EA Sports FC 27 first gameplay livestream reveals Zlatan Ibrahimović

First look at FC 27 gameplay

EA Sports has kicked off the promotional cycle for EA Sports FC 27 with its first official gameplay livestream. The event, hosted on September 14, 2026, gave fans a preliminary look at the upcoming title ahead of its full release on September 25 and early access on September 18.

The broadcast featured football legend Zlatan Ibrahimović alongside creators and football stars. Ibrahimović appears prominently in promotional materials for the game, marking a significant addition to the roster of featured personalities as the franchise moves into its new cycle without the EA Sports branding partnership.

The gameplay footage shown during the stream depicts a UEFA Champions League match between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. The pitch-side advertising boards display the UEFA Foundation for Children branding, consistent with the tournament’s real-world partnerships. The match is set in a packed stadium, showcasing the crowd atmosphere and stadium details that fans can expect in the new release.

Viewers tuning into the livestream were offered exclusive in-game rewards, a standard practice for EA’s pre-release broadcasts. These types of events typically serve to highlight new gameplay mechanics, engine improvements, and the overall feel of the game before the full launch.

With early access starting on September 18 and the full game launching on September 25, this first gameplay reveal sets the stage for the remaining promo calendar. More details on career mode updates, Ultimate Team mechanics, and additional player features are expected to follow in the coming weeks as the release date approaches.
