What are FC Points and why might they go missing
FC Points are EA FC 26's premium in-game currency, used for buying packs in Ultimate Team, entering Draft mode, and other paid features. You can purchase them through the EA App, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, or third-party gift cards.
Sometimes Points don't appear immediately after a successful payment. This is one of the most common player complaints, and in most cases it can be resolved without contacting support.
Main reasons FC Points are delayed or missing
Transaction still processing. After purchase, balance updates can take up to 24 hours — especially with bank transfers or certain e-wallets. Wait and check again.
Wrong account. If you have multiple EA or PSN/Xbox accounts, Points may have landed on the wrong profile. Make sure you're signed into the correct account.
Platform mismatch. FC Points are platform-specific. A purchase made on PlayStation will not carry over to Xbox or PC. This is EA's own policy and cannot be bypassed.
EA server issues. EA's servers occasionally experience load spikes, particularly on patch days or during major promotional events.
Gift card entered incorrectly. If you used a gift card, verify the code was entered without spaces and for the correct region.
Step-by-step fix
- Restart the EA App and the game. Close both applications completely, wait 1–2 minutes, then reopen them.
- Check your transaction history. Go to EA App → Account → Purchase History and confirm the transaction shows as completed.
- Verify you're on the right account. Sign out and sign back into your EA account inside the game — sessions can sometimes stall.
- Check EA server status. Visit EA Help Status to see if there are any active incidents.
- Wait 24 hours. Most delays resolve on their own within a day.
- Contact EA Support. If Points still haven't arrived, open a ticket at help.ea.com, attach a screenshot of your transaction, and include your account ID.
Frequently asked questions
