FC 27 Ultimate Plus Edition: Preorder Deadline Is Aug 31

Published 2026-08-25 · DB.Coins Blog

The Early Bird Window Closes This Month

If you've been sitting on the fence about EA Sports FC 27, the decision window just got a lot shorter. The Ultimate Plus Edition, the top-tier preorder tier that comes bundled with a heap of FC Points and early access, is only available through the Early Bird period, which runs out on August 31, 2026. After that date, EA pulls the tier from sale entirely — so anyone still weighing it up has less than a week left to decide.

What Each Edition Actually Gets You

Indian pricing on PSN/Xbox/Steam will differ from the USD figures above and typically lands higher after taxes, so check your storefront directly before deciding. One useful note for FC 26 owners: PlayStation Store buyers who already own FC 26 reportedly get a 10% discount on the FC 27 Ultimate and Ultimate Plus tiers.

The FC Points Aren't a Lump Sum — Read the Fine Print

The headline "10,000 FC Points" number sounds huge, but EA doesn't hand it over in one go. It's split across five monthly drops, with the first batch landing after your initial login to FC 27. To collect the full amount you'll need to keep logging in and claiming each drop, with a final cutoff to claim the first grant reportedly set as late as June 1, 2027. Miss the claim windows and you lose that portion of the points — so treat this as a season-long commitment, not a one-time top-up.

Is It Actually Worth It for Ultimate Team Grinders?

For UT players specifically, the calculus comes down to how you plan to build your squad early in FC 27's life cycle:

• Pack-openers who like cracking early FC Points packs for a head start will get the most value, since the staggered points effectively fund several months of pack pulls.
• Trading-focused players who prefer building coin balance through the transfer market get comparatively less from FC Points and more from the early access window, which lets you start trading — and pricing the market — before the wider player base floods in.
• Budget-conscious players may be better off skipping Ultimate Plus and putting that money toward coins instead, since coins remain flexible for SBCs, Evolutions, and bidding on price-spike cards during launch week — something a fixed FC Points grant can't match once market prices settle.

Quick Recap (IST)

Whichever edition you land on, remember that FC Points and coins solve different problems — points get you packs, coins get you the exact players and SBC fodder you actually need.
