Get Access to the EA SPORTS NHL Playtest Through SportsGamer

The next EA SPORTS NHL Community Playtest is closing in, and with the first Connected Franchise phase opening July 22, signing up sooner rather than later matters. SportsGamer is collaborating with EA to help our users get access.

This playtest is expected to be available for players in Europe and North America on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Players who receive access will get further instructions directly by email closer to the playtest.

Signing up now covers more than the first session. Connected Franchise goes first, and everyone registered for it will be automatically included in a second playtest covering World of Chel and HUT that follows shortly after the Connected Franchise test ends. One registration, both rounds.

How to register

To be included through the SportsGamer collaboration, players must complete all of the following steps:

1. Create an EA PlayTest account on the EA Playtesting website, if you do not already have one.
2. Register for the EA SPORTS NHL Playtest through the NHL Playtesting Sign-Up Survey on the EA Playtesting website.
3. Fill out the SportsGamer form here: Submit your details to SportsGamer.

The SportsGamer form is required to collect each interested player's platform and gamertag or PSN ID, ensuring the correct player information is available throughout the playtest registration process.

Players who complete all three steps above and submit accurate information are expected to be included for playtest access through this collaboration, provided they meet the applicable eligibility requirements. While access cannot be guaranteed in every individual case, SportsGamer will make every reasonable effort to assist users who have completed the process correctly and help resolve any issues that may arise.

Spread the word

Tell your teammates, club members, and friends.

This is a great opportunity for the SportsGamer community to show its reach and help bring more active NHL players into the playtest process. The more eligible players we can connect through this collaboration, the better we can represent the size, passion, and activity of the community.

Important confidentiality rules

All participants must follow EA's playtest confidentiality requirements. This means no recording, streaming, screenshots, public discussion, or sharing of playtest-related email content.

Any violation of EA's playtest rules may result in removal from current or future EA Community Playtesting opportunities.
