Every EA SPORTS FC release tends to reward the players who show up early. EA hasn't confirmed the full list of FC 27 launch rewards yet, but previous FIFA and FC releases follow a consistent pattern — bonuses tied to account activity, pre-orders, Companion App usage, esports events, and loyalty programs. If you were active and prepared going into past launches, you likely noticed the head start it gave you in those first few weeks of Ultimate Team. This guide walks through everything worth doing now, before FC 27 arrives, so you're not scrambling to catch up once the game drops. We'll update this article as soon as EA confirms official FC 27 launch details.

Complete Every FC 26 Seasonal Objective
This is probably the most overlooked piece of preparation, mostly because it doesn't feel like it's related to next year's game at all. Throughout the FC 26 cycle, EA continues to release a steady stream of content through the Season Pass, along with Daily Objectives, Weekly Objectives, Milestone Objectives, and Event Objectives tied to individual promos.
Completing these consistently earns you packs, Player Picks, Evolutions, cosmetics, coins, and XP — all useful in the current game, but staying active also matters for what comes next. Although Ultimate Team progress traditionally does not carry over from one title to another, active players often become eligible for preseason campaigns and loyalty rewards once EA launches the next title. Staying engaged also means you won't miss limited-time objectives that occasionally unlock content ahead of the FC 27 release window.
Pre-Season Events
Every year, EA launches a Pre-Season campaign near the end of the current game's life cycle. Historically, these events have included packs, loan players, objectives, and SBCs tied to the current title. In some years, EA has also connected preseason participation to rewards redeemable in the next game, though the specifics have varied release to release — which is exactly why it pays to participate rather than assume it won't matter.
Never Miss Free Login Rewards
Throughout the year, EA gives away a surprising amount of free content simply for logging into Ultimate Team regularly. This includes Daily Login SBCs, Daily Login Packs, Weekly Rewards, Seasonal Login Bonuses, and content tied to Festival Promotions, FUT Birthday, Team of the Season, and FUTTIES.
Individually, these rewards look small enough to skip. But across several months of consistent logins, they add up to hundreds of packs and a meaningful stockpile of fodder — exactly the kind of resource that makes early SBCs and squad-building in FC 27 far less painful.
Register for the FC 27 Closed Beta
EA typically selects beta testers based on a combination of factors tied to your EA Account — including your region, whether marketing preferences are enabled, and your recent gameplay activity. Players who are consistently active tend to have a better shot at an invite, though nothing about beta selection is guaranteed.
To improve your odds, go into your EA Account settings and make sure your Email Preferences are enabled. This is also the same setting that determines whether you'll actually see a beta invitation if one comes through, so it's worth checking now rather than after invitations go out.
Enable EA Login Verification
Without Login Verification enabled, players can lose access to the Companion App, beta participation, and various rewards tied to their account. It's a small setting that causes a disproportionate amount of frustration when it's missed, especially during high-traffic periods like a beta rollout or launch week.
EA offers a few verification methods, including an authenticator app, email verification, and the option to mark specific devices as trusted. Setting this up now — well before FC 27 launches — means one less thing to deal with when you're trying to jump into the Companion App or claim early rewards.
Download the FC 27 Companion App Immediately
Historically, the Companion App launches a few days before the full game does, which gives early adopters a genuine head start. During that early window, you can begin transfer trading, complete Starter SBCs, open Welcome Packs, manage your club, complete Objectives, build squads, and trade on the transfer market before the console version even goes live.
Many experienced Ultimate Team players make several thousand coins before they've played a single match, simply by trading through the Companion App in that pre-launch window. Having the app downloaded and your account verified ahead of time means you're not wasting those early days on setup instead of trading.
Watch EA SPORTS FC Streams for Twitch Drops
Twitch Drops are one of the more underused ways to earn free content in the lead-up to a new release. EA regularly ties drops to EA SPORTS FC Pro events, major tournaments, launch reveals, and community streams covering the game.
Rewards distributed through drops have included packs, loan players, cosmetics, stadium items, and tokens — all for simply having your Twitch account linked and watching a qualifying stream for the required duration. Make sure your Twitch account is linked to your EA Account well before any major reveal or tournament stream, since drops typically require the link to be active before you start watching, not after.
Subscribe to EA Emails
A lot of players disable marketing emails from EA without realizing what they're opting out of. Beyond promotional noise, EA also distributes beta invitations, early announcements, special offers, launch reminders, and redemption codes through this same channel.
