EA SPORTS FC 26 has landed on store shelves and Black Friday 2025 is shaping up to be one of the best opportunities to pick up the game – either as a standalone purchase or bundled with consoles. Retailers have already started rolling out early Black Friday offers and console bundles that include FC 26, and more deals are expected throughout late November (Black Friday itself falls on November 28, 2025).
What’s happening this Black Friday?
Early Black Friday promotions are already live at several major retailers and deal sites. Notable offers include PS5 bundles that include a free copy of EA SPORTS FC 26, and price-competitive listings for the game across digital and physical stores. Retailers taking part in early deals include the usual suspects – Very, Argos, Amazon, Currys and other big UK/european chains – with console bundles and game discounts already showing up in deal roundups.
EA’s pre-order and Ultimate Edition promotions have already concluded around launch, but standard and special bundle discounts are the focus for Black Friday shoppers – especially consoles bundled with FC 26 where the game effectively comes “free” with a PS5 Slim or PS5 Disc bundle at some retailers.
Early highlights and confirmed trends
- PS5 bundles with FC 26 are live: Several retailers are offering the PS5 (Slim and Disc variants) in bundles that include EA SPORTS FC 26 at no extra cost. These bundles make buying the console + game better value than buying the console alone in some listings. Expect more variations on these across different shops as Black Friday approaches.
- Standard edition discounts likely: Historically, mainline football titles see their deepest discounts on the base edition rather than Ultimate Editions. Black Friday 2025 looks to follow that pattern: standard/regular editions of FC 26 are appearing with price cuts at multiple retailers.
- Digital store promotions (FC Points & bundles): Console and platform stores (PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, EA app) commonly run their own sales during the Black Friday window; in some regions virtual currency (FC Points) and add-ons have seen percentage discounts or bonus offers. Keep an eye on official storefronts for timed promotions.
Where to look first
- Very.co.uk: Early listings show PS5 bundles that include EA SPORTS FC 26 (reported at reduced bundle prices). These kinds of bundles often appear in the lead-up to Black Friday and can represent the best console + game value.
- Argos / Currys / John Lewis / Amazon: Standard retailers frequently undercut each other during Black Friday; Argos and Amazon commonly discount the game itself (or include it as part of console bundles). Check product pages and sign up for stock alerts.
- Official EA Store / PlayStation Store / Xbox Store: For digital players, platform stores and EA’s channels are where you’ll find digital-only promotions and FC Points bundles. Pre-order promotions have ended, but in-store sales may still offer attractive bonus packs or discounted virtual currency.
Tips to get the best value
- Decide whether you need Ultimate Edition: Ultimate Editions include early access and extra FUT packs – handy for competitive FUT players – but they historically attract smaller discounts. If you just want to play the game, the standard edition often gives the best Black Friday price.
- Watch console bundle prices: If you’re buying a PS5 anyway, check bundles: sometimes the console + FC 26 bundle is cheaper than the console alone, effectively giving you the game for free. Compare sellers and verify warranty/returns before checkout.
- Use wishlist / price alerts: Add FC 26 to your Steam/PlayStation/Xbox wishlists and set up alerts on deal trackers – early Black Friday deals are often staggered across November, not just on the official Black Friday date.
- Check regional pricing: Prices vary by region and sometimes buying a digital version from a different storefront/region (when permitted) can be cheaper. Be mindful of account/region restrictions.
- Keep an eye on FC Points discounts: If you plan to buy in-game currency, watch platform stores – PlayStation and other stores sometimes discount virtual currency bundles during promotional windows.
What we still don’t know
Exact discount percentages and every participating retailer’s final Black Friday setups aren’t locked in yet. Stock levels, regional bundles, and limited-time flash deals will change through late November. We’ll update this article as retailers announce final pricing and bundles. (Black Friday itself is November 28, 2025 – expect the busiest deals between November 25-December 1, including Cyber Monday follow-up sales.)
Final thoughts
Black Friday 2025 appears promising for EA SPORTS FC 26 shoppers – especially if you’re flexible about platform (digital vs physical) and are willing to watch early deals. Console bundles that include FC 26 are already live in some stores and can be the easiest way to pick up both console and game for less. If you want to jump into FUT with early advantage, consider the Ultimate Edition – otherwise, picking up the standard edition during a Black Friday sale is likely your best value play.
