access beginning September 18.
  • The Grounds is a newly revealed social, open hub where players create avatars, play street and small‑sided matches, take part in minigames, visit shops and progress through levels and rewards.
  • Multiple outlets reported from the official trailer that Mexico’s Liga MX and its 18 top clubs will return to FC 27, though those licensing details have been publicized by EA’s marketing materials rather than an independent league statement.
  • Reported price tiers and an Ultimate+ edition remain unconfirmed estimates while EA has detailed some Ultimate benefits such as timed FC Points deliveries, season passes for Ultimate Team and exclusive early‑access perks.