To make sure you're not missing anything important, log into your EA Account, head into your communication or email preferences, and confirm that marketing and product update emails are enabled. It takes a minute and directly affects whether you'll even know about a beta invite or early code before it expires.
Pre-Order FC 27 (If the Bonuses Suit You)
EA typically splits pre-order bonuses across a Standard Edition and an Ultimate Edition, with the higher tier carrying the bulk of the extra content. Historically, Ultimate Editions have included early access to the game, a bundle of FC Points depending on the edition, Evolution benefits, loan players for early Ultimate Team use, occasional Hero or Icon bonuses, and cosmetic items.
Whether pre-ordering makes sense depends entirely on which bonuses matter to you — early access alone won't be worth it for everyone, while a loan player and FC Points bundle might be, depending on how you play. It's worth stating clearly: none of this is confirmed for FC 27 yet, and exact bonuses will depend on EA's official announcement closer to release.
Understand What Carries Over From FC 26
One of the most common questions every year is what actually transfers between titles. The table below breaks down what has historically carried over versus what resets with each new release:
| Transfers to FC 27 | Does Not Transfer |
|---|---|
| EA Account | Ultimate Team players |
| Controller settings (sometimes) | Coins |
| Club name (may persist) | Packs |
| Founder status (if applicable) | SBC progress |
| Linked platform accounts | Evolutions |
| Account security settings | Objectives |
Stay Active During Pre-Season
The final weeks before a new release are historically some of the most generous of the entire cycle. EA tends to ramp up special SBCs, objectives, free packs, XP opportunities, and access to high-rated players during this window, alongside repeatable content designed to keep engagement high right up until launch.
Staying active during this period isn't just about squeezing extra value out of FC 26 — it's also the window where preseason-to-next-title bonuses, when EA offers them, tend to be tied to account activity. Logging in consistently during pre-season costs very little time and has historically been worth it.
FC 27 Preparation — Frequently Asked Questions
Can FC 26 coins transfer to FC 27?
No. Coins do not carry over between titles. Every new EA SPORTS FC release starts Ultimate Team from scratch, so any coins in your FC 26 club will not be available in FC 27.
Do FC Points carry over?
FC Points have not historically carried over between titles. If you have unused points sitting in FC 26, it's worth spending them before the game cycle ends rather than assuming they'll be available in FC 27.
Can packs be saved for the next game?
No, unopened packs do not transfer between titles. Any packs you're holding onto should be opened before FC 26 support ends, ideally during a promo window when pack odds are more favorable.
Will Evolutions transfer to FC 27?
No. Evolutions are tied to the current game's Ultimate Team and do not carry over. Any partially completed Evolutions should be finished before the cycle ends if you want to use the upgraded player.
How do Founder Rewards work?
Founder status, when offered, is generally tied to your EA Account rather than your in-game progress, meaning it can persist into future titles if you qualify. Exact criteria and rewards vary by year and haven't been confirmed for FC 27.
Is the Companion App available before release?
Historically, yes. The Companion App has typically launched a few days ahead of the full game, giving early access to trading, Starter SBCs, and squad management before console or PC release.
Can I receive Beta access automatically?
No, beta access is never guaranteed. EA selects testers based on account activity, region, and marketing preferences, but there's no way to secure an invitation with certainty.
How do Twitch Drops work?
Twitch Drops require your Twitch account to be linked to your EA Account before watching a qualifying stream. Once linked, watching for the required duration during an eligible broadcast — such as an FC Pro event or launch reveal — typically unlocks the reward automatically.
Should I complete Pre-Season Objectives?
Yes. Pre-season is typically one of the most reward-heavy windows of the entire cycle, and staying active during this period has historically been connected to loyalty and preseason bonuses when EA offers them for the next title.
Will my Ultimate Team reset with FC 27?
Yes. Every new title starts Ultimate Team fresh — players, coins, packs, and SBC progress all reset. Only your EA Account and its associated settings carry forward.
Conclusion
EA hasn't revealed the complete FC 27 reward structure yet, but preparing early has consistently given players an advantage in every previous FIFA and EA SPORTS FC release. Completing seasonal objectives, participating in preseason events, securing your EA account with login verification, using the Companion App from day one, claiming free login rewards, and following official EA announcements all put you in a stronger position to make the most of whatever launch bonuses FC 27 ends up offering. This article will be updated as soon as EA confirms official details.
