As per sources, the full release is scheduled for 4:30 am IST all across India.

However, there are a few rumors that globally, FIFA 22 will be released on September 30 at 11:00 pm BST.
The release time in India will depend on the global timings of the release. The game will be released at 11:00 pm BST (3:30 am IST) if the rumors are true. But based on previous releases, 4:30 am on October 1 looks to be the actual timing as of now.
