The EA Sports FC 26 Companion app has become an essential tool for Ultimate Team players, allowing them to manage their squads, trade on the transfer market, and complete challenges without needing to boot up the full game. Here’s a comprehensive look at everything you need to know about the FC 26 Companion.
The FC 26 Web App launched on September 17, 2025, followed by the Companion App refresh on September 18, 2025. Both platforms went live around 6pm BST / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT, though some regions experienced delayed releases due to various bugs and issues.
The apps allow full squad management, letting players set tactics and adjust lineups through simple drag and drop functionality. You can switch formations, assign player roles, and apply tactical adjustments from anywhere, making squad optimization convenient whether you’re at home or on the go .The Transfer Market feature enables players to buy, sell, and bid for player cards. This is one of the most popular features, allowing traders to monitor market prices and snipe deals throughout the day without needing console or PC access.
The app also ensures players never miss an SBC, allowing them to exchange spare players to unlock new players, packs, or customization options. This feature is particularly valuable for completing time limited challenges when away from the main game.
Players can improve and customize their Club members through the Evolutions feature directly in the app, allowing for continuous player development on the move. Both purchased packs from the shop and earned packs from gameplay can be opened within the Web App and Companion App, giving players instant gratification when rewards become available.
The apps offer a unique feature not available in the main game, the ability to restore discarded (quick sale) players, with users able to restore up to five discarded players every thirty days. This safety net is invaluable for anyone who accidentally quick sells a valuable player. All you have to do is select your club, navigate to the quick sell recovery tab. Use the calendar icon to search for the day you accidentally quick sold a player. Select the player and click on recovery.
The FC 26 Companion is available via both the browser and a mobile app.
Web Browser: Accessible directly through the EA Sports FC website without any downloads required. Simply log in with your EA account to access your Ultimate Team. Mobile App: Available on both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). The app automatically updates from the FC 25 version, so existing users don’t need to download a new app.

It is highly recommended for players to download this as rather than having to log onto your PC and console everytime, you can access most of the features from your phone or laptop.
