If you pre-ordered Anthem from Origin, or any online retailer, you should be able to play Anthem On February 22nd, at 0:00 ET.
If you are an Origin Access Basic Member ($4,99 Monthly), you will actually be able to play for a total of 10 hours starting February 15th, at 10:00 AM ET, 4:00 PM CET.

You can also use this chart below to figure out your selective timezone launch (from r/AnthemTheGame)
In our very own channels. Vanguard has recently started our very own Anthem Division, which is located in Horizon, under Vanguard. You are welcome to join those channels, to both find a group to play with, or play with your respective group from your Division. This will not only help you find new people to play with, but also help the Anthem Division as well.
You can use the Origin Launcher to get a subscription. You can opt in for a monthly or yearly subscription, and for either Basic or Premier. Bear in mind, only Origin Access Premier gives unlimited access on the 14th. Basic will allow up to 10 hours of game time.
Also, if you are a member of either, you can refer up to 3 other friends for FREE, to enjoy Origin Access Basic for themselves. That will allow them to test out Anthem, as well as any other games in the Vault.
Believe that is all you need to prepare you for now Freelancers! Keep an eye out on the TAW website for news about a launch event coming soon!
