Before you order: the Transfer Market opens in your FC 27 Web App, two-step verification is on and your EA backup codes are to hand. Coins stay on the platform you pick.
EA gives its FUT deadlines in UTC, which matches UK time in winter and runs an hour behind it in summer. Below is the FC 27 Rivals rewards time in the UK, the window that counts as an active day for the Web App market and the 7 November login deadline, all turned into the time on your own watch.

GMT or BST
Division Rivals weekly rewards
EA Help’s time is 06:59 UTC every Thursday. The article predates FC 27’s launch, so if a drop seems late, check in the game.
Current UTC day for Web App active days
Finish three Ultimate Team matches and open the Web or Companion App before this window closes to bank one active day.
Last moment for the console or PC login
After this, the Web and Companion Apps need at least one FC 27 Ultimate Team login on your console or PC.
GMT and BST
Why the UK time moves
EA publishes its FUT times in Coordinated Universal Time, UTC. The UK only shares that time in winter: from the last Sunday in October to the last Sunday in March the country runs on Greenwich Mean Time, which is the same as UTC. The rest of the year it runs on British Summer Time, one hour ahead.
So an EA time never changes, but the UK time it lands on does. At the moment the UK is on GMT, so EA’s times and UK times match; the clocks go forward on Sunday 28 March 2027.
Thursday mornings
When the Rivals drop lands
According to EA Help, Rivals weekly rewards are released on Thursdays at 06:59 UTC. So the FC 27 Rivals rewards time in the UK is one minute to seven between late October and late March, and one minute to eight through the summer. EA’s article was last updated before FC 27 came out, which is why we give it as EA Help’s time rather than a promise.
What arrives depends on your division and your results. In FC 27 Division Rivals pays more coins than last season, and every pack reward was tradeable at launch, so a Thursday can make a real difference to a club’s balance. The figures for each mode are in how to make coins in FC 27.
Player guides on trading point to reward drops as moments when a lot of new supply reaches the market at once. If you trade, the hours after the drop are worth watching. If you’re selling a card that just came out of a reward pack, bear in mind that plenty of other players may be listing the same one.
Active days
Late sessions and the UTC day
Brand-new clubs, and players who have lost their automatic access, open the Web and Companion App market by collecting active days. EA counts each one inside a single calendar day in UTC.
In winter that’s simply your own day, midnight to midnight. In summer the UTC day starts and ends at 1am UK time, which catches out late players: a match finished at 00:40 BST counts towards the day that’s ending, not the one just starting. If your third match and your app login fall either side of 1am, they land on different days, and neither half is enough on its own.
The rest of the unlock rules, including how many days most accounts need, are in our guide to unlocking the Transfer Market in FC 27.
7 November 2026
The apps deadline, to the second
EA’s cut-off for the console or PC login is 23:59:50 UTC on Saturday 7 November 2026. The UK went back to GMT on 25 October, so on a UK clock it’s identical: ten seconds before midnight on that Saturday.
From that moment, a club keeps its app access only if its owner has opened Ultimate Team in FC 27 on the console or PC itself, even just the once. If you play there every week, nothing changes for you. If you’ve been running your club from your phone, switch the console or PC on by Saturday night.
Launch week
How FC 27 began, on UK time
EA set the Web App going at 17:00 UTC on 16 September and the Companion App refresh followed a day later at the same time, 6pm in the UK both times. The EA Play trial followed at 04:00 UTC on 18 September.
One detail worked in UK players’ favour. EA’s PC start, 23:00 UTC, fell exactly on midnight British Summer Time, while consoles opened at midnight local time, so in Britain PC and console players started at the same moment, both for early access (the Ultimate and Ultimate Plus Editions) and for the full launch.
The FC 26 Web App had already gone offline on 11 September, and since 17 September both apps work only for FC 27. The first season, Ones to Watch, lasted from 17 September until 22 October 2026, and EA has passes lined up for five seasons in all.
Short answers
Questions about UK times
What time do Rivals rewards come out in the UK?
Thursdays at 06:59 UTC, according to EA Help. On a UK clock that’s 06:59 from the last Sunday in October to the last Sunday in March, while the country is on GMT, and 07:59 during British Summer Time. The help article was last updated before FC 27 launched, so if a drop looks late, check the game before assuming anything is wrong.
Does an active day reset at midnight UK time?
Only in winter. EA counts active days for the Web App market by the UTC calendar day, which matches UK time while the UK is on GMT. During British Summer Time the day turns over at 1am instead, so anything you play between midnight and 1am still counts towards the day before, not the new one.
When do UK clocks change this season?
They last went back on Sunday 25 October 2026, putting the UK on GMT, the same time as EA’s UTC. They go forward again on Sunday 28 March 2027, and from then on every EA time lands an hour later on UK clocks. The live clock on this page switches over by itself.
What if I miss the 7 November console login?
EA’s wording sets a condition rather than a one-off window: after 23:59:50 UTC on 7 November 2026, keeping the Web and Companion Apps requires one or more FC 27 Ultimate Team sign-ins made on your console or PC. EA doesn’t describe any other penalty, so if you’ve missed it, that login is the thing to do.
