EA Sports FC 26 System Requirements Revealed

EA Sports has officially unveiled its yearly entry in its iconic football series with EA FC 26. The new game features Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala on the cover, and EA is gearing up for another successful launch across all platforms, including PC.

With the pre-orders live, EA has also given us a look at the technical side of the new release with the official EA Sports FC 26 system requirements. Here is everything you need to know.

EA Sports FC 26 System Requirements

	Minimum	Recommended
OS	Windows 10/11 – 64-Bit (Latest Update)	Windows 10/11 – 64-Bit (Latest Update)
CPU	Intel Core i5 6600k AMD Ryzen 5 1600	Intel Core i7 6700 AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
RAM	8 GB	12 GB
GPU	GTX 1050 Ti RX 570	GTX 1660 RX 5600 XT
DirectX	Version 12	Version 12
Storage	100 GB	100 GB

The requirements are identical to last year’s release, which means that while you might see some improvements here and there, you shouldn’t expect a vastly different technical experience. This makes a lot of sense since this new entry is still a cross-generation title and EA doesn’t want to miss out on the massive player base on PS4 and Xbox One, just yet.

So, for what I assume is a 1080p 60 FPS experience on high settings, you’ll need a GTX 1660 paired with a Ryzen 7 2700X. Both of these components are fairly old at this point, and even on the lower end, an RX 570 is more than enough for a playable experience.

You need 100 GB of free space to install the game, and only 12 GB of RAM is recommended. There is no mention of an SSD here, though I highly recommend installing the game on it either way.

EA Sports FC 26 Release Date

EA Sports FC 26 is coming to PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch on September 26, 2025.

Just like EA FC 25, EA FC 26 appears to be a scalable experience on PC and should run well on a variety of hardware. There’s no jump in system requirements from the last game, and I’m hoping the optimization remains solid as always.
