I pre-ordered the PS5 version of FC 26 Ultimate Edition. If I subscribe to EA Play, can I access the game on September 18 at 13:00h(BST)?

I bought the game on Steam and I want to know if I buy the EA Play subscription through the EA App, will I still get the 10 hour early access?

Yes, doesn't really matter where you buy it (Game Pass, EA App, Xbox, PSN, Steam and so on). Just make sure to use the same EA account if you wanna keep progress.
