Will there be an EA FC 24 beta?

Since the release date of Electronic Arts’ new soccer franchise EA Sports FC 24 got leaked on July 5, players have been waiting to get their hands on the beta and see what EA has been cooking up for FIFA‘s replacement.

EA Sports FC 24 will officially launch on Sept. 29, the publisher revealed on July 13 in Amsterdam. When EA was still partnered with FIFA to develop the FIFA soccer series, fans got to try out the beta more than a month prior to the worldwide release. But is EA going to follow the same procedures for EA FC 24?

Here’s everything we know about the EA FC 24 beta.

EA FC 24 beta release date

At this time, EA has not confirmed if EA FC 24 the game will actually have a beta period. But the developers of the FIFA series for two decades will likely apply a similar methodology to this game as they have done in recent years. A reliable leaker named Aggiornamenti Lumia also revealed the size of the beta, so we know EA is planning to run a beta period for EA Sports FC 24 despite not announcing it just yet.

EA usually held a closed beta for FIFA more than a month before the title’s official release and it’s likely that the publisher and developer use the same strategy for EA Sports FC 24 as this will be its first game after parting ways with FIFA in 2022.

Based on the release date, we will likely get a closed beta for EA FC 24 between Aug. 1 to 15. This would give the developers enough time to collect players’ feedback and round out any rough mistakes before the launch. The invites for FIFA closed betas were limited, so all you can do is hope EA invites more players for the first edition of EA FC.
