FC 26 Web App Guide: Release Date, Features, and How to Access

The release of EA Sports FC 26 is approaching, and players are preparing to get into Ultimate Team early thanks to the Web App and mobile Companion. These apps will allow you to play a little ahead of the game’s official launch by forming squads, transferring players, and opening packs while on the go.

Here is your complete guide to everything you need to know about the FC 26 Web App.

FC 26 Web App and Companion App Release Date

The FC 26 Web App was released on September 17, 2025, at approximately 6 PM BST / 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT, in conjunction with the launch of Team of the Week 1 (TOTW 1).

The FC 26 Companion App, the mobile version of the Web App, will be available the following day on September 18, 2025, as an update to the existing FC 25 Companion App on both the App Store and Google Play.

This gives returning players the initial opportunity to plan their teams, complete Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), and even trade on the market days before the first early access begins on September 19, 2025.

How to Access the FC 26 Web App

The Web App is designed for desktop and laptop web browsers only. While you can't play matches through the Web App, there is almost everything else, from squad updates to packs.

To get access to the FC 26 Web App:

• Open your web browser and go to https://www.ea.com/ea-sports-fc/ultimate-team/web-app/
• Ensure login verification is turned on for your EA account.
• Log in using your EA (Origin) credentials.
• Accept the user agreement.

Remember, you can't access the Web App if you are logged into Ultimate Team on your console or PC. Make sure to log out of Ultimate Team and return to the main menu of FC before trying to log in.

FC 26 Web App Early Access Requirements

Early access is not available to everyone right away. To be eligible for early use of the FC 26 Web App, you must:

• Have created an Ultimate Team structure in FC 25 and logged in prior to August 1, 2025
• Have a clean account history (no bans or transgressions of the rules)
• Still have your FC 25 UT club (not deleted)

New players who do not meet these criteria will not have access to the Web App until you log into FC 26 (on console or PC) for the first time.

Key Features of the FC 26 Web App

FC 26 Web App is a complete Ultimate Team hub where you can:

• Manage and Share Squads: Update tactics, formations or create concept squads
• Trade on the Transfer Market: Bid, buy, and sell player cards all while live trading
• Finish SBCs: Build squads for puzzles for rewards

• Claim Rewards: Redeem rewards from Squad Battles, Division Rivals, and FUT Champs

It is the quickest way to stay on top of your Ultimate Team account without needing to log in to the full game.

FC 26 Companion App: Ultimate Team on the Go

Essentially an adaptation of the Web App for mobile devices, the Companion App launches on September 18, 2025, on iOS and Android as part of the updated FC 25 Companion App.

In addition, you will be able to:

• Manage squads
• Buy/sell cards on the Transfer Market
• Open packs
• Complete SBCs
• Track your progress

In short, it is the ideal app for sniping cards, making quick trades, or maintaining your wanted changes away from your console.

How to Unlock the FC 26 Transfer Market

Why You Should Use the FC 26 Web App

The Web App's quickness and convenience make it crucial, particularly if you have intentions to get competitive in EA FC 26. Traders utilize it on a consistent basis to track prices, place bids on players, and flip cards without having to load into the full game.

It also contributes hugely to the game's economy. The first market action usually happens on the Web and the Companion App pre-launch, giving informed players a huge advantage in the new game. Keep an eye on the FC 26 Liverpool Predicted Ratings to spot potential investment opportunities as soon as player ratings and upgrades go live.

If you want to get off to a great start in Ultimate Team this year, the FC 26 Web App and Companion App are essential. These tools allow players to manage their Clubs, complete SBCs, and make trades on the market days before the full game comes out - saving you time and giving you a head start.

Whether you're looking to excel in Division Rivals or just want to build your dream team ahead of time, the Web App is the way to go for hitting the ground running in EA Sports FC 26.
