How long does it take to unlock the Transfer Market in EA SPORTS FC 27?

Our advisors can't grant access to the FC Transfer Market or tell you when you’ll get access. 
How long it takes to unlock the Transfer Market depends on a few factors.
  • Whether your account is in good standing and if you’ve ever broken the FC rules. 
  • The number of Ultimate Team™ accounts you’re using on the same device.
  • The number of active days you’ve played Ultimate Team™.
    • An active day is when you’ve played three full matches in Ultimate Team™ and logged in to the Web or Companion App within a calendar day, following UTC timezones, per Ultimate Team™ account.
      • Playing more than three matches per day won’t increase your chances of unlocking the Transfer Market.
    • Learn how to set up FC Playtime to check your time spent and matches played.
Here are some examples of how many active days of playing it takes to get access to the Transfer Market. 
  • If your Ultimate Team™ account is in good standing and no other Ultimate Team™ account has been created or used on your device, you’ll normally earn access after playing two active days. 
  • If your Ultimate Team™ account is in good standing, but other Ultimate Team™ accounts have been created on or used on your device, earning access will normally take at least four active days. 
  • The more Ultimate Team™ accounts used on the device, the longer it might take for each account to earn access.

How will I know when I’ve earned access?

We’ll send a message to your Ultimate Team™ account in-game to let you know when you unlock access. You can also check the Web and Companion Apps.

How will I know if I’m blocked from the Transfer Market?

You’ll get one of these messages in your Web or Companion App if your account is blocked from the Transfer Market:
  1. 1
    “Your account has been blocked from using the Transfer Market on the Web and Companion Apps due to breaking our rules. Although you can’t access the Football Ultimate Team™ Transfer Market on Web and Companion Apps for the current FC title, you can still use the in-game Transfer Market. Check the email associated with your EA Account for more information.”
  2. 2
    “Your account has been blocked from using the Transfer Market due to breaking our rules. Check the email associated with your EA Account for more information.”

How do I regain access to the Transfer Market if I'm blocked?

If your account is blocked or banned, we’ll email you to explain why. We take these measures to ensure our communities remain positive, fun, fair, and safe for all.

Do Transfer Market bans roll over from FC 26 to FC 27?

If you were banned from the Transfer Market when playing FC 26, your ban won’t transfer to FC 27. However, you won’t have automatic access to the Transfer Market in FC 27 and will need to play Ultimate Team™ to earn it.  If you have a franchise ban from the FC franchise, this will carry over to FC 27 and affect your ability to access the Transfer Market.
