The FC Community API: What It Is and What It Doesn't Do
On 27 July, EA opened an official way for a few community sites to read your Ultimate Team club. It's a genuinely good change, and it's being widely misread. Here's what it actually is.
What EA launched
The FC Community API lets approved websites ask EA for parts of your club — your players, your formations, your tactics — but only after you say yes on EA's own login screen. You are never asked for your password by the site, and connecting is entirely optional.
Three sites are approved: FUT.GG, FUTBIN and FUTWIZ, along with their apps. That's the full list. EA says it isn't accepting requests from other developers at the moment, and hasn't said when that might change.
Anything shared is kept for a maximum of 28 days per request.
Why it's a good thing
Until now, if you wanted a site to know what was in your club, you had to type it in or paste it from somewhere. Now, on those three sites, you can just allow it. Their squad builders and price pages can work from what you actually own instead of what an average player owns. That's a real improvement, and EA sanctioning it means you're not relying on anything unofficial to get it.
The part most coverage is getting wrong
The API reads. It doesn't act.
It can tell a website which players are sitting in your club. It cannot put eleven of them onto a pitch, satisfy a challenge's requirements, or press Submit. Nothing in this launch completes a Squad Building Challenge for anybody.
That distinction is the whole story. Reading your club and building a squad from it are separate jobs, and only one of them just became official.
Does anything change for FC Helper users?
No. FC Helper works where the SBC actually happens — in the Web App, on the challenge in front of you. It reads the requirements, fills the squad from your club, and leaves you to submit it. That's unaffected by an API that lets other websites look at your club list.
If you use FUT.GG, FUTBIN or FUTWIZ alongside FC Helper — plenty of people use one for prices and the other for solving — connecting your account there will make their pages more relevant to you. The two things sit side by side perfectly happily.
Should you connect your account?
That's your call, and it's a reasonable thing to do: it's EA's own login flow, no password is shared, it's optional, and you can decline. As with any permission you grant, connect the sites you actually use and skip the ones you don't.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FC Community API?
An official connection EA opened on 27 July 2026 that lets approved community websites read parts of your Ultimate Team club — your players, formations and tactics — after you allow it through EA's own login screen. You choose whether to connect, and you can decline.
Which sites can use it?
Three: FUT.GG, FUTBIN and FUTWIZ, along with their mobile apps. No other site or app has access.
Can other developers get access?
Not right now. EA's announcement says it is not accepting requests at this time, and gives no date for when that might change.
Does it share my EA password?
No. You sign in with EA directly and grant permission there. The approved site receives permission to read certain data, never your password or login details.
Does the API complete SBCs for me?
No. It shares information about your club so a site can show you something useful. It cannot put players into a squad or submit a challenge — that still happens in the Web App.
Does this replace FC Helper?
No, because the two do different jobs. The API lets a website read your club. FC Helper builds the squad on the pitch in front of you. Nothing about FC Helper changed when the API launched.
How long do those sites keep my data?
EA limits it to 28 days per request.
