Football enthusiasts from all over the world are highly anticipating the release of EA Sports FC. While fans can't wait to get their hands on the game, many are wondering if it will be available as a free-to-play option or if there will be an entry cost involved.

If you're reading this, you won't have to wait much longer to find out, as we have all the answers below. In this article, you will discover whether EA Sports FC will be free to play upon its release and what steps you need to take to get the game yourself.

Is EA Sports FC A Free-to-Play Game?

To get straight down to brass tacks, at the time of writing, there is no indication that EA Sports will adopt a free-to-play model for the release of EA Sports FC.

Despite the end of the partnership between EA and FIFA, this should not affect the availability of the game in stores and online. EA is a popular video game publisher known for its sports titles like Madden, NHL, and PGA Tour, which have never been free-to-play. While EA Sports FC will serve as a fresh start for the football simulation franchise, it will probably follow the same purchase model as previous FIFA titles.

Although EA Sports FC will not be a free game, those with an active EA Play subscription can still expect certain benefits. Typically, EA Play members receive 10 hours of free playtime, which can be used for early access before the game's release. Additionally, they may enjoy a 10% discount on games. However, the specific offers for EA Sports FC have not been confirmed yet.

Considering the record-high sales numbers in recent years, EA does not need to switch to a free-to-play model for EA Sports FC 24. Therefore, from a business perspective, we anticipate that the new game will be priced similarly to recent FIFA games, implying that it is unlikely to be free.

However, it's important to note that this is all speculation at the time of writing. We will strive to keep you updated with the latest news on whether EA Sports FC will be available for free, although based on the aforementioned evidence, it seems highly unlikely. Stay tuned to this page for more news and updates as EA announces them, and we approach the release of EA Sports FC.
