It is usually unveiled before the release of EA Play (formerly EA Access), which is coming out on October 1. More details on that can be found here.

FIFA 21 Companion App release date

Just like other years gone by, the Companion App will release a day after the Web App – October 1, 2020. This is the same date as the EA Play early access trial.

By the time both of these are available, all players – even those without EA Access – will be able to jump into FUT 21 and build their first team. They can then play with it using EA Play early access, which grants them 10 hours of gameplay in a pre-release trial of the game.

Players can’t wait to jump into FIFA 21’s Web App and make their first team.

With September 30 being the launch date, the Web App is expected to land at some stage during the day. An ETA is unconfirmed, however.

There’s a chance that this startup time might be different for each region, but 6pm (BST) looks like the time a lot of content is being announced for the game. If that trend continues, the Web App could be landing at around that time as well. We’ll have to wait and see.

FIFA 21 players will be hoping to get the likes of Mbappe in their FUT Packs as soon as possible.

This is a question people ask pretty much every year, and the answer is yes. There’s a bit of a catch, though.

You can open packs using the Web App, with FIFA Points, once the game has been released in early access. You can purchase them using the early access version and open via the Web App, but not you can not buy them directly through the FIFA 21 Web App & Companion App until the game’s worldwide release.
