It was expected that EA Sports would be releasing a FIFA 21 demo this week, with multiple different sources claiming that the demo would be dropping tomorrow (September 22nd).
Despite these previous claims, however, it has now been confirmed that there will in fact be no FIFA 21 demo whatsoever, with EA Sports claiming that this move will therefore allow them to focus their time on “delivering the best full game experience for current & next-gen consoles”.
We aren’t releasing a demo for FIFA 21.

Instead we’ve made the decision to focus our development team’s time on delivering the best full game experience for current & next-gen consoles.
We look forward to EA PLAY members jumping in 10 days from now and launching the game Oct 9.
FIFA 21 will be available to play via EA Play from October 1st, with a subsequent full official release date of October 6th.
With no ability to play the game prior to that; if you’re currently undecided as to whether or not you’d like to pick the game up and were relying on the FIFA 21 demo to help you make your decision? Your best bet now is to play the 10 hour trial on EA Play when it becomes available on October 1st (EA Play is available at a cost of £3.99 a month, or £19.99 for a 12 month membership).
