Why FC Points prices differ by region
EA sets FC Points prices in local currencies, adjusting for each country's purchasing power. As a result, the same Points in Turkey or Argentina can cost several times less than in Europe or the US. Players worldwide take advantage of this.

Prices are approximate and may change with exchange rates and EA's pricing policy.
Why Turkey is the most popular region
The Turkish region traditionally offers some of the lowest FC Points prices. The reason is the Turkish lira (TRY), which has depreciated significantly against the dollar and euro in recent years. EA has not been quick to revise local prices upward at the same pace as exchange rates move.
How to buy FC Points at Turkish prices via Marix
Directly changing your EA account region carries risk — EA tracks IP addresses and purchase history. The safest method:
- Buy an EA gift card for your target region on Marix. Select a card with the right denomination (e.g., 100 TRY for Turkey).
- Activate the card in the EA App. Go to wallet settings, enter the code — funds will be credited in the regional currency.
- Purchase FC Points inside the game. Use the topped-up balance to buy Points in EA FC 26.
Important: your account must already be registered in the target region. Changing the region of an existing account is a separate process that EA allows only a limited number of times.
Risks and things to watch out for
- Regional content restrictions. Some promos or FUT Events may not be available in certain regions.
- Account region changes. EA allows region changes but limits how often. Plan carefully.
- Exchange rate fluctuations. Savings depend on the current rate — check before purchasing.
