After several delays, UFL finally has a release date and players can experience the new football sim before its worldwide launch thanks to an early access period.

If you’ve enjoyed everything the UFL Open Beta tests had to offer and are eager to jump into the game as soon as possible, here’s how to play early.

How to play UFL early

To play UFL early you must purchase the Pre-order Bundle on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S. While the full game is a free-to-play experience, early access will come at a cost.

You can visit the PlayStation Store or Xbox Store to get the UFL Starter Pack, which costs $14.99 / £11.99.

The UFL Foundation pack, also known as the Pre-order Bundle or UFL Starter Pack, comes with the following content:

  • 7-day early access
  • Exclusive customization items: Lovorika shirt, Zlato boots, and Lavalampe Gloves
  • Stadium Estadio do Redentor
  • СP 20.000.000 (in-game currency)

Despite the price you’ll have to pay for early access, UFL will be free to play upon its full release.

When does UFL early access start?

UFL early access begins on Thursday, September 5, 2024.

With the full release scheduled for September 12, this gives players seven days to play the football sim early and get a head start on the competition.

Early access on September 5 gives football fans plenty of time to assess the quality of the game before its biggest competitor EA FC 25 arrives on September 27.

The devs haven’t revealed the exact time you can jump into UFL when early access starts. If that information becomes available closer to the start date, we’ll be sure to let you know.
