FIFA 21 is even better with an EA Play membership

With both NHL 21 and Madden 21 now available via EA Play, we take a look at whether you can play FIFA 21 without an EA Play membership.

Can you play FIFA 21 without EA Play?

In short, yes - you can play FIFA 21 without an EA Play subscription.

But, becoming an EA Play member on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC (Origin and Steam) means you can get more out of FIFA 21 throughout the season with a bunch of benefits and rewards.

As an EA Play member, you’ll get:

• 10% off of EA Digital Purchases including FIFA Points, full game purchases and pre-orders
• Start of Season XP Boosts throughout FUT 21
• FUT Kits throughout the FUT 21 season
• FUT Stadium vanity items throughout the FUT 21 season
• Early access Objectives in FUT 21

EA Play also gives you a 10-hour early access trial on FIFA 21, and will likely provide you with the same early access for FIFA 22's release.

How much is FIFA 21 with EA Play?

EA Play subscribers get 10% off on any EA digital content, including full games, season passes, DLC, sales and promotions.
