EA Sports manages to bring plenty of new content for their fans year after year, keeping them interested in the overall game’s development and growth. So it’s only logical that EA Sports FC lovers want to experiment with the new features as soon as possible.
If you can’t wait any longer and want to see what the studio has in store as soon as possible, here’s how to get beta codes to access the closed beta of EA FC 25.
How to access the EA FC 25 closed beta
The closed beta for EA FC 25 will be opened to a select number of users chosen by EA out of all the ones who sign up for the Community Playtesting.
How to sign up for EA Playtesting
Luckily for fans, it’s quite easy to sign up. Here are the steps:
- Go to EA’s website and Sign in.
- Click on your Avatar in the top right corner.
- Click on ‘Account settings‘.
- Select ‘Email Preferences’.
- In the preferred game section make sure you ticked the box to allow EA to send you communications ‘Anytime‘. Then check that EA Sports FC titles are selected & press ‘Update‘.
- Go to the ‘Electronic Arts Playtesting’ tab.
- Click ‘Join EA playtesting’.
- Sign into your EA account and fill out the form provided, as well as your preferences.
Closed beta conditions
Besides signing up for the Community Playtesting, players need to meet the following conditions to be considered for the beta:
- Signed up for Community Playtesting on the EA website.
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Have a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series S|X.
- Play EA FC 24 regularly.
- Have an internet connection.
- Accepted the User and Beta Agreement.
- Have an active PS Plus or Xbox Game Pass subscription.
If you don’t care about participating in the beta but do wish to access the game before anybody else, you can get early access by pre-ordering the game. Players who pre-purchase EA FC 25 Ultimate Edition will get a 7-day early access starting September 20, 2024.
EA Play members get a benefit known as ‘Play First Trials’ which allows them a 10-hour test run during the game’s Early Access.
EA FC 25 closed beta date & times
The EA Sports FC 25 beta is live and will run from August 6, 2024, 6:00 PM BST / 7:00 PM CET until August 27, 2024, 6:00 PM BST / 7:00 PM CET.
The chosen players will receive codes via the e-mail associated with their EA accounts, so keep an eye on your inbox and check your spam folder regularly – just in case.

It’s worth noting that closed betas are limited, so having signed into the Community Playtesting does not guarantee you’ll receive a code. More so, those who do get one won’t gain access to all the game modes.
All platforms used for beta testing
According to the devs, EA FC 25’s closed beta is available on the following platforms:
- PlayStation 4
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox One
- Xbox Series S|X
- PC (Steam or EA App)
- Nintendo Switch
Every mode included in the closed beta
Since EA FC 25’s closed beta is a version of the game still in development, not all game modes will be available. Those who receive access might be able to play:
- Career Mode
- Ultimate Team
- Clubs
Because players are randomly assigned different game modes, the invitation to join the beta will specify which ones are available for you to play. Some might get access to all of them, while others might only be able to try one out of the three.
Is the progress from the beta carried over?
No, the progress from the closed beta won’t be carried over to the full game when EA FC 25 launches on September 27, 2024.
Since the beta’s purpose is to allow players to try out and familiarize themselves with any new features while devs continue to fix bugs and adjust details, any advance you make in either mode will be wiped once the full game is released. This is a way to ensure that all players start at the same level at the same time.
How to transfer beta codes
You cannot transfer EA FC 25 beta codes to another user. This means that if you receive access to the closed beta, you are the only one who can log into the game.
If for whatever reason you’re unable to redeem the code, nobody else can use it in your place as it is not transferable, so it will be lost.
