How to redeem FC 27 pre-order bonuses explained

It's that time again. Time to redeem your pre-order bonuses in EA's latest footy sim.

Depending on what edition of the game you picked up, there are a lot of FC 27 pre-order bonuses to enjoy, so you don't want to miss out on redeeming them!

Below, you'll find out how to redeem FC 27 pre-order bonuses and what all of the pre-order goodies are for each edition of the game – Standard, Ultimate and Ultimate Plus.

To redeem your FC 27 pre-order bonuses, you'll need to make sure you're connected to EA's servers and using the EA Account associated with your copy of the game.

If you received a single-use code when you bought FC 27, redeem this first. Otherwise, your digital pre-order bonuses should already be tied to your purchase.

From here, you'll need to enter the relevant FC 27 modes to access your rewards. Log into Ultimate Team and The Grounds, and create a Career Mode save while connected to EA's servers to make sure you've received the bonuses you're eligible for.

If your edition includes FC Points, your first allocation should be granted when you first log into Ultimate Team with further FC Points being distributed distributed in monthly instalments.

If you're playing on Steam, you'll also need to make sure your Steam and EA Accounts are linked.

If your rewards don't appear immediately, don't worry; EA says missing rewards can take up to 24 hours to show up, so it's worth restarting the game and checking again before troubleshooting further.
