What do FC Points unlock in FC 27?

FC Points are the money you spend inside Ultimate Team and Clubs, and they cover far more than just packs. On PlayStation, EA lists that you can use FC Points to get Packs and stadium customization items from the Ultimate Team Store; Ultimate Draft entries; Evolution slots; Season Passes; and cosmetic items to customize your Pro in the Clubs Store.

The single most efficient use is usually the Premium Season Pass. In FC 26 that pass cost 1,000 FC Points, which many players consider the most predictable value compared to gambling points on packs.

Keep in mind that FC Points and Coins are two different things. FC Points are bought with real money for packs, Draft and Evolutions; Coins are earned in-game and cannot be purchased from EA. You can earn Coins in EAS FC Ultimate Team by playing matches or selling Items on the Transfer Market, but you can't purchase Coins.

How much do FC Points cost in FC 27?

FC 27 official prices are not confirmed until the game launches, so treat everything here as a reference from FC 26. What's consistent every year is that FC Points price is always the same and EA Sports doesn't make discounts on FC Points.

In FC 26, points were sold in bundles of eight sizes. On the US PlayStation Store the entry tiers ran 100 for $0.99, 500 for $4.99, 1050 for $9.99 and 1600 for $14.99 , scaling up to the largest 18,500 bundle. As a rough European reference, Startselect listed 2800 EA FC points for €24.99 (£21.99) and 5900 FC Points for €49.99 (£45.49). Bundle sizes historically span 100 to 18,500 FC Points (the 18,500 tier was added back in FC 24). Larger bundles generally offer better value, reducing the cost per unit. If you're an EA Play subscriber, you get a 10% discount on FC Points purchases. Prices remain unchanged year over year in key markets like the US and UK, but in other countries they can fluctuate by up to 50%, mainly due to exchange rates. FC Points are not sold in every region - for FC 26, FC Points purchase is not available in Belgium and South Korea.

How to buy FC Points cheaply and safely?

The cheapest safe route is buying through an official store and, where it helps, topping up your wallet with a discounted regional gift card before purchasing points in-game. There is no legitimate discount on the points themselves, so the savings come from gift-card deals and buying the right bundle size.

Here's the important safety line: buying FC Points is fine, but buying Coins from unofficial sellers is a different story. EA is blunt about it - buying Coins from a third party is against their rules, and you can earn Coins by playing Ultimate Team and selling Items on the Transfer Market, but you can't buy Coins. Breaking that rule can trigger serious penalties. EA may remove your account from the Leaderboards, remove your Ultimate Team Coins, delete your Club, or temporarily or permanently ban your account from online play, including all of Ultimate Team and Clubs. The safest FC Points buying path is always the official store for your platform, with a confirmation email kept as proof. Watch out for regional restrictions: FC Points must be bought in the same region where the game was originally purchased.

Keep in mind that if you're chasing Coins rather than Points to fund a squad, use a reputable, established trader and understand the risk profile rather than the cheapest random site.

How to activate FC Points on PlayStation, Xbox and PC?

You can buy FC Points directly in-game or through your platform store, and if you bought a gift card you redeem the code first, then purchase points from your wallet balance. The process differs slightly per platform. PlayStation (PS5/PS4) - If you have a PSN gift card, open the PlayStation Store and select Redeem Code (on PS4 it's at the bottom of the sidebar). - Enter the code to top up your PlayStation wallet. - Search for FC Points in the store, pick your bundle and pay with your wallet balance. - The FC Points are automatically added to your game. Xbox (Series X|S / Xbox One) - Press the Xbox button to open the guide and select Store. - If using a gift card, open the side menu and select Redeem, then enter your code. - Search for FC Points, choose your bundle and confirm the purchase. PC (EA app / Steam / Epic) - Open the EA app and search for FC Points, or buy in-game via the Ultimate Team Store. - On Steam, redeem a Steam Wallet code first via Account details, then buy points. - Confirm the purchase and the points appear on your account.

Note one hard limit: FC Points are tied to a platform. FC Points are platform-specific and cannot be transferred between PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, so select the correct platform when purchasing.

Can you transfer FC Points from FC 26 to FC 27?

Yes - EA has offered a one-time FC Points carryover between yearly editions for over a decade, so you can expect to move an outstanding FC 26 balance into FC 27. The exact FC 27 rules and deadline are TBD until EA confirms them, but the mechanics have been stable across FC 25 and FC 26.

The transfer only happens on console or PC, not the apps. EA's help page states that the only way to transfer your FC Points is by logging on to the new game on your console or PC - you can't carry them over using the Web or Companion Apps, and the first time you log in to any mode a pop-up gives you the option to transfer. How the carryover has worked (FC 25 → FC 26 pattern) - One-time and irreversible: transferring points is permanent - once you transfer, you can't move them back to the previous edition. - Same platform family only: you can only transfer within the same console family, so you can't move points from Xbox Series X|S to PlayStation 5. - Older to newer within a family is fine: you can transfer from an older generation to a newer generation console of the same type, like Xbox One to Xbox Series X|S. - Deadline: the FC 25-to-FC 26 window remained open until December 31, 2025, and after that unused FC Points stayed locked in the old edition. Expect a similar late-December deadline for FC 27, but wait for EA's confirmation.

FAQ

Summary

Buying FC Points safely comes down to a few rules: use only official stores for your platform, buy the largest bundle you'll actually spend (better value per point), and stack savings through EA Play's discount or regional gift cards rather than any fake "cheap points" offer. Remember that FC 27 pricing is to be confirmed until launch, so the FC 26 figures here are just a reference.

If you're carrying a balance over, do the one-time, same-platform-family transfer the moment you first log into FC 27, and don't spend anything until it's done. And keep the golden distinction clear: FC Points are bought from EA, while Coins are earned in-game and never purchased from third parties without accepting the risk.
