EA Sports FC 27 Ultimate Team Beginner Guide
Prepare your EA Account, secure FC 27 carryover rewards and follow a clear route through objectives, squad building, Rivals, Squad Battles, Evolutions and Champions.
The best preparation starts in FC 26, where several activities already provide FC 27 rewards. When FC 27 launches, use the same EA Account, complete the introductory objectives, build a balanced first squad and begin with the mode that matches your skill level.
Earn the FC 27 Carryover Rewards in FC 26
Play one group-stage match in The World's Game mode and complete every region in the Journey of Nations Ultimate Team objective. World Tour Season 9 also provides an FC 27 carryover reward at Level 30.
Eligible rewards become available after FC 27 launches
Keep the Same EA Account
Use the EA Account that earned your FC 26 rewards when creating or opening your FC 27 Ultimate Team club. Carryover rewards are tied to the account used to complete the original objectives.
Your eligible FC 27 rewards deliver to the correct Ultimate Team club
Set Up the Web App and Companion App
The browser-based Web App and iOS or Android Companion App let you manage squads, complete Squad Building Challenges, claim rewards and use the Transfer Market away from your console or PC. FC 26's Web App opened on September 17, 2025 and its Companion App followed on September 18.
You can organize your club before and between gameplay sessions
Complete Foundations and Unlock the Transfer Market
Finish the introductory Foundation objectives before spending heavily on players. In FC 26, new accounts completed the On Your Way objective group before full Transfer Market access opened after 24 hours on consoles or 48 hours on PC.
You receive starter rewards and gain access to buying, bidding and searching the market
Build a Balanced First Squad
Fill every position with players who fit their natural roles and provide useful chemistry links. Keep early coins for important upgrades instead of replacing the entire team after every reward pack.
A stable starting eleven with enough substitutes for objectives and rotating game modes
Use Objectives and Evolutions for Upgrades
Check daily, weekly, seasonal and event objectives before playing matches so each game contributes to several rewards. Evolutions upgrade eligible player items through gameplay tasks, and FC 26 introduced repeatable Evolutions and goalkeeper Evolutions.
Regular squad improvements without relying only on Transfer Market purchases
Start with Squad Battles or Division Rivals
Squad Battles provides offline matches against CPU-controlled teams and allowed up to 18 weekly scoring matches in FC 26. Rivals begins in Division 10, runs through Divisions 10 to 1 plus the Elite Division, and provides weekly rewards based on progression.
Choose Squad Battles for a controlled start or Rivals for online competition
Move into Champions When Your Squad Is Ready
FC 26 removed Champions Playoffs. Players earned Champions Qualification Points from Division 7 and automatically qualified from Division 6 after collecting enough points, while Challengers provided a separate competition for Division 7 and lower players.
A clear route from beginner divisions into higher-level weekend competition
