EA Sports FC is a series of sports games dedicated to soccer, which took the place of the FIFA brand in the catalog of Electronic Arts after the latter ended its cooperation with the International Federation of Football (FIFA). EA Sports FC 27 is the fourth installment of the series, which has yet to be officially announced.
According to unofficial reports in November 2025, the biggest new feature introduced in EA Sports FC 27 is expected to be an open world mode. In January 2026, however, Electronic Arts registered the trademark FC The Grounds, which is most likely its name.
The module is expected to allow free exploration of so-called districts, or areas thematically related to countries known for their love of soccer. In addition, the open world of EA Sports FC 27 is to include a "dedicated community space for players," offering, among other things, the opportunity to play a variety of mini-games.
EA Sports FC, by the way, would not be the first sports game ever to offer an open world. For some time now, such can be found, for example, in the basketball series NBA 2K from Visual Concepts, as well as in the WWE 2K series from the same studio.

Game Ratings for EA Sports FC 27 Video Game.
Analog Stick Gaming: 7.5 / 10 by James Clarkson
FC 27 does enough to justify its existence and offers several encouraging ideas for the series' future. It is enjoyable, polished, and capable of producing some excellent matches, especially once its more manual approach begins to click. However, it remains an evolutionary annual release rather than the major transformation many football fans are waiting for.
GamesCreed: 4.5 / 5 by Tahmid Mahi
EA SPORTS FC 27 improves the core football with slower, more manual gameplay and gives Career Mode meaningful depth. Ultimate Team gets useful additions, while The Grounds feels less convincing, especially for solo players.
MKAU Gaming: 9 / 10 by Hayden Nelson
EA Sports FC 27 feels like one of the more meaningful upgrades to the series in recent times. The Grounds brings a fresh social experience, Career Mode finally has some real depth, and the more manual gameplay makes matches feel rewarding once everything clicks. It still has a few rough edges, but as a football fan, EA Sports FC 27 delivers one of the most complete and authentic football experiences.
