Every year, fans of college football have the chance to take to the field early, and the trend continues with College Football 27. You can get a head start, and there are two different types of early access. This guide explains all the dates, times, prices, and more.
Early access for College Football 27 is the fastest way to play the new game.
EA loves some early access, and if you’ve got the dollars, then you can strap on the pads sooner than everyone else.
How to Play College Football 27 Early Access
You can either pre-order the Deluxe Edition or MVP Bundle to secure 3-Day early access, but if you have some extra cash on top of this, the extra MVP+ Membership buys you an extra few days.
To be clear, the Standard Edition doesn’t come with any early access. $69.99 gets you the base game and a few extras if you pre-order.

However, you can secure early access through two different ways.
How to Get College Football 27 3-Day Early Access
- Go to the College Football 27 page.
- Click the pre-order tab in the top-right corner.
- Choose which platform you want to play College Football 27 on.
- Confirm the purchase.
- Wait for the preload date, and then you can install the game.
- You can start playing College Football 27 on July 6!
How to Get College Football 27 7-Day Early Access
These instructions are largely the same, but with a few tweaks and extra fees.
- Go to the College Football 27 page.
- Click on the Become A Member tab.
- Scroll down to either Join on PlayStation or Join on Xbox.
- Complete your purchase for EA SPORTS MVP+ Membership— It’s a 12 Month Subscription that costs $149.99 (or $134.99 if you have EA Play).
- If you do this, then the steps are the same as 3-Day Early Access.
- Click the pre-order tab in the top-right corner of the College Football page.
- Choose which platform you want to play College Football 27 on.
- Confirm the purchase.
- Wait for the preload date, and then you can install the game.
- In this case, you can play College Football 27 from July 2!
College Football 27 Early Access Start Dates & Times
If you’re locked in for 3-Day early access, you can play College Football 27 from July 6, whereas it’s July 2 if you’re an MVP+ member.
Is any game worth splurging essentially $200 on to play a week early? For me, no. But the love for college football in general is great, and you might see it differently.
