What is the EA FC 24 Euro 24 update release date?
The EA FC 24 Euro 24 update release date is scheduled for summer 2024, as has been revealed by EA Sports. Best of all, the update is entirely free! Everyone across PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC will all be able to play the full UEFA Euro 2024 tournament at no extra cost.
Unfortunately, the release date is yet to be finalised by EA but expect the Germany Euro 24 update to land in-game around the same time the real-life tournament kicks off, likely a little bit before the real thing.
This means we should be expecting the free Euro 24 update in FC 24 to land on or around 14th June 2024 – the date the real-life tournament begins. We’ll update this page with the release date when it’s been officially confirmed by EA.
