FIFA 21 has suffered from a delayed release, due to coronavirus causing havoc with the football schedule worldwide. And with no demo version this year, fans of the series have had no opportunity to play the new edition. Until now.
The standard game may not go on general release until Friday, October 9, but if you purchase the FIFA 21 Ultimate Edition or FIFA 21 Champions Edition, you'll get early access from Tuesday, October 6.
The two editions come at a dearer price than the normal game, but as well as getting the game before anyone else, you'll get a host of extras too.
Here's how you can get FIFA 21 early – and why you should bother.
FIFA 21 Ultimate Edition
