Video summary
The video provides a comprehensive breakdown of the critical dates and events surrounding the upcoming release of FC 27, emphasizing that September 14th is a pivotal day for players to mark on their calendars. On this date, EA is expected to release pitch notes that will reveal significant details about the game's launch update, including information on the new "Destined for Glory" promo and rewards for various modes like Champs, Rivals, and Squad Battles. These notes are anticipated to confirm leaks regarding the content roadmap, which outlines future promos such as Future Stars in Season 1, Ultimate Scream and Hall of Fame in Season 2, Winter Wild Cards in Season 3, and Team of the Year in Season 4. Additionally, this announcement will likely clarify how gallery tokens function to unlock Hall of Fame players and what specific league stats and play styles they possess.
Following the pitch notes, the release schedule continues with early access opportunities starting on September 15th, when the host plans to stream gameplay three hours after content goes live via his EA Creator Network status. The following day, September 16th, marks the debut of the FC web app, allowing players to open welcome backpacks and engage in initial trading or Squad Battles before the full game launch. On September 17th, EA Play subscribers can access the game ten hours early, though this method does not grant pre-order rewards; those benefits, including the 85+ Icon pack and Hall of Fame player pick, are reserved for the official midnight release on September 18th. The video also notes that the new season, tentatively titled "Ones to Watch," is expected to launch on this Thursday alongside the return of EA Play trials.
The official full release occurs at midnight on September 18th in each player's local time zone, triggering the distribution of all pre-order rewards and initiating a surge in market activity as players spend their FC Points on packs. The host advises that Squad Battles should be the primary game mode played immediately after launch to secure the first reward drop scheduled for September 21st, followed by Division Rivals rewards on September 24th. As the game enters its global release phase on September 25th, players can expect the "Destined for Glory" promo and a steady stream of content updates through October, including potential monthly FC Point drops and the introduction of Foot Champs. The summary concludes by highlighting strategic considerations for players, such as utilizing the New Zealand trick to access early gameplay without paying extra, while cautioning that pre-order bonuses will not be available until the official midnight release regardless of location hacks.

Hey guys, it's Nate aka the foot
accountant. Welcome back to the channel.
You guys know what time it is. It is
time to get prepared for FC27 by knowing
what is going to happen when. This is
one of my favorite times of the year.
And this video is a staple on the
channel. We've got our handy dandy
calendar here with confirmed dates, even
some exclusive ones that EA has revealed
to us themselves for this video. We're
going to talk about that and when you
can get on FC27. There are three
important dates to know surrounding that
and then also some of our first reward
times to help you know what modes to
play first when you get into FC27. If
you're excited for this game to come
out, guys, drop a thumbs up on the
video. Subscribe to the channel if
you're new so you don't miss any of our
FC27 preparation content and hyped video
as well. Let's dive right in by looking
at where we just were just a couple of
days ago on the 10th of September. We
had play styles officially announced. We
had ratings. Now we have play styles as
well. If you missed the video, we talked
about how play styles just changed the
way we look at all these cards. Make
sure you go back and check that one out.
But all play styles are out except for
those on icons and these hollow foot
cards officially at least. There are
leaks. Now, what's coming next is what
we're really interested about and that
is this upcoming Monday, the 14th of
September. This is a huge day for
Ultimate Team news because we are going
to be getting the launch update pitch
notes. EA literally just revealed this
to me in the last couple of hours. We
are going to be getting these pitch
notes on this day, which will tell us so
much about what we're going to get in
FC27. Last year, we learned about the
World Tour Silver Superstars, everything
from the first season, which we have
some leaks for right now, and rewards.
That's going to be huge as well. You can
expect to hear information about the new
Destined for Glory promo that we're
going to be getting. Alongside of that,
the rewards for champs, for rivals, for
squad battles. Again, they've said this
year that more coins and tradable packs
are going to be a part of rewards. We
should actually see what they mean
inside of these pitch notes. We should
also get more information about the
gallery and how gallery tokens are going
to allow us to unlock these hall of foot
players. These are the league stats and
play styles for those hall of foot
players. if you have not seen them.
That's not even the whole team, but
that's just some of them there. And of
course, we should be getting one of the
biggest pieces of information, a content
roadmap or a live service road map, I
think they're going to be calling it.
Guys, this is probably going to confirm
the leak that future stars is going to
be one of the first promos that we have
this year. It is not going to be after
team of the year. It's going to confirm
Ultimate Scream and a Hall of Foot promo
in season 2, winter wild cards in season
3, and team of the year in season 4. And
this should reveal a bunch of other
information as well in terms of stuff
that EA is going to be adding to the
game. That's one of the things that was
leaked from this summer that EA hasn't
talked about a whole bunch, but I think
they did mention in a couple of their
videos is like a a service roadmap kind
of showing you where they're going to go
with content this year. So, I'm very
interested to see where that goes and
what information they do tell us on the
14th. That's going to be a huge, huge,
huge day of information from everything
that we're going to learn. And then
it'll be a short turnaround until we're
actually in the game. And that's what
the 15th is going to be. The 15th, guys,
we will be here on the channel live
streaming FC27.
