EA FC 26 release date leaked for Ultimate Edition and Standard Edition
Leakers have started to reveal information about the upcoming EA FC 26 release, including the EA FC 26 release date
Despite rumours of an August release, leaks have revealed that the EA FC 26 release date will not be earlier than usual for the Ultimate Edition or Standard Edition.
EA FC 26 is the latest instalment of the EA Sports FC game series, and even though EA FC 25 is still in full swing, it's that time of the year when we start to find out all about the new game. Nothing official has come from EA Sports just yet, apart from an official EA FC 26 release window, but now, it appears we may know the EA FC 26 release date – both for the Ultimate Edition and the Standard Edition.
Earlier this year, it was reported that EA FC 26 could be set for an earlier release than usual, with one leaker claiming that EA FC 26 could launch as early as August. At the time, this rumour made a bit of sense with some people thinking EA may have pushed the release date forward to avoid a clash with GTA 6, but with Rockstar Games pushing back GTA 6's launch until May 2026, there's no reason for EA to change its release schedule.
And now, it seems we know when EA FC 26 will be released, with the most reliable EA Sports FC leaker revealing when we can start playing EA FC 26 for the first time.
EA FC 26 release date leaked
Reliable leaker @FutSheriff has revealed the EA FC 26 release date, with the leaker claiming that the EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition will be released on September 19, 2025, while the EA FC 26 Standard Edition will be released on September 26, 2025.
EA has always released its FIFA and EA Sports FC titles either in the last week of September or the first week of October since FIFA 05, and it looks to be that way once again for EA FC 26. The Ultimate Edition of EA FC 26 is a more expensive version of EA FC 26, but with the higher price point, players get seven days of early access to the game along with a host of other in-game bonuses.
In EA FC 25 Ultimate Edition, players received FC Points to spend in Ultimate Team along with a guaranteed Ultimate Team Hero item, and we expect to see similar types of rewards on offer in EA FC 26. There's currently a bunch of other supposed EA FC 26 leaks circulating on social media at the moment, but take everything you see with a pinch of salt, with an official announcement from EA on EA FC 26 expected to arrive in July – just as we've seen with every release over the last few years.

Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes rakes in £8million off the pitch after snubbing mega-money Saudi Arabia transfer
BRUNO FERNANDES has scored £8million in image rights payments - softening the blow of snubbing the mega riches on offer at Al-Hilal. The Manchester United captain recently rejected an eye-watering three-year tax-free deal worth £200million to move to Saudi Arabia. 2 2 Al-Hilal were reportedly ready to pay United a £100million fee. However, Fernandes, 30, insisted that he wants to remain in Europe and play at the 'top level'. And while his decision could cost him hundreds of millions of pounds, latest accounts for his image rights firm show he has tucked away £8million in off-pitch earnings. Paperwork covering the 2023/24 season shows the attacker has piled up £8.3million in BF8 Sports Limited, the firm he used for off-field pay. That figure shot up £2.1million compared to the previous year. That works out at £175,000 a month on top of his playing pay. After paying bills, the Portuguese star is left with £7,849,371. The company was set up in 2020 and is listed as 'other sports activities'. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS Fernandes is reportedly on £12.5million a year at United, with bonuses, image rights and lucrative sponsorship deals with brands such as Adidas and EA Sports earning him additional millions. He is also reported to have a number of properties in both England and Portugal. Paul Pogba breaks down in tears as ex-Man Utd star seals return to football after doping ban with Ligue 1 side Monaco Fernandes is under contract at Old Trafford until the summer of 2027. Man United chiefs possess an option to extend the deal by a further 12 months. Manager Ruben Amorim has made clear he believes United must keep hold of Fernandes if they want to be successful. He said: 'He is seeing us taking some actions to change all the things and I think that is all that he wants to stay. 'He's saying 'no' to a lot of things, but it shows that he wants to win. 'He's really young, he's really good. He needs to be in the best league in the world.'

