To build a great team in EA Sports FC 26, you’ll need to buy and sell players. If you’re having trouble accessing the transfer market, here’s how to get it working so you can start trading.
How to unlock EA FC 26 transfer market
For Ultimate Team players, the start of a new season is always exciting. There’s nothing quite like getting valuable players in your packs early on and then using them to make profitable trades in the transfer market.
If you’re a new player, playing on a different device, or your account has issues, you’ll need to finish the objectives listed under the ‘Foundations’ section.
New Beginnings
- Complete the Passes and Shots Moment
- Play three Squad Battles
- Play Squad Battles Featured Squad
- Complete Football 101 within Foundation Moments (seven moments)
- Score 5 Goals
Venturing Out
- Play three Rush matches
- Complete the Intro to Rewards EVOs (found under Rewards once you have played three Rush matches)
- Score 10 goals in any Ultimate Team game mode
- Play five matches in any Ultimate Team game mode
Diving In
- Play five Ultimate Team Rush matches
- Play five Squad Battles matches on minimum Semi-Pro difficulty
- Play five Rivals matches
- Play 15 matches in any Ultimate Team game mode
On Your Way
- Play 10 matches in any Ultimate Team game mode
- Complete five Rush bonuses
- Assist 25 times in any Ultimate Team game mode
- Complete any two SBC groups
Completing these goals will earn you rewards, but it will also take a significant amount of time. Unlocking the player transfer market is key to building a strong Ultimate Team, so focus on completing the ‘New Beginnings’ objectives first, then work on the others as you play the game.
Just so you know, you won’t immediately have complete control of the player market. You can put your players up for sale, but you’ll have to wait a little while before you can start looking for or bidding on new players.
Players on PCs may experience a wait of up to 48 hours, while those on consoles will likely wait up to 24 hours.
Why is the FC 26 transfer market locked?
To keep the FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) economy stable and prevent issues caused by coin selling and automated programs (bots), EA restricts new accounts’ access to the transfer market. This also helps new players learn how the game works through modes like Moments and Milestones, preparing them for competitive gameplay.
The in-game store, whether you’re playing on the web or the app, might be locked at first. EA says if your account is in good standing, it usually takes two days of regular play (about three games a day) to unlock it. But, if you’ve created more than one account on the same device, it will likely take four days to gain access.