It'll be starting 3 hours after content.
That's when we'll be able to go into
Ultimate Team. I'll be able to start my
ultimate team and figure some things out
so that when everybody else gets on the
game, I know it doesn't feel good when
somebody else is getting early access. I
understand that. I'm super lucky to be
able to get this opportunity through the
EA Creator Network, but the way that I
look at it is I'm starting my ultimate
team and I'm going to be looking for
stuff inside of the game like the
gallery, the new SBC's, and the way that
objectives and rewards are set up. I'm
going to be looking at stuff and trying
to find ways where we can get ahead by
playing certain game modes, getting
certain packs and objectives done that
will give us coins and stuff like that
so that we can have a head start to the
game and I can share that info with you
guys. So, we will be playing the game
early starting on the 15, 3 hours after
content. Now, there's going to be other
stuff going on that day as well. EA
posted that there's going to be a live
stream with the first exclusive look at
FC27 gameplay coming out on that Tuesday
as well. And there's also going to be a
live stream of the grounds, I believe.
I'm not going to be taking part in that
because I just want to play Ultimate
Team, but there's going to be some
streams going live that day as well,
showing the grounds. So, that is the
15th, Tuesday. Now, this is where it
gets good. Wednesday, the 16th is the
web app day. That is when we will all
everybody will be able to log in to the
web app for the first time for FC27. As
you can see, the FC26 web app is down as
they're preparing it to update for FC27.
Here, we'll be able to open up our
welcome backpacks and maybe start doing
our first little bit of trading on the
market, our first few SBCs, and maybe
even get some new rewards from the
gallery. Maybe we're able to get some
Gallery tokens and open a couple of
extra packs, and maybe that creates new
ways that we can trade on the market.
I'm actually really, really interested
to see how the gallery is going to
impact the web app phase of the game
this year. The web app has been pretty
slow for the past number of years. Um,
but hopefully this year it's a little
bit better. Now, after the web app on
the 16th, which we will also get team of
the week one released on that day as
well, we have a now very, very, very
important day of the 17th, the Thursday.
EA Play is back. If you guys don't know
what EA Play is, it is EA's subscription
game service that allows you to play
multiple games and also get 10hour free
trial access to new games when they come
out. This was a pop-up surprise last
year in FC26 where people were able to
play the game a day early if you had an
EA Play subscription, and it's happening
this year as well. It is going to be
released at 100 pm UK time, which is
8:00 a.m. Eastern on the 17th of
September. You have to play on Xbox, PS,
or PC for this to work. If you're on
Xbox, it doesn't even make sense to pay
$6 and get this EA Play subscription
because you can do the New Zealand
trick. And if you don't want to know
what that is, you just change your
settings to New Zealand. This tweet
right here from last year explains it
really well. You go into your system,
change it to New Zealand, change your
location and your language, which I
think you would just keep to English
still, and you would be good to go. You
just change your location basically to
New Zealand, and you'll be able to get
the game, the full game, the early
access game at that same time, 100 p.m.
UK, because that is midnight in New
Zealand. So, that's how you can get on
the game on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC if
you pay $6, which I again, I know it's
$6. It's another way that EA is trying
to make some money off of this. very
smart marketing for if we're being
completely honest, but also pretty snaky
it seems like, right? You can pay $6 and
have 10 hours early access before the
18th at midnight when you get onto the
game. So, if it matters that much to you
to get on the game that early and start
playing, you can spend $6 and you can do
that. So, that's what you're going to
have there. Now, I will say this. When
we log on on the 16th and the 17th for a
web app or for EA Play, you will not
have your pre-order rewards. You won't
have that 85 plus icon. You won't have
those 2,000 FC points. You won't have
that Hall of Foot player pick. That is
not going to drop until it hits midnight
your time zone on the 18th. Now, if
you've changed your location to New
Zealand, then you will get those rewards
at 1 p.m. UK midnight New Zealand time
on Xbox. But if you're on PlayStation
and you're doing EA Play, you won't be
able to get those pre-order rewards
until it is midnight your time zone. So,
that is one thing I did want to mention
there that is a pretty big deal. Now,
before we talk about the 18th too much,
on the 17th as well, we should be
getting our new season, which has just
been leaked to be called Ones to Watch.
We have a whole bunch of ones to watch
leaks. We're going to talk about that in
a video right after this. Double uploads
are going crazy right now on the
channel, so watch out for that news
there. But that should be dropping, I
think, as well on the 17th of September
because the Thursdays are usually when
we see the new seasons start. Now, let's
talk about the 18th, the big day. That
is the official early access Ultimate
and Ultimate Plus Edition release date
for FC27. It is going to happen at
midnight, your local time, unless you're
already on the game otherwise, but that
is when we will start to get our
pre-order rewards. That's when you'll
start to get 2,000 FC points. Again,
ultimate plus gives 10,000 FC points,
but it's split up over the different
drops. We'll get our 85 plus icon pack,
which includes, of course, a pack with
one of these players in it. This is the
whole list of the official stats of all
those cards with their play styles as
well. Even the official dynamics, I
believe EA tweeted this out. So, those
are all the official players we can get
there. I love the Veron and the Zidon
inside of this. I would love Pepe. I
would love Lucio. There's so many great
cards. There's really not that many bad
cards if we're being completely honest
in this list here. But if you did
pre-order the game before August 31st,
you will get that. And then of course,
if you got the ultimate plus, you'll be
getting the Hall of Foot player pick,
which is between these five Hall of Foot
cards right here. And I have decided I'm
going with Aken Fenma. He is not the
most meta. He doesn't look meta at all.
