MyTEAM’s Auction House is unified across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, and the game is slated for worldwide release on 4 September 2026 with early‑access beginning 28 August 2026.
Electronic Arts published a gameplay deep‑dive for EA Sports FC 27 that details major changes to AI defending, reducing automatic tackles and increasing manual jockey speed. PlayStyles have been rebalanced to depend more on core player attributes, and a new two‑step corner‑kick system adds skill‑based set‑piece options. The title is scheduled for release on 25 September 2026, with the deep‑dive previewing the broader focus on player control and reduced automation across the game.
