EA SPORTS have revealed the rewards that Ultimate Team players can claim when FIFA 21’s early access gets underway through EA Play.

In recent years, EA has made it possible for FIFA players to get stuck into the new game before it officially hits the market through EA Access. 

Fans are allowed to play for 10 hours in the build-up to the new release, but if they also pre-order particular versions of the game, they’ll be able to access everything with a time restriction.

With FIFA 21 merely days away at this point, EA have revealed a few changes that are coming to Ultimate Team with Icon SBCs and Ones to Watch release dates. Though, there are few rewards too.

In their September 25 Pitch Notes, EA revealed that anyone who plays in the Early Access period will have a chance to earn certain rewards and get a bit of a headstart. 

These rewards include special objectives to get particular packs, the launch of Team of The Week 1, as well as a first chance to play Live FUT Friendlies and the all-new community Events. 

Below, you can find the rewards for Early Access players.
