FUT Companion app guide

The short version

Two apps, one club

The FUT Companion App is EA’s Ultimate Team app for phones and tablets on iOS and Android; the Web App is the same tool in a computer browser. Both open the same club you play with on PlayStation, Xbox or PC, and both went live for FC 27 in mid-September: the Web App on September 16, 2026, at 17:00 UTC (1:00 p.m. EDT, 10:00 a.m. PDT), the mobile app a day later at the same hour.

Store pages carry it under the name EA SPORTS FC 27 Companion, published by Electronic Arts; it costs nothing to install and sells extras inside. Apple asks for iOS or iPadOS 16.4 or newer; on Google Play it is the same listing that has carried every FIFA and FC season, which is why many players still call it the FIFA app.

EA FUT Web App login, from an empty account to a loaded club

EA’s store text gives the order of things, and skipping a step is the usual reason a login goes nowhere:

1. Start EA SPORTS FC 27 on your console or PC and open Ultimate Team, so the club exists. A brand-new account has nothing for the apps to show until this is done.
2. Do it at least once after November 7, 2026: since that date EA lets the apps serve only accounts that have entered Ultimate Team in FC 27 on their platform.
3. Open the Web App in a browser, or get the phone version from Apple’s or Google’s store.
4. Sign in with the EA Account you play FC 27 with. If the platform holds several accounts, the e-mail behind the right one is shown in the game settings on PlayStation and Xbox, in the EA app on PC, and on EA.com.

The login has worked when your club and squad appear. If you own clubs on more than one platform under one EA Account, guides say the app opens the latest one and lets you switch in its settings.

When the Transfer Market tab stays gray

Getting into the app and trading in it are two separate locks. EA says plainly that completing the starter objectives in the game leaves the app market shut, and an EA advisor cannot open it for you or name a date.

Returning players with an account in good standing may have it from day one if they unlocked it in one of the last three titles before EA’s cut-off: August 1, 2026, for FC 26; August 1, 2025, for FC 25; August 1, 2024, for FC 24. Other accounts collect active days instead. EA counts a day as active when, within one calendar day in UTC, the Ultimate Team account plays three full matches and logs in to the Web App or the mobile app. More than three matches does not speed anything up.

If the device has never hosted another Ultimate Team club, two active days are usually enough; once other clubs were created or used on it, count on four or more. A message in the game announces the unlock. In winter the UTC day starts at 7:00 p.m. EST on the East Coast and at 4:00 p.m. PST on the West Coast, so evening matches may count toward the next day.

The market inside the game has a lock of its own. For a new club EA names the key: the objective groups The Journey Begins, First Team Dreams and Rising Through the Ranks, completed one after another. Full access follows at most 48 hours later on PC and 24 hours later on consoles; in the meantime items can be listed but not bought.

What the app can and cannot do

EA’s listing for the mobile app names four jobs: Squad Building Challenges, Evolutions, collecting rewards from Champions, Division Rivals, Squad Battles and events without starting the console, and the Transfer Market. Its product page adds tactics, with roles and focuses for the starting eleven. EA’s beginner guide also suggests claiming objective rewards there.

Two smaller tools are easy to miss. Quick Sell Recovery, found only in the apps, brings back a player item sold by mistake within seven days, up to five times in 31 days, as long as you still hold the coins it paid. FC Playtime limits for packs and points can be set from the apps too.

What stays on the console or PC: the matches themselves, including the three that make an active day, and the Ultimate Team visit in FC 27 that EA has required since November. The apps also cannot move coins between clubs; nothing can.

Buy FIFA coins companion app: what the app actually sells

The app has a Store, but what it sells is packs paid with FC Points or coins you already own, not coins. EA also limits points in the app: PlayStation and Xbox players can buy FC Points there only in the United States, and are sent on to their console store; on PC the purchase works everywhere. For a console player in the United States the app is therefore one way in to FC Points, although the purchase itself finishes in the PlayStation or Xbox store.

Coins come from playing, selling and objectives inside the game, or from an order like the one on this page. An order is paid in US dollars on a payment page, and Comfort Trade brings the coins within 2 hours; for that you pass on, in any case, your EA login address together with backup codes. During delivery the app stays closed. Every step of an order, from the card to the balance, is under how to buy, and the reasons EA objects to such orders are spelled out under is it safe.
