FC 25 Web App and Companion App: Release date and launch time

While early access gives you a seven-day period to play before the full launch, the FC 25 Web and Companion apps give access to those without the Ultimate Edition.

This is an excellent way for anybody looking to jump-start their team and hopefully get ahead of the competition via trading or SBCs.

Here's everything you need to know about the FC 25 Web and Companion App, including when they'll be available, what bonuses you can get for using them and if FUT points can be purchased online.

When is the FC 25 Web App and Companion App release date?

The Companion App will then become available on Thursday 19th September 2024.

This follows on from the EA Sports FC 25 Web App's release on Wednesday 18th September.

The Web and Companion Apps have historically always launched before the video game's release, so that's no different again this year.

What time does the FC 25 Web App and Companion App release?

Both the Web App and the Companion App are expected to release at 6pm BST on their respective release days.

However, if there are complications or too many people trying to get online at once, there may be some issues, leading to a delay.

If the servers remain steady, it should be 6pm for fans in the UK!

How can you get the FC 25 Web App and Companion App? What we know so far

Players can access the EA FC 25 Web App via a PC, Mac or mobile on the EA Sports FC website.

On the other hand, the Companion App should be accessible on mobile devices. Specifically, we expect it to be available on both the App Store and Google Play Store.

In the past, the Web App and Companion App have offered the same functionality, and this is expected to continue.

What do the FC 25 Web App and Companion App do?

Essentially, the FC 25 Web App and Companion App lets you access your club in Ultimate Team before the game is released. Players can then buy, sell and manage their teams in time for the football simulator's launch.

For example, the likes of Squad Builder, challenges, weekly competitions and other features that appeared in the past.

Those who have used the app in the past 12 months will likely be able to update it from EA FC 24 to EA FC 25 too.

One thing we do know is that anyone who played Ultimate Team in EA Sports FC 24 will receive some additional rewards for returning for the latest instalment.

Can FC Points be purchased on the FC 25 Web App and Companion App?

There is no way to buy FC Points in the Web App or the Companion App.

Need a refresher on what the difference is between these two currencies?

FC Points are bought in the game using real money. You can't buy them in the Web App or Companion App.

The other currency, FC Coins, is earned by playing the game and completing objectives (rather than buying them).

EA Sports FC 25 is scheduled to launch on 27th September 2024 across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows.
