EA FC 26 Closed Beta

EA is kicking off the Closed Beta for EA FC 26 on August 8, 2025, giving players an early hands-on experience with the new football title ahead of its official launch.

The beta will run until August 26, offering fans a limited-time chance to test out key gameplay changes and features, and provide feedback directly to EA.

EA FC 26 Closed Beta Key Details

• Start Date: August 8, 2025 (Friday)

• End Date: August 26, 2025 (Tuesday)

• Duration: 18 days

• Platform: Expected on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch 2 (no confirmation on PC access)

• Access: Invite-only via email code

How to Get EA FC 26 Beta Code

Getting access to the beta isn’t guaranteed, but you can increase your chances by signing up for EA’s communication emails:

1. Go to the official EA website

2. Sign in to your EA account

3. Navigate to Account Settings

4. Click on Communication Preferences

5. Enable: "Email me about EA’s products, news, events, and promotions"

6. Save changes

7. Add your preferred platform (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, etc.)

Note: This only increases your chances. Codes are sent randomly, and prior participation (like in the FC 25 beta) does not guarantee access this time.

When Will Codes Be Sent?

• Beta Code Send-Out Date: Rumored to be August 4, 2025

• Codes will be emailed to selected players

• Make sure to check spam/junk folders too

Is This the Same as Open Beta?

No. This is a Closed Beta, which means:

• Access is restricted via invite-only

• Not everyone will be selected, even if you opted in

• It’s not public — you may also be under NDA (no streaming or sharing content)

Whether you’re aiming to test gameplay, scout new features, or just want an early kickabout, the EA FC 26 Closed Beta is the first real taste of what’s to come this season. Just make sure you’ve opted in and cross your fingers for that invite.
