As mentioned, Civilization 7 will go live in two phases. Those with early access will get a headstart and be able to learn the ropes before others (not that it'll matter, as the first few playthroughs usually end in a nuclear disaster).

To simplify, we're going to divide the Civilization 7 official release schedule based on your gaming device (console and PC).

Civilization 7 official release time: Console early access and global release time

Console players will get access to the game a bit sooner than those on PC. It's not a huge headstart since it's late night in most regions. However, if you plan on burning the midnight oil and playing God until the Sun rises, this just might be what you've been looking forward to.
