The buzz around EA Sports FC 26—unofficially dubbed EA FC 26—is picking up steam, thanks to a recent leak that's making the rounds on social media. While EA Sports has yet to confirm any details, a well-known source within the community has shared early information that hints at both a sooner-than-usual release date and significant updates to FC 26 Coins crossplay functionality.

Leaked Release Date for EA Sports FC 26

A prominent leaker known as AhcanFUT, who has a strong track record within the EA FC community, recently shared fresh details on X (formerly Twitter). According to their post, EA Sports FC 26 could be arriving earlier than expected—potentially breaking the franchise's usual late-September launch pattern.

While EA typically holds off on promotional content until closer to release, the leak also indicates that a gameplay trailer could drop between May 20 and May 27. Although the exact contents of this trailer are still under wraps, fans are hopeful it will provide a first look at the upcoming installment. For now, though, it’s all speculation until EA releases something official.

PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5

Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S

PC

Interestingly, EA is also rumored to be preparing a version for the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, though details on that remain scarce. If true, this would mark one of the first major third-party sports titles to buy FC 26 Coins appear on the upgraded console.
