Unlockd transfer market in web App ultemate team

Hello, I’m posting my case because I don’t know what else to do regarding the Transfer Market being locked on the Web App / Companion App in EA Sports FC 26.

I started Ultimate Team from scratch with a new club after linking my PlayStation Network account to a different EA account (an old one I had, since I can no longer use my previous EA account). Since then, I’ve been playing normally.

I have completed absolutely all the requirements that are usually needed to unlock the Transfer Market:

- More than 115 matches played in Ultimate Team

- More than 6 active days (the game even rewarded me with XP for this)

- Transfer Market fully unlocked and working in-game on PS5 (I can buy, sell, bid, relist, etc.)

- I have played all Ultimate Team modes:

- Division Rivals (currently Division 4)

- Squad Battles

- FUT Champions (in previous weeks)

- Draft (played recently)

- Friendlies (Ultimate Team)

- I have also played Rush

- I have completed basic objectives, SBCs, opened packs, and actively managed my club

Despite all of this, the Transfer Market on the Web App and Companion App is still locked with the message that I do not yet have access.

I have contacted EA Support multiple times, but I keep receiving the same response: to keep playing and that access is granted automatically. However, I have already done everything they suggest.

It has now been several days (well beyond 72 hours since the market was unlocked in-game), and nothing has changed.

From what I’ve researched, this might be related to switching the EA account linked to my PSN, and that the system may not have correctly applied Web App access.

My questions are:

Has anyone experienced this and managed to fix it?

Is there any real way to trigger the unlock, or is it just a matter of waiting?

Could this be a validation bug on EA’s side?

Any help or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi everyone, if you're having trouble unlocking the transfer market like I did a few days ago, I have a possible solution... In my case, I waited 8 real-time days for it to unlock. The 8 days start counting from the moment you unlock the market on your console (PS5, Xbox, etc.). After completing the objectives to unlock the market on your console, I recommend trying all the game modes at least once so the system detects your activity. This includes Career Mode, Clubs, Friendlies, Ultimate Team, etc. I strongly recommend completing the Daily Login SBCs in Ultimate Team. There's an objective related to this, and it helps register your account logins. I insist that you try all the game modes at least once. You should also enable the "Share Game Time" option so it's recorded. You can find this in your account settings in the EA FC 26 game itself or on the companion app website. Doing that should activate the market on the website after 8 real days. If you have any questions about this, or if you experience the same issue I did, feel free to ask.

Hi there. All the details we have for unlocking the market on the app are in this article. We're not able to unlock it for you. Keep in mind, the amount of accounts accessing UT on the device you play on are also considered as well as any previous sanctions you may have had. These will delay the market opening.

Hi, I don't have any prior sanctions. I've been waiting for over a week for the unlock on the website and playing all the game modes. EA just keeps telling me to keep playing, but I've already played everything there is to play, especially Ultimate Team. I've played many matches and completed many objectives, but the only solution they offer is to keep playing and try more modes, which I've already done. It's a shame they don't provide a real solution and that you spend money on this only to end up not having what you need unlocked. That's why I'm looking for someone who knows how to do it or if they're experiencing the same problem as me.

Well, I've been waiting for over a week for the market to unlock on the web app and I'm still waiting... I spoke with EA support and their solution is for me to keep playing and they can't do anything for me, which is frustrating.

The best I can tell you is to keep playing. The market will unlock when it's supposed to.