I bought GTA 5 for the third time and it's still one of the best games ever
A reader reveals how the wait for GTA 6 led him to buy GTA 5 for the PS5, as he insists the 12-year-old game is still the best entry in the series so far. I love Grand Theft Auto. I'm in my fifties now and I don't often play video games anymore. If I have any spare time, I prefer to watch decent films or well scripted television series, like Succession. Video games require effort and physical interaction and I'm not really up for that after a week at work. Up until this year, due to my overall gaming lapse, I'd resisted upgrading to the current generation of consoles, but I've now purchased a PlayStation 5 for one reason alone. I have to play Grand Theft Auto 6. It's like an overpowering urge akin to when you're ravenous and you see a big tasty-looking cake. You want that cake. There's no debate in your head. That cake must find its way into your mouth. That's how I feel about Grand Theft Auto 6. When the new Grand Theft Auto game was delayed until next year I was utterly heartbroken, especially since I bought a new console for the sole purpose of playing it. The current instalment in the franchise, Grand Theft Auto 5, is relatively cheap at the moment (about 15 quid) and the old/current game began to look quite appealing to me as a stopgap until I could play the new game, but I held back from buying GTA 5 because I already own two copies on other formats. How could I possibly justify buying and playing Grand Theft Auto 5 again? Years ago, I bought and played GTA 5 extensively on the PlayStation 3. I purchased the game a second time on the Xbox One. In that enhanced version of the game there were notable improvements. Mainly, I'm thinking about first person view being an option in every vehicle. Grand Theft Auto 5 on PlayStation 5 seemed so unnecessary to me. Apparently the PlayStation 5 version wasn't much of an improvement, and wouldn't it be better and more adventurous to branch out and play something else? But then, as I've mentioned above, GTA 6 got delayed and I needed to satisfy my hunger for the franchise, and so I found myself buying the same game a third time. After this purchase I rather regretted surrendering to my urges, that is until I installed Grand Theft Auto 5 and actually started playing it. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. From my hands-on experience of the PlayStation 5 version, I have to say that Grand Theft Auto 5 is still a right laugh and in many respects I think it might be the best entry in the series. The missions in 5 are a major improvement on the previous games, in that they're fun and often spectacular. All too often in the other games, some of the missions regressed into becoming a major chore. That remote control helicopter mission in the multi-story carpark in Vice City sticks in my head as a serious blight in an otherwise enjoyable experience. Grand Theft Auto 5 is far more accommodating. If you keep failing the game offers you a chance to skip a mission, which is probably sacrilege to hardcore gamers but I think a bit of all-abilities inclusion is an excellent idea. I'm still barely into my latest playthrough and already rescuing Michael's son from his hijacked boat was/is so cool. You're chasing down a stolen yacht that's being towed in a trailer. Franklin jumps onto the yacht while it's in motion and you have to then catch him and Michael's dangling son. Brilliant stuff. I can't immediately remember missions with that kind of scope in the earlier games. I also love the random incidents that occur throughout the map while you play. After you've darted over to intervene in a theft, in true Grand Theft Auto style you can either give the money back to its rightful owner or keep it for yourself. The Strangers and Freaks side missions are a great addition too. Grand Theft Auto 5 offers a multitude of tempting distractions, other than simply running amok until the police take you down, which although fun can become a rather aimless and morally troubling activity. On this latest playthrough of GTA 5 I've only noticed a couple of downsides. I've been forced to remember how much I hated Franklin's mate Lamar. Just a horrible, moaning character with dialogue that's littered with offensive expletives. I punched Lamar and ran him over and that provided marginal relief but, yes, I still hate him. And the character models in general look a bit crusty and old, which is perfectly understandable given the age of the game itself. And if I'm honest the only improvement in the PlayStation 5 version is that the game loads slightly faster and maybe the environments look marginally better… so was it worth buying the game yet again? More Trending I have to say yes. Playing Grand Theft Auto 5 is still a joy and I'd recommend readers giving the game another go given its cheap price. In my opinion, no other game offers such a multifaceted and amusingly detailed experience. Listening to Cara Delevingne on Non-Stop-Pop FM. Stealing a flashy sports car and then gunning it for miles across the brilliantly realised map. Grand Theft Auto 5 really is the gift that keeps on giving, that is until Grand Theft Auto 6 finally comes out.
