Can I Run EA Sports FC 26?
EA Sports FC 26 is a simulation sports game from EA Canada, released in 2025. Electronic Arts published it. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. This is current generation software, and the requirements read that way. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Two players can share one screen on a single machine, which is rare enough now to be worth noting. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Its Steam review count passes 86 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. There are 43 achievements to chase. Steam lists support for 21 languages.

Why EA Sports FC 26 is demanding
The ask EA Sports FC 26 makes is moderate. AMD RX 5600 XT or Nvidia GTX 1660 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. At 12 GB, system memory is undemanding. EA Sports FC 26 wants about 100 GB of disk space, which is a real consideration on a smaller drive. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means EA Sports FC 26 scales hard with the hardware you give it. EA Sports FC 26 calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run EA Sports FC 26?
Free up space before installing EA Sports FC 26: it needs roughly 100 GB of HDD storage. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, AMD RX 570 or Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti and 8 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. EA Sports FC 26 needs about 100 GB of HDD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.42x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.8x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.35x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
