How to get the EA Sports FC 26 Web & Companion app?

The EA Sports FC 26 Web App can be accessed directly through a web browser, with no need for any additional installation. Simply log in via the official EA Sports FC site using your EA account, which automatically connects to your PlayStation, Xbox, or PC profile.

In contrast, the Companion App is designed for mobile devices and can be downloaded from either the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Players who already have the app from previous editions may receive an update prompt that switches it over to the FC 26 version once it becomes available.

To ensure everything runs smoothly when the new game launches, double-check that your EA account is properly linked and ready to go.

What are the EA Sports FC 26 Web app & Companion app?

The EA Sports FC 26 Web App and Companion App are official tools that let you manage your Ultimate Team outside of the main game. While you can’t play matches through them, you can do almost everything else - build squads, trade players, complete SBCs, and even style your stadium.

The Web App works through your internet browser on PC or laptop, while the Companion App is a mobile version you can download on iOS and Android. Both apps give you a crucial head start in Ultimate Team before the full game is released.