He actually looks to be the worst out of
all these five cards in my opinion, but
he's the most emotional for me and I'm
going for it. I'm going to use that
bruiser and enforcer plus. I'm going to
get good with enforcer plus and I'm
going to be evoing that Aken and Fenena
and hope that EA actually make him super
buff in game because he posted on his
socials that he wasn't looking buff in
game. I hope they've actually juiced him
up and make him look strong like he
should be like he was in real life. But
that's the one that I'm going to be
picking from that. Again, all of that
content is going to drop when we log in
for the first time on the 18th at
midnight your local time zone. There's
no promo that comes out that day. It is
just a pre-order of the game. There will
be content that'll be coming out, but
it's not like we're actually getting an
early access promo this year. Again,
that first promo is going to be Destined
for Glory, but it sounds like that is
going to be on the full release of the
game a week later. Now, this is when the
market starts moving really crazy as
well. We're going to be all over the the
market watching player prices because
you have a whole bunch of people that
are logging into the game at one time,
spending the 2,000 FC points mostly on
packs. That's going to make prices drop
for a bit, then they're going to rise.
We make coins on it every single year.
So, make sure you get subscribed so
you're ready for that market movement
right there. Now, moving on. We're all
on the game for those of us that
pre-order the Ultimate Edition or have
the 10 hours of EA Play. What game mode
should we play? You should play Squad
Battles because that is the first reward
set that is going to drop on Sunday the
21st. As long as EA has not changed the
release date of rewards, that'll be our
first rewards drop. Squad battles on the
21st. We'll learn more about the rewards
if they are changing on the 14th from
those pitch notes, but I would play
squad battles first. It's just the
smartest game mode to play that gives
rewards. Moments will be a good mode to
play as well. We'll talk about that in
more videos upcoming. But on Wednesday,
the 23rd, we'll have team of the week
number two. And then after you're
playing squad battles, it's time to get
into division rivals because on the 24th
of September, that Thursday, we should
be getting our first release of rivals
rewards. and that'll give you hopefully
a good boost of coins, an injection of
coins and tradeable packs and maybe
we'll start to see a nice rise in the
market there. That'll be our hope. And
then on global release Friday the 25th,
the standard edition unlocks. We'll have
our first promo, Destined to Glory, and
a whole bunch of content probably coming
out for that as well. Again, it's
getting kind of confusing right now with
how Destined to Glory looks because we
have all these leaks for ones to watch
and we have Destined to Glory. Destined
Glory is a promo. That is a campaign,
right? Cards in packs. Ones to watch is
the name of the season. Season 1. Sounds
like there's going to be SBC's, but also
objectives and players in the season
pass for ones to watch. And they are
live and upgrading. And then after that,
we'll have our next uh squad battle
rewards on the 28th. We'll have our next
team league on the 30th. And right
around the beginning of October,
probably the first weekend of October,
we should expect to see the first foot
champs. And also right here in the first
day of October or so, we should expect
to see our second drop of FC points.
Now, that is not 100% confirmed because
last year they said it was going to be
before the 15th of each month, and
they've said that this year as well. So,
it could be from anytime the clock
strikes October 1st until October 15th
that we could be getting our pre-order
FC points. We don't exactly know when
that'll be. Hopefully, they do it early.
The earlier the better because coins
earlier are more powerful than coins
later of course. So that is a look into
some very important dates that you need
to know for FC27. I hope this was
helpful. If it is, make sure to drop a
thumbs up on the video. Comment down
below if you have any questions. I know
there's going to be a lot of questions
because there's so many intricate
details about how do I want to start the
web app? How do I want to use my time on
EA Play? Because if you're doing that
10-hour early access, maybe you're going
to do the 10-hour access of EA Play, you
haven't bought the Ultimate Edition,
you're going to get the standard
edition. That's a very good way to start
playing the game and test it out just to
see if you want to actually make the
commitment and get FC27. That's a decent
way to go about it as well. That's a
whole conversation that we need to have.
We got to talk about the pre-order
rewards and the market and so much more.
So, make sure you stay tapped in to the
videos here on the channel because we
will have a lot of them upcoming about
FC27
and the start of the game. It is almost
here, guys. It is super exciting and I
can't wait to do it all with you. If you
enjoyed this one, once again, drop a
thumbs up on the channel, subscribe to
the channel if you're new, hype the
video, and I'll see you in another video
soon. It's been Nate with account. I'll
catch you there. Peace out.
