FC 26 Companion App Login Unavailable – Since Launch

I am unable to log in to both the Companion Web App and the mobile app for EA Sports FC 26.

Error message:
“Login Unavailable – We’re currently having trouble with login services.”

Important details:

  • The issue has been happening since the launch of FC 26
  • I have been contacting EA support for over a week with no solution
  • I can access Ultimate Team normally in-game on PC
  • The problem only affects the Companion App login (web and mobile)

Troubleshooting has already been completed multiple times:

  • Cleared cache and cookies
  • Tried different browsers and incognito mode
  • Reinstalled the mobile app
  • Used different devices and networks (Wi-Fi and mobile data)
  • Waited for the session timeout and performed a proper logout
  • Reset password and removed trusted devices

None of these steps resolved the issue.

EA support confirmed:

  • No restrictions or bans on my account
  • The issue was reported as a bug

Since this only affects Companion App access, this appears to be an account-specific backend issue (possibly a stuck session or sync problem).

Could an EA staff member please check my account status and escalate this to the relevant team?

Thank you.

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. Just to clarify — does EA Play count as having the full game for this requirement, or do I specifically need to own the standard/ultimate edition?

    I can already access Ultimate Team normally in-game, so I want to make sure whether EA Play could still be the reason the Companion App login isn’t working.

    Appreciate your help.

    Hello 111D4RK111​ ,

    There is a simple step that might help you access the companion app:

    You need to have a successful login into Ultimate Team on the full game on PC. I say full game because if you play the trial or showcase version (free version), it will not work.

    Once you stepped into Ultimate Team on the standard edition (full game), you will be able to access the companion app again.

    If you play the showcase version(free to play), uninstall it and reinstall a paid (full) version of the game.

    Let us know how it went.
