The EA SPORTS FC 27 Ultimate Plus Edition is EA's most expensive version of FC 27, but it's also the only edition that includes Premium Passes for the first five seasons, 10,000 FC Points, and every major pre-order bonus EA is offering this year. It's available only as a limited-time pre-order until 31 August 2026, after which it will no longer be sold.

If you mainly play Ultimate Team and usually buy FC Points or Premium Passes throughout the year, Ultimate Plus bundles those purchases into a single edition. If you mostly play Career Mode, Clubs, or casual FUT, the Ultimate Edition may provide better overall value for less money.

What is the FC 27 Ultimate Plus Edition?

The Ultimate Plus Edition is a premium digital edition sitting above the Standard and Ultimate Editions. It includes:

• Up to 7 days Early Access
• 10,000 FC Points
• Premium Passes for Seasons 1–5
• Exclusive Ultimate Team rewards
• Career Mode bonuses
• The Grounds cosmetics
• Additional FC 26 crossover rewards for eligible players

FC 27 pre-order bonuses

Pre-order rewards vary depending on which edition you purchase.

The Ultimate Plus Edition offers the largest bonus package and remains available only until 31 August 2026. Standard and Ultimate Editions have different reward sets, with fewer FC Points and Premium Passes.

When do you receive the 10,000 FC Points?

One important detail that many players overlook is how the FC Points are delivered.

The Ultimate Plus Edition does not give all 10,000 FC Points on launch day.

Instead:

• Your first FC Point grant is awarded after your first login.
• The remaining FC Points arrive on the 15th of each month.
• To receive the full 10,000 FC Points, you must activate the initial distribution before EA's stated deadline.

If you're buying Ultimate Plus mainly for FC Points, it's worth understanding this schedule before pre-ordering.

FC 27 release date & early access

Both Ultimate editions include up to seven days of Early Access, allowing players to start building their Ultimate Team before the Standard Edition launches.

EA SPORTS FC 27 launches on:

• PlayStation 5
• PlayStation 4

Should you buy the FC 27 Ultimate Plus Edition?

The answer depends on how you play FC 27.

Buy Ultimate Plus if you:

• Spend most of your time in Ultimate Team.
• Usually buy FC Points throughout the year.
• Plan to purchase every Premium Pass.
• Want every available pre-order reward.
• Intend to play during Early Access.
• Are a highly competitive player looking for the best possible head start over everyone else.

Consider the Ultimate Edition if you:

• Want Early Access without paying for five Premium Passes.
• Only buy FC Points occasionally.
• Mainly play FUT casually.

Buy the Standard Edition if you:

• Mostly play Career Mode or Kick-Off.
• Rarely spend money on Ultimate Team.
• Don't mind waiting until launch day.

For dedicated Ultimate Team players, Ultimate Plus can represent better long-term value than buying FC Points and Premium Passes separately. However, players who don't regularly engage with FUT's live-service content may find the additional cost difficult to justify.

5 things you should know before buying the FC 27 Ultimate Plus Edition

1. It's only available as a pre-order

The Ultimate Plus Edition isn't a permanent version of FC 27. EA has confirmed it will only be available until 31 August 2026, after which new purchases will no longer be possible.

2. You get up to 7 Days of early access

Ultimate Plus includes up to seven days of Early Access, allowing you to start playing on 18 September 2026, ahead of the global launch on 25 September.

3. You won't receive all 10,000 FC Points at launch

Although Ultimate Plus includes 10,000 FC Points, they're not delivered all at once. EA distributes them across five monthly drops, with the first grant arriving after your initial login.

4. It's the only edition with five Premium Passes

Unlike the Ultimate Edition, which only includes the Season 1 Premium Pass, Ultimate Plus comes with Premium Passes for Seasons 1 through 5, making it the most complete edition for long-term Ultimate Team players.

5. It's not available on every platform

The Ultimate Plus Edition isn't offered everywhere. At launch, it's not available on Nintendo platforms or the Epic Games Store, so be sure to check platform availability before pre-ordering.
