EA Sports FC 24, the rebooted and rebranded FIFA, is almost here. Whether you're planning to splash out on the Ultimate Edition or wait until the standard, it won't be long until we're all getting stuck in.

To add to the excitement, the accompanying FC 24 web app is now among us. There will also be a mobile app, so you can access the transfer market and Ultimate Team news from your phone, without booting up a console or PC.
We reckon it's a productive means of skiving at work...
We'll share all we know about the EA FC 24 web and mobile app down below.
When is the EA FC 24 Web App and Companion App release date?
The EA FC 24 Web App was released on Wednesday 20th September - so if you're on a PC, Mac or laptop, you can download it right now.
The EA FC 24 Companion App release date is Thursday 21st September at 6pm BST.
You'll get a one-day headstart on your Ultimate Team squad if you have pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition of the game, and can play with early access from 22nd September.
For everyone else, though, you get a full nine-day headstart on the FC 24 Ultimate Team when the game fully launches for everyone on 29th September.
The EA FC 24 Web App is a website that can be accessed on PC, Mac or mobile. When it goes live, you should find it on the EA Sports FC website, where the Web App is currently down for maintenance ahead of launch.
The Companion App, meanwhile, is a free download application that should be found on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store when downloads are made available. It's not to be confused with the fan app.
Both the Web App and Companion App should offer the same functionality.

What does the EA FC 24 Web App do?
The EA FC 24 Web App and Companion App give us access to the Ultimate Team Transfer Market without having to boot up our console or PC version of the game.
Thanks to both apps, we can buy and sell players and consumables, style our Ultimate Team stadiums, build our squads with the Squad Builder and sign up for new events on the go.
Using the apps is a simple way for everyone to keep up-to-date with the latest price changes in the transfer market, too.
The new apps, like the FIFA 23 offerings, let us take part in Squad Building Challenges, claim rewards from weekly competitions and even take part in online squad sharing.
You can update your existing FIFA 23 Companion App to the EA FC 24 Companion app for free, too, linking to the new game's Ultimate Team mode.
