After the Madden 26 Game Pass prediction, football fans are hungry for more. This is because College Football and Madden games aside, EA FC also follows a similar tradition when it comes to joining the Xbox Game Pass catalogue.
With EA FC 24 and EA FC 25 already available for subscribers to download, they can’t wait for the latest installment to drop as well. To satisfy their curiosity, here’s when we can expect EA FC 26 to arrive on Game Pass, according to the trend followed by its predecessors.
Things To Consider
Before we start, keep in mind that whatever conclusion we reach is purely speculative. As of yet, no official update from Xbox or EA has dropped regarding the EA FC 26 Game Pass situation.
Still, for Ultimate subscribers, who can’t wait to get behind the game of two halves, a 10-hour free trial giving a complete test drive is available. Without further delay, let’s start with our analysis.
Pattern Followed By Previous EA FC/FIFA Games
The data, which will help us estimate a promising Game Pass entry date for this game, comes from the pattern followed by its predecessor. From FIFA 23 to EA FC 25, here’s when each joined Xbox Game Pass after their release.
| EA FC/FIFA Title | Game Release Date | Game Pass Addition Date |
| FIFA 23 | 30th September 2022 | 16th May 2023 |
| EA FC 24 | 29th September 2023 | 25th June 2024 |
| EA FC 25 | 27th September 2024 | 12th June 2025 |
Judging by the table, each game has been added to the catalogue 8 to 9 months after the original release date.
When Will EA FC 26 Come To Xbox Game Pass?
With all of the intel in mind, adding around 9 months to the EA FC 26 release date gives us its unofficial Game Pass entry date. By doing the math, the subscribers can expect the game on 26th June 2026, which is nearly 6 months away from today. With still plenty of time left, those who are not planning to buy the game separately have no choice but to continue enjoying EA FC 25.
That’s all for now. As mentioned earlier, this is an unofficial prediction. If we are lucky, we might get an early Game Pass entrance; otherwise, waiting or buying the game are the only choices.
