FC 27 Web App: How to Get Transfer Market Access
Looking for FC 27 Coins for your club?
To the shop
You open the FC 27 Web App, tap Transfers and see a lock instead of the search. This is normal for many clubs at the start of a season. EA unlocks the transfer market in the Web App and the Companion App on its own once your account has shown enough activity. This guide explains how that works, how long it usually takes and what to check if the market stays locked.
Why the market is locked in the app
EA treats the transfer market in the apps separately from the market in the game. A new or quiet account has to prove first that a real player uses it. Until then the app shows a message that your Ultimate Team account has not yet earned access to the transfer market on the Web or Companion App. Nobody can switch this on for you by hand, not even EA Support.
Returning players often have it right away
If you already had access in an earlier game, FC 27 usually gives it to you automatically. According to EA this applies to accounts in good standing that earned access in FC 26 before 1 August 2026, in FC 25 before 1 August 2025 or in FC 24 before 1 August 2024. Everyone else earns access by playing.
How to earn access: active days
EA counts so-called active days. A day counts when you do both of these on the same calendar day:
- finish 3 Ultimate Team matches on console or PC (a match you leave early is not counted), and
- sign in to the Web App or Companion App with that same EA Account.
More than 3 matches on one day do not speed things up. What matters is the number of active days.
How long it takes
| Your situation | Usual time |
|---|---|
| Only your Ultimate Team account is used on this console or PC | 2 active days |
| The same console or PC has also run other Ultimate Team accounts | at least 4 active days |
| Account with a past rule violation | longer, or no access |
Watch the UTC day
The day change follows UTC, not the clock at home. In winter, a new UTC day starts at midnight in the UK and Ireland and at 1am in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. If you finish your third match at 00:40 in Berlin and open the app at 01:10, the two actions fall on different days. The easiest way to avoid this: log in to the app straight after match three.
Game and app are two different locks
New FC players also have to unlock the market inside the game first, through the starter objectives in Ultimate Team. Finishing them does not open the market in the Web App. The app keeps its own count of active days.
Still locked? Check these points
- Is the Web App signed in with the account you play with on console or PC?
- Did you play full matches, not matches you left early?
- Did matches and app login land on the same UTC day?
- Do other Ultimate Team accounts use your console? Then plan for at least 4 active days.
- Does the app show a block message instead of the normal lock? Then contact EA Help.
Why it is worth unlocking early
With the market in the app you can trade, list players and check prices from anywhere. That way your club keeps moving on days when you cannot play on your console. Questions about your account? Our support team is happy to help.
