EA SPORTS FC 27 The Grounds

The Grounds is FC 27’s social football space connected to Clubs. It is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Switch 2; PS4, Xbox One and the original Switch do not have this mode.

This is a mode overview and platform choice guide, not a complete walkthrough.

What happens there

EA presents The Grounds as a connected social space with a central Terrace and district areas, linking off-pitch gathering to football activities and Clubs. Its launch description names Montclair and Zeiza among the districts. It is a distinct mode, not a label for every stadium match in FC 27.

Getting started

EA’s introductory guide describes an initial 11v11 warm-up before the Grounds introduction. Follow that in-game introduction to learn where activities and Clubs connections sit, rather than expecting a regular Kick-Off menu to reveal the same space.
