How to Play FIFA 16 Five Days Early

FIFA 16 doesn't launch until September 22, but you can start playing the professional soccer game today. A 10-hour trial for the game arrives today, September 17, on Xbox One by way of EA Access.

Should you decide to buy FIFA 16 after the 10 hour period is up, you'll save 10 percent as part of your EA Access membership perks, meaning you can get the game for $54 instead of $60. What's more, all of your progress and stats from the trial will carry forward to the full game on launch day.

An EA Access membership costs $5/month or $30/year. The subscription program is only available on Xbox One, and also comes with access to a growing library of free full games, including Battlefield 4, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Titanfall.

Outside of the EA Access trial, a FIFA 16 demo is available today on Xbox One and PS4. For more on FIFA 16, check out this list of the game's top-rated players.
