When is the EA FC24 beta?

FIFA 23 gameplay

The EA Sports FC 24 beta started at 10 AM PDT on August 10 and remain live until August 31 at 10 AM PDT.

Closed beta codes for the EA Sports FC 24 began to go out the week of August 9. Players will receive codes via e-mail, and to the address that’s associated with an EA account.

Individuals who signed up for Community Playtesting, as well those who meet the aforementioned requirements are subject to receive a code. However, players should be advised that not everyone may receive access to the beta right away.

Additionally, players will not receive access to all game modes in FC 24. The modes that each player will have access to will vary.

Can you transfer EA SPORTS FC 24 beta codes?

This is a question people ask every year, but if this is to be like every previous iteration of FIFA, then chances are you can not transfer beta codes to others.

This means that if you receive access to the beta but cannot redeem it for whatever reason, a friend cannot use it instead. These restrictions are in place as selected players, only, are allowed.

At the time of writing, it’s unclear whether there will be a second beta before the game launches, and exact details on early access and beta testing have not yet been revealed by EA.

Once there is more news, we’ll be sure to update this page and provide everything you need to know about getting in on the EA FC24 closed beta.
