About EA SPORTS FC™ 26
EA SPORTS FC 26 is EA's latest football game from EA Canada and EA Romania, with real clubs, leagues and players. As well as playing matches, you can run a club in Manager Career, follow one footballer in Player Career, build a squad in Ultimate Team, or try themed live challenges and a big international tournament mode. You can play alone, on one screen with a friend, or online across platforms. It has in-game purchases. It is rated PEGI 3. The makers recommend an RX 5600 XT or GTX 1660 and 12 GB of memory, so a mid-range gaming PC runs it well.
What EA SPORTS FC™ 26 needs
In plain words: to play at all it needs an entry-level graphics card, and to play it well the makers suggest a decent mid-range graphics card, with 12GB of memory.

Will my computer play EA SPORTS FC™ 26?
On most computers we find the graphics card for you. Add your processor and memory, and we will tell you if it plays, and what to upgrade if not.
A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?
The gap between the minimum and recommended spec is modest, so a mid-range gaming PC gives a good experience.
On a PC that only just meets the minimum, the game will start and play, but on low settings: simpler shadows and textures, shorter view distances and fewer frames each second, so fast moments can feel less smooth. A 1080p screen is the sensible match.
On a PC that meets or beats the recommended spec, you can turn the settings up: sharper textures, proper shadows and lighting, more detail in the distance, and a smoother picture. A stronger PC also lets you use a sharper 1440p or high-refresh screen.
