How Can You Pre-Order and Get Early Access to College Football 27?
Early access is available for fans through EA Play membership tiers. EA Play members get the earliest preview. That program begins on July 2 and it will give early adopters 10 hours of play.
EA Play Pro members can play the full Pro Edition on July 6, with both giving psyched users a jump on the global release date.
That ladder mirrors the early-access structure EA used for EA UFC 6 earlier this year. Standard and Deluxe editions are expected, and EA Play Pro also bundles recurring College Ultimate Team packs and a discount on EA digital content.
