Get one of these and you can participate in the early kick-off.<\/p>\n<p>Before you get too excited, it\u2019s worth bearing in mind that closed betas are typically used to help the development team to iron out any lingering bugs before a full release date.<\/p>\n<p>If you get in to play the new football game early, you\u2019ll be expected to leave feedback and keep captured images and videos away from public view and within the <a href=\"https:\/\/answers.ea.com\/t5\/custom\/page\/page-id\/ClosedPlaytestAccessPage?cptaccess=EA-SPORTS-FC-24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official closed beta forums<\/a> only.<\/p>\n<p>Read on to find out when the EA Sports FC 24 closed beta start date (and end date) is, how to get a code to join in and to see what\u2019s included in the early access beta.<\/p>\n<h2><b>When is the EA Sports FC 24 closed beta?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The EA Sports FC 24 closed beta start date is <b>10th August <\/b>and its start time in the UK is <b>6pm<\/b>. The EA Sports FC closed beta end date is set for <b>31st August<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>EA began handing out invites on 9th August from 6pm here in the UK, so check your email inboxes to see if you\u2019ve secured a code.<\/p> <h2><b>How to get an EA Sports FC 24 closed beta code<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>To get an EA Sports FC 24 closed beta code, you need to be lucky enough to get one sent to the email address connected to your EA Account. Distribution of the codes is running for a while still, so keep checking your inbox for that code!<\/p>\n<p>Only a small number of people will be selected to join in the closed beta, however, and anyone who does likely meets at least one of the following requirements:<\/p>\n<ul><li><strong>Accepted the User and FC 24 Beta Agreement<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Has an active PS Plus or Xbox Live Gold subscription<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Has an internet connection<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Is at least 18 years old<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Plays FIFA 23 regularly<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Signed up for Community Playtesting on the EA website<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Uses a PlayStation or Xbox console and plays in the UK or North America<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The selection process appears to be totally random, though, and it\u2019s not guaranteed if you need to tick every box above or not (we\u2019ve known a person or two to be chosen for the closed beta that reaches just one or two of the above requirements).<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t look like you\u2019ll be able to give your closed beta code to a friend to use, too. It seems they are locked to the EA Account linked with your email address.<\/p>\n<h2><b>What\u2019s included in the EA Sports FC 24 closed beta?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>What modes you get to try in the EA Sports FC 24 closed beta will be different for every player. Each code gives you access to a random selection of Career Mode, Ultimate Team, Kick-Off, Pro Clubs, Online Season etc\u2026 You won\u2019t know what mode(s) you can play until you install the closed beta.<\/p>\n<p>When you input the code, too, you might be shown a picture of PGA Tour instead of EA Sports FC 24 with a Latin name title of Loremlpsum 42 XSX.
