Even before EA Sports FC 27 is playable, fans can start building their Ultimate Team. Today, the Companion App for smartphones goes live, following the launch of the browser-based Web App yesterday.
When exactly does the EA Sports FC 27 Companion App launch?
The Companion App will be activated today at 5 PM UTC, which corresponds to 7 PM German time. The Web App has been running since yesterday, also from 5 PM UTC. Both applications are deliberately timed to be online shortly before the start of EA Sports FC 27's Early Access on September 18.
What can you do in the Companion and Web App already?
- Trade on the Transfer Market: Buy and sell players to build up a coin reserve before the first match
- Open Starter Packs and collect rewards for returning players
- Manage your Ultimate Team on the go, without a console or PC
- The Web App runs entirely in the browser; no download is required
However, those hoping for Squad Building Challenges will have to wait: SBCs are not available at launch in either the Web or Companion App and are expected to be added later during the first season.
This head start for the community is valuable: Players who use the app time wisely can gain a significant coin advantage before the actual Early Access begins on September 18 and the rest of the player base joins. Especially in Ultimate Team mode, where a good start on the Transfer Market often determines the first few weeks, this is a noticeable benefit.
