The EA FC 26 Web App will go live on September 17. This timing is consistent with previous annual launches. According to EA Sports, access will begin at 6 PM UTC.
This early release allows players to manage their clubs. They can open starter packs and list players on the transfer market. This head start is crucial for building a strong squad ahead of the full game release.
Not every account will have immediate access on September 17. EA Sports has specific eligibility requirements for the Web App. Players must have an established EA Account to log in.
An account must have been created before August 1, 2025. The account also needs a history of playing previous EA FC titles. This is to ensure access is granted to active members of the community.
New players may face a short waiting period. They will gain full access upon launching the full game on console or PC. This process helps maintain account security and market stability.
The Web App and mobile Companion App offer full Ultimate Team functionality. Players can complete Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) from their browser or phone. This is a major convenience for the community.
The transfer market is fully accessible through both apps. Users can buy and sell players to build their coin balance. This allows for trading and investing without booting up the console version.
Opening packs is also a key feature available at launch. Rewards from pre-orders and edition bonuses are often claimable first on the Web App. This lets players build their initial squad immediately.
