Issues with Transfer Market Access and Rush Game Modes on Nintendo Switch 2
Here's yet another report of being unable to unlock the transfer market in-game as a Nintendo Switch 2 player. Has anyone from EA or the community been able to fix this, or know why these features might not be working?
The issue of a broken game mode is preventing access to other game modes.

I’ve been playing EA Sports FC 26 Ultimate Team on Nintendo Switch 2 for about a month now, and I still don’t have access to a couple of major features — the Transfer Market and Rush game modes.
I’ve contacted EA Support multiple times, and the only response I’ve received is that the issue has been reported to the internal team. I was basically told to wait and hope the developers address it, with no way to track the case.
Here’s what’s going on:
- I’ve played extensively and reached Level 40 in Season 1, so I’ve clearly met normal progression requirements.
- The Transfer Market remains locked, and the in-game objective to unlock it requires me to complete Rush game mode objectives.
- The problem with Rush is that whenever I try to find teammates, I never find any, so the matchmaking never completes and I can’t play the mode at all. Because of this, I also can’t complete the objective needed to unlock the Transfer Market.
I’ve also seen other forum posts describing the same issues on Nintendo Switch 2, and they don’t appear to have been resolved yet:

There appears to be a separate bug about transfer market access on the web and companion app for Switch 2 players. My issue is the inability to get access to the transfer market in any capacity in-game.
