FIFA 20 game-play reveal

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The demo of Fifa 20 has finally arrived, giving players the first chance to try out the game's host of new features.

Developers EA Sports unveiled new game modes, including Volta Football to bring gameplay to the streets. Six teams are available to play with in the demo: Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea, Liverpool, Paris Saint Germain, Real Madrid and Tottenham.

It only arrived on PS4 and Xbox One. Players hoping to get a chance to jump into a game on PC and Nintendo Switch will have to wait until the full release date, on 27 September.

Please allow a moment for the live blog to load.

There's just 10 minutes to go until the Fifa 20 is released, if rumours are to be believed.

Here's what EA has to say about it: 

Fifa 20 for PlayStation 4 brings two sides of The World’s Game to life - the prestige of the professional stage and an all-new authentic street football experience in EA Sports Volta Football.

Fifa 20 innovates across the game, 'Football Intelligence' unlocks an unprecedented platform for gameplay realism, Fifa Ultimate Team offers more ways to build your dream squad, and EA Sports Volta Football returns the game to the street, with an authentic form of small-sided football.

Virgil Van Dijk looking pretty pleased with himself here, and rightly so. 

It's been a good year for the Dutch defender: Champions League winner and Fifa 20 cover star.

The Fifa 20 demo offers players the chance to play as one of half a dozen teams: Chelsea, Real Madrid, Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint Germain and Liverpool.

Three stadiums host the matches: The Bernabeu in Madrid, as well as Chelsea's Stamford Bridge and the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

In a bizarre turn of events, the #Fifa20 hashtag on Twitter has been hijacked, with dozens of accounts using it to share videos about Isis.

Legitimate posts relating to Fifa 20 on Twitter seem to express mixed reactions about the demo.

Some are saying it's just like Fifa 19 but with a different cover and kits, while others are praising it for its gameplay.
