The game is all set to launch on September 25, 2026
EA Sports FC has finally revealed EA FC 27 The Grounds, which is a new open-world mode pretty similar to NBA Park. This is the first time in the franchise that we are getting an open-world mode in the game.
Instead of just surfing the menus, players can explore the shared social hub, participate in different activities and enjoy different football experiences with their friends.
What is EA FC 27 The Grounds?
This is a new open-world social hub where players can create and control their avatar while also discovering different football-themed districts.
Instead of selecting from a menu of games, you’ll enter a real-world room populated with other people, football games, and interactive activities.
This will make you feel more connected, allowing players to easily socialize online, customize their characters, take part in different football activities, and have fun together.
