Prepare before kick-off

Check whether your library contains Standard or Ultimate Edition.
Finish installation and pending updates.
Sign in with the correct platform and EA accounts.
Plan play sessions around the trial allowance if applicable.

The Web App opens September 16 at 17:00 UTC; the Companion App refresh follows September 17 at 17:00 UTC. Companion access does not give Standard Edition owners early access to matches.

Choosing store credit

Browse Xbox gift cards or PlayStation store credit for your platform. Compare the edition price with your balance and check the card's country, currency and redemption terms before buying.

FC Mobile Points are a different product from FC 27 console or PC currency. Match the game and platform in the product description; do not buy mobile codes expecting them to work in FC 27.
