- The EA FC 26 Web App is expected to go live on September 17 at 7 PM BST (11 AM PT/ 2 PM ET).
- You'll need an active FC 25 account that logged into the game before August 1, 2025, to access the app.
- The FC 26 Web App lets players manage their teams, complete SBCs, open packs, and much more.
We’re just weeks away from the kick-off of a brand-new season in EA FC 26 that is scheduled to go live on September 19. But as die-hard fans will know, the annual cycle actually begins with the release of the Web App and its mobile companion. The Web App lets players manage their accounts and teams long before they get their hands on the game itself. This begs the question: When will the EA FC 26 Web App be released?
When can I use the web app for EA FC 26?
Here’s an overview of FC 26’s schedule, including the expected release dates for the Web App and the Companion app.
- FC 26 Web App: September 17 at 7 PM BST (11 AM PT/ 2 PM ET)
- FC 26 Companion App: September 18
- FC 26 Early Access: September 19
- FC 26 Worldwide Release: September 26
EA typically release the Web App for the latest FC games in mid-September, and FC 26 is more than likely to follow suit. Once the site goes live, you’ll be able to access your accounts and begin drafting your initial squads. As for the companion app on smartphones, it’ll likely be released on the next day and will be available on platforms such as the Play Store and the iOS App Store.
How to Access the Companion FC 26 Web App
Once the Web App goes live, a simple Google search will provide you with its link. But just because it’s online doesn’t mean you can access your club and crack open the squad-building packs. Here are some conditions that you’ll need to fulfill in order to gain access:
- Active EA FC account that was created before August 1, 2025
- Account should have played EA FC 25 before August 1, 2025
- Positive Account Integrity (No bans or rule violations)
In preparation for the Web App’s release, hardcore players are known to create multiple accounts to increase their chances of obtaining one of the higher-rated players via the starter packs. To gain a head start, it’s also worth completing EA FC 25 objectives to earn free rewards in FC 26.
As for the mobile Companion app, just search ‘FC 26 Companion’ on the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store once it goes live. You should spot the official app at the very top of the results page. Download it and log in to begin managing your account.
FC 26 Web and Companion App Features
The FC 26 Web App is essentially your one-stop destination for all things Ultimate Team (aside from the on-field action). The web app and the handy mobile companion let you manage your account without needing to fire up the game. Here are some of the things you’ll be able to access using it:
- Your Squads
- Transfer Market
- Squad Building Challenges (SBCs)
- Shop
- Club (Inventory)
The web and companion apps make the process of switching formations, assigning roles, and applying tactics extremely convenient, as you can do so from the comfort of your couch, your recliner, or anywhere, really. The same goes for SBCs, and completing them via the app turns a tedious task into the perfect background activity that can drag you through boring movies or TV shows.
You can also rip open packs using the app and even buy FC Points using real-world currency. I always advise against so because trust me, you’re not getting that Icon. Lastly, you can attempt to run the FUT Market by plotting transfer maneuvers on the app itself, or at least snipe players you’ve been eyeing for ages.
With FC 26’s release right around the corner, where is your excitement level sitting at? Be sure to let us know in the comments.
