    I am ea access member and had pre order fifa20 standard edition.

    How to play 10hours early?
    How to download game early?

  2. Shayan says:

    When i buy Ea Access do i buy fifa 20 in the Ea access hub or the PS store. Also do i get a discount?

    1. Len Wiggins says:

      I think if you click on it in the app it will take you to the store automatically, or you can click on it in the store. I have EA access and it shows the price in the store that you will be paying with the ten percent discount taken off.

  3. John says:

    What time does it come out on ea access

  4. david says:

    With EA Origin Premiere you can play full game and there is no 10hr restriction but if you have Origin Access Basic then you will only get 10hr but i think Origin Premiere is only available for PC not Xbox One or PS4.

  5. Nathan says:

    Can u play ea access over a number of days or doesn’t it have to be played 10 hours on the same day

    1. Sherif says:

      No it doesn’t have to be in one day , you have 10 hours from 19 to 24 September

    2. Nathan Retard says:

      you’re retarded

  6. Anders Longva says:

    Hey
    I understand that Fifa 20 is avaliable from 19th of September with EA access, but is this on Xbox One only or PS4 as well?

    1. Lupus Isetun says:

      You can play the early access on PS4 also, but 10 hours only so play smart, and save like 2 hours for daily objectives between 19 september and 24 september.

      good luck!

      1. Anders Longva says:

        Thanks!!

  7. DarkELk says:

    With 10 hours of gameplay, does it mean 10 hours in terms of matches, or 10 hours with the game on?

    1. martin beckman says:

      When the application turns on the 10 hour starts, so if you wanna do SBC or team building, do that on the web app. and if you are going to toilet n sh*t so turn off, you won´t waste time, trust me. Do daily objectives every day and play matches, but like i said, everything else can you do on your computer or phone.

      Good Luck- Martin

  8. Batman says:

    Hey I haven’t ordered fifa 20 yet but I still have a ea access account.

    Am I able to play 10 hours before purchasing the game?

  9. Jurre Kenter says:

    So i bought fifa 20 first. I read that if i’ll buy the ea acces i will still be able to play september 19th? Can i just start the game or do i need to do something to activate? I dont know

    1. Bradley Martin says:

      Yes

  10. Carlo Ghanem says:

    If i download fifa 20 from ea access and then i pre order the game through ea access will i have to re download the full game again or a small update would do it ?

  11. HansChristian says:

    I pre ordered the game in July, but i did not order it from EA access. I ordered it from the store. I will still get the 8 hours? Right?

    1. Bradley Martin says:

      Yes but it’s 10 hours not 8

  12. Rickie says:

    If I bought fifa 20 first and then I got ea access after will I still be available to play it on September 19

    1. DIVOCK says:

      yes once you access the trial through ea access app

  13. Jonas Zolk says:

    Do I have to download a full game size data on thursday to play early access?

  14. Harry says:

    What time can early access be played on the 19th?

    1. Liam says:

      I think its 4PM UK time on Thursday

    2. Sherif says:

      4 PM , UK time

  15. George says:

    I purchased FIFA 20 (without origin access). If I purcase origin access now will i be able to play fifa 20 on september 19?

  16. Connor Johnson says:

    I believe if you have ea access and you preorder from a store it won’t work, as the store won’t give you the game earlier than pre order release, I’d of just ordered through Fifa and got the discount and then the ea access to get it earlier

  17. Mike says:

    Is someone buyes the standard version of fifa 20, is still available to play EA Acces 10 hours of gameplay? or its just works with champions and ultimate version? this only works with the digital version of the game? or if someone buy the disc, it will work too? thanks

    1. John says:

      Mike, you don’t get EA Access by pre ordering you need to buy it. Where I am from it is 6.95 AUD in america it is 4.99 USD

  18. Liam says:

    Hello. This may seem like a stupid question, but here goes.

    I pre-ordered FIFA 20 for £53.99 (with EA Access) on the Microsoft Store today. First of all, will I be able to play the full game from 19th September for 10 hours. Second of all, will I have to purchase the game again?

    1. Paul says:

      Yes you will be able to play from the 19th if you already have Ea Access and no you wont need to purchase again

  19. Patrick Harrison says:

    is that origin basic or does it have to be premier?

    1. Sai M says:

      I think origin premier users can play full game from Sep 19th. Origin access users can play up to 10 hrs

      1. Patrick Harrison says:

        cheers for the answer Mate

  20. Ian says:

    If i pre ordered fifa 20 from walmart can i still play early with ea access.

  21. Alex says:

    It means on 19 sept I buy ea acces and I can play 10h in total. I can buy standard edition on 27 sept and all data will remain right?

