FC 27’s The Grounds Looks Like PlayStation Home For Football Fans

‘One of our biggest reinventions in recent history’ – all of the biggest details on FC 27’s open world The Grounds mode.

FC 27’s The Grounds Looks Like PlayStation Home For Football Fans

EA's FC 27 introduces a new online open world mode called The Grounds, which has been described as a deep dive into football culture. The Grounds consists of three distinct districts modeled after real locations - Montclair (Paris), Zeiza (Buenos Aires), and Parkside (suburban Britain). Each area aims to immerse players in football culture while offering familiar game modes and unexpected street-level action.

The districts feel authentic, with elements such as a mural of British footballer Alan Shearer over a five-a-side pitch in Parkside. The Grounds also includes various mini-games, such as 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and standard 5v5 Rush modes, as well as smaller experiences like 4v4 Kickabouts. Players can interact with interactable icons to learn about players and areas of football culture, and encounter world-famous stars like Kylian Mbappe and Paulo Dybala who act as mentors and guide players through The Grounds.
