Today, the Companion App for FIFA 19 is set to launch. Here is the information for users of iOS and Android devices.
Update: Find out when the FUT-19 app ends and the FUT-20 app starts here.
After the Web App comes the Companion App: Yesterday, on September 19th, the Web App went live just before 11 PM, which thousands of fans were waiting for. With it, FIFA veterans can create their Ultimate Team in FUT 19 before the official FIFA 19 release, claim daily gifts, and browse the transfer market.
Today, on September 20th, the Companion App is expected to follow. While the Web App functions without download and is primarily intended for desktop use, you can download and install the Companion App on your iOS or Android smartphones or tablets.
When does the Companion App launch? In previous years, the Companion App has usually been available for download one day after the Web App. According to information from the EA Help page, it has been officially confirmed that the Companion App for FUT 19 will launch on September 20th.
Update 8 PM: The app is now live. Here is the official EA page, where you can find the download links for the FUT app for iOS and Android below. Currently (8 PM), it still says “FUT 18,” but the new FUT-19 apps are already waiting in the stores.
The Content of the FUT 19 Companion App
You can do the same in the Companion App as in the Web App:
- Manage your FUT squads and club items,
- Complete Squad Building Challenges (SBCs),
- Visit the transfer market and buy and sell players and items,
- View the TOTW (Team of the Week),
- Inspect all cards, leaderboards, and more stats,
- Purchase sets in the FUT store
- and complete goals (daily goals, weekly goals).
New features for FUT 19 are:
- Updated compatibility

Requirements to Start the EA Sports Companion App Today
These are the requirements for early access:
- You must have established a FUT club in FIFA 18 before August 1st.
- This FUT-18 club must be valid until the launch of the FUT 19 Companion App.
- Your account must also have a “good reputation.” This means if you have been banned or otherwise have a negative history, you may not receive early access.
When will players without early access start? If you are not a FUT-18 veteran, you will only gain access to the Companion App once you log in to FIFA 19, create your club in FUT 19, and answer a security question there. You will have to wait until the release of FIFA 19 on September 28th, or on September 25th with early access.
The early access lasts until October 10th. By then, you must purchase FIFA 19 and log in to your platform in FUT 19 to continue using the Companion App in full.

The size of the app for iOS and Android is unknown. Expected to be around 40MB. Other requirements and download prerequisites will be revealed soon.