    1. Dave says:

      Yes all data will be the same

      1. Alex says:

        and on 29 sept, when I buy fifa game, I still have 10% discount because I have already ea access for 01 month?

        1. Nico says:

          You have to own the game as well i think

  22. Bob says:

    Do I have to pre order fifa to use the ea access? If so does it have to be digital or can I get the disk version?

    1. Paul Kearns says:

      You would have to purchase the digital version only as the disc version isnt released until the 24th so you wouldnt then require the 10hrs early play

  23. M says:

    I have already purchased the ultimate edition, which I can download Sep. 22. If I now buy a monthly sub of ea access, can I then dowload it Sep 19? Or is that too late now?

  24. Ahmed says:

    If I buy one month subscription of EA access will I be eligible to play on the 19th or I must buy 1 year subscription?

    I have one more doubt, when will the 8 hours countdown starts? Is it when I turn on the game on the 19th or it starts at a specific timeline on the 19th?

    Can someone please help me.
    Many thanks

    1. george37 says:

      1 month will get you the whole 10 hours of ea access
      when your finished playing ea access just close the application and the hour timer will stop

    2. EliteGaming313 says:

      You get full access to the game on the 19th September if you have an Origin Premier access, it will be a 10 hr limit if you get the basic access.
      People on this thread/comment section may be misunderstanding the whole situation.

  25. Ea access says:

    Is it possible for me to buy the ea access 1 month subscription, buy the ultimate edition with 10% discount, cancel the ea access right away so i only pay for one month, and still play the game for 8 hrs between the 19th and the 24th?
    So I would be paying €80.99 for the game and €3.99 for 1 month of ea access and get to play early and get all the benefits of ultimate edition for €84.98 instead of buying the ultimate edition for €89.99 and not getting ea access?

  26. Jorma says:

    From where is this 8h info from? EA says its 10h?

  27. bryan says:

    if i pay for ea access on ps4 will i get fifa 20 full game in the vault on september 27th or will i have to wait ?

    1. Edwin says:

      The game will not be on the vault. Ea access only gives you 10 hours of playing time before it expires, like a trial almost. You will then have to buy the full version of the game. You can play the ea access on sep 19. You can buy the ultimate edition and start playing the full version on sept 24.

  28. Whalie says:

    Just stumbled across the option of ‘early access’ with EA access. I have pre-ordered the hard copy of the game (Champions edition from Game) for £69…. However, from what i am reading all i need is EA access and then i can play as much as i want and get to play a whole week early rather than just 3 days – What am i missing? What is the point of buying the hard copy?? Should I cancel my hard copy order?

    1. Whalie says:

      …. Is it just for PC or can it be accessed on PS4??

    2. M says:

      True, ea access does not work on hard copies, only through online downloads from the web store

  29. Tomas says:

    if i get the standard edition will i be able to play it with ea early access on the 19th?

    1. Gerald Anton Olsen says:

      no

      1. Eddie says:

        Yes, you can. Doesn’t matter what edition you buy, if you have EA Access, you can try it out for 10hrs on the 19th.

  30. J says:

    To get access from 19th, do I need to get the Champions or Ultimate Edition as well as EA Access?

    Or will EA Access permit me the 8 hours from the 19th with the Standard Edition pre-ordered?

    1. Sean says:

      You just need ea access m8

  31. Ellis Webb says:

    If i start playing on the 19th with EA access will i still be able to access the web app even though it launches on the 20th?

    1. Martin says:

      The fifa 20 web app is released on 18th of September mate the day before ea early access

  32. James says:

    So what’s covered in the 8 hours? Can you play ultimate team or would that be restricted?

    1. Dan says:

      Last year the early access had access to Ultimate team so I imagine this year will too

    2. Alex says:

      you can play whatever you want

  33. Shane Finnegan says:

    Do fifa points, squad battle points, div rivals points earned during ea access time period carry over to when you get full game?

    1. Anis Mustapha says:

      yes

  34. Mohammed says:

    What time exactly can u download it from the hub

    1. Ramram says:

      That’s the real question

  35. Nerz24 says:

    So if i pay 25€ i will have the full fifa 20 or just a demo ?

