With the FIFA 22 launch right around the corner, EA Sports has confirmed the official release date for the Web App and the Companion App.

The FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) Companion App, in particular, allows players to control their team outside of the game and get the best possible head start ahead of the games official launch.

Essentially, it gives players the opportunity to access the FUT Transfer Market, manage their squad, build and submit Squad Building Challenges, and buy packs from the store - all on your mobile device.

Ahead of its release this week, we take a look at everything we know about it so far.


FIFA 22 Companion App release date

Ultimate Team fans can start their FUT 22 journey with the FUT Web App that launches on Wednesday, September 22.

Meanwhile, the FUT Companion App will launch on Thursday, September 23.

A message on the official FIFA site adds: "The FUT Web App and other FIFA Web features are down for maintenance while we prepare for FIFA 22. The new web app launches on September 22nd."

The release time can be tricky to get right as there can be huge delays on the day of release.

However, based on previous years, we would expect the app to launch after 6pm BST.

The Companion App is also expected to arrive around the same time, but as this will require a patch to access, there could be a longer wait.

The latest that you will be able to use the FUT Companion App without logging into the full version of FIFA 22 is Sunday, October 17.

What is the FIFA 22 Companion App?

The mobile app is a popular companion for fans of the FUT mode, offering a way to control your team on the go.

It allows gamers to access key FUT features such as managing your squad and preparing for matches when on the go, including through squad selection and consumables.

FIFA fans can also buy and sell players on the transfer market and purchase and open FUT cards in the store, expanding their squads and completing squad building challenges.

You can also customise your FUT stadium on the go, customising everything from the walkout music to goal celebrations, while last year’s version introduced the feature to choose a side for FUT Events.
