The release date of EA Sports FC 24 has reportedly been leaked.
The game will be EA’s first football game since the end of its 30-year partnership with FIFA. Negotiations over a new deal between the two companies broke down last year.
As reported by The Mirror, it appears that the release date has been leaked. It has also been reported that there will be changes to the assumed title of the game and the length early access period.

EA Sports FC 24 will reportedly be released worldwide on Friday, September 29, according to the reliable leaker and dataminer @billbil_kun (via Dealabs), who has a reputation for announcing release dates for games in advance.
This is one day earlier than the FIFA 23 release, with EA apparently set to follow the release pattern of past FIFA titles. This leak also suggests that, just like we saw with the EA Sports FIFA series, the EA FC series will carry a number on the end of each title.
Previously the new game had only been referred to as EA Sports FC (EA FC), with the new game reportedly set to be named EA FC 24. Like FIFA 23, the leaker also announced that there will be two versions of EA FC 24 released, a Standard and an Ultimate Edition.
Players who buy the Ultimate Edition will receive seven days of early access to EA Sports FC 24, which is four days more than the FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition. The extended early access means players with the Ultimate Edition can reportedly start playing EA FC 24 from Friday, September 22, 2023, whilst EA Play members can also access their 10 hours of early access from the same date.
EA first confirmed its new game EA FC 24 with the launch of its official logo in April, taking on the shape of a triangle which has been a common theme in the FIFA timeline. More recently, David Jackson, VP of Brand at EA Sports, unveiled the first bit of information on gameplay in EA FC 24.
He confirmed that HyperMotion V will power the game, containing over 80x the number of animations in FIFA 23 as EA "blur the lines between virtual and real football". EA confirmed more information would be released on EA FC 24 in July, but it seems leakers have got their ahead of the publisher.