    1. Step says:

      You will have the full game

  36. king of this says:

    in the last 2 years trial was glitched meaning i could play it 100+ in these 7 days till release day
    youtube has even now these tutorials for fifa18 and 19 trial
    fifa 19 had 10 hours of trial,i’m pretty sure fifa 20 will have 10 hours of trial
    make sure you have 40gb space
    i had pre ordered fifa every time but standard edition it’s unlocked till release day,trial edition it’s basically another game in terms of space on your hdd
    you must got a good internet provide to download fast
    change your region to new zeeland cause trial is avaible sooner at them like on 18 september 16-18 pm in europe time but it’s 19 sept in new zeeland
    on 19 september evening look on youtube to see if anyway glitched the trial and made a tutorial this way you can play unlimited trial if you glitched every time you enter in fifa
    just make it sure you don’t spent all trial hours

  37. Nathan says:

    If I have EA access and pre-ordered the hard copy of FIFA 20, will I still be able to use the early access on the 19th and then transfer across my data to my disc on the 27th?

    1. Azim says:

      Everything would transfer over as ea access allows you to play the full game whilst keeping the contents of it hence the price of £4 for ea access.

  38. alfie says:

    can you play the 8 hours over different days or is it all at once

    1. Dan says:

      You can play a total of 8 hours over several days

  39. Daniel says:

    Im thinking of buying ea access but Will i get the 10 hours on the 19th even if I am going to buy the standard version on the 27th september?

    1. kid-r-us says:

      oi lad its 8 hours this year u hard kidda

      1. Eddie says:

        Ey mate, what’s ya answer mean lar

  40. Vertigo says:

    I have pre ordered FIFA 20 Ultimate edition and have EA Access membership but in PS4 library states that the game will download on 22th September. Will this change as we get closer to 19th?

    1. Angel says:

      I have the exact same issue

    2. thaipaiss says:

      same

  41. Jakub says:

    Can someone confirm at what exact hour I can start playing these 8 hours on 19th of September (CEST time)? Is it going to be available straight after midnight or later that day? And also – can I download the game earlier on PS4 (EA Origin allows to download game files days before trial time)?

  42. Steven Keighley says:

    I saw on twitter that the game installs 2 days before it says it can be played, and for me it says the 22nd. 2 days before that is the 19th which is the EA access date. Is it correct that it installs 2 days before?

    1. FIFPlay says:

      By pre-ordering you will be able to play the game on 24th Sept – pre-loading on 22nd Sept. If you are an EA Access, you will be able to pre-load and play it by 19th Sept.

      1. seb says:

        but it says 22th even tho i have purchased ea access??

  43. Jordan says:

    I have pre ordered fifa 20 ultimate edition with ea access on PS4 and it says it won’t be able to download till the 22nd but I thought I could play it on the 19th

    1. FIFPlay says:

      On 19th you will be able to play it but only for 8 hours, after that, you will be able to play the game with no time limit on 22 or 24 Sept – depending on your order edition and region.

  44. Dean Nemmer says:

    How does it track the 8 hours? I usually just leave the game on when I first get it haha.

    1. FIFPlay says:

      During the EA Access, the game will have a counter for 8 hours of gameplay, when the time ran out you won’t be able to play it.

      1. travis says:

        What constitutes gameplay? Actual time in game, or spending time in the menus, or all of the above?

        1. Jarvan says:

          Everything counts as playingtime. Also being in the menus etc. The timer is counting as long as the FIFA game itself is running

  45. Kenny says:

    Is this game free with EA access straight away or would I need to wait a while for it to be added?

    1. FIFPlay says:

      It is expected to be free after a long while, estimated to be in August 2020.

  46. Casp says:

    When Fifa 20 will join as part of EA Access games permanently?

    1. FIFPlay says:

      Expected to be available as a free game in August 2020.

  47. Emmanuel De La Rosa says:

    So if I get EA access to play Fifa 20 a week prior to release, how will the app work or how will it work generally if I preordered the game hard copy? Will it be a downloadable demo like app to play for eight hours or would I have to preorder digitally ?

    1. FIFPlay says:

      EA Access is only for digital copy, not working on hard copy orders.

  48. cherry says:

    must EA Access Premier or just EA Access?

    1. FIFPlay says:

      Just the normal membership plan.

  49. DAVE says:

    if I have ea access and pre order the normal game, i play the 8 hours free until 24th of Sept. Will I still be able to play on the 24th-27th of the full game (if I pre-order the normal game) or would I need to wat until the 27th?

    1. Bing says:

      You would have to wait til the 27th

      1. Kyle says:

        If you preorder the champions edition you get 3 days early off rip. If you want ea access and 3 days early you need to get the champions edition. You can’t buy the normal game

  50. Mike says:

    Can I have it for free

    1. Micheal says:

      Yes Mike, sure you can just reply with your credit card, social security number and send a copy of your passport to 59 High Rd, East Finchley, London N2 8AW
