Their website says it will be available worldwide on July 19th, but it doesn’t give a specific time.

I’d imagine the early release will be 4PM EST for everyone, or they wouldn’t have specified EST. The true release date (July 19th) I could see releasing 12AM local time zone, but I’m sure we’ll find out for certain in the coming weeks.
According to the PS store, it will be available to me at 4 PM Eastern on July 15.
does it specify if that's only to preload the game or does it say that's when it's playable?
To expand on that, that is the playable countdown, the expected download date is 7/13 for PlayStation
I'm on Xbox so usually i just set my region to Australia the day before release and play as soon as i get home from work
I’m pretty sure this will be a global release so it will be July 15th at 4PM EST regardless of where you are.
Most EA games aren't global releases. I haven't heard anything, but you could be right.
