Understanding the Transfer Process
Let’s break down the process step-by-step:
- Log into EA SPORTS FC 24 on your console or PC: Make sure you’re using the same account that you used to play FIFA 23. This is absolutely vital. If you have multiple accounts, double-check which one contains the FIFA Points you wish to transfer.
- Navigate to Ultimate Team (FUT): Once you’re in EA SPORTS FC 24, go to the Ultimate Team mode.
- The Transfer Prompt: Upon entering Ultimate Team for the first time, the game should automatically prompt you to transfer your FIFA Points. If it doesn’t happen automatically, check for a notification or a menu option within Ultimate Team.
- Confirm the Transfer: Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm the transfer. Double-check the amount of points being transferred before confirming.
- Enjoy Your Transferred Points: Your FIFA Points should now be available in your EA SPORTS FC 24 account.
Important Considerations Before Transferring
- One-Time Transfer: This is a one-time, irreversible transfer. Once you move the points, you can’t move them back to FIFA 23 or to a different account. Choose wisely!
- Same Console Family: The transfer must be within the same console family. This means you can transfer from FIFA 23 on PlayStation 4 to EA SPORTS FC 24 on PlayStation 5, or from FIFA 23 on Xbox One to EA SPORTS FC 24 on Xbox Series X|S. You cannot transfer between PlayStation and Xbox.
- Web App/Companion App Limitation: As mentioned, the transfer can only be done through the game on your console or PC.
- No Other Transfers: Your FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) Coin Balance and Items from FIFA 23 do not transfer to EA SPORTS FC 24. Only FIFA Points are eligible for transfer. Think of it as starting fresh each year with your squad building!
Troubleshooting Transfer Issues
If you encounter problems during the transfer process, here are some common solutions:
- Restart the Game: A simple restart can often resolve minor glitches.
- Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure you have a stable internet connection.
- Contact EA Support: If the problem persists, contact EA Support. Be prepared to provide your account details and proof of purchase for your FIFA Points.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are some common questions and answers about transferring FIFA Points:
1. Can I transfer FIFA Points from FIFA 22 directly to EA SPORTS FC 24?
No, you cannot. You can only transfer FIFA Points from the previous year’s game, which in this case is FIFA 23. You would have needed to transfer them to FIFA 23 first, if you had not previously done so.
2. What if I accidentally transferred my points to the wrong account?
Unfortunately, transferring FIFA Points is a one-time, irreversible process. If you transferred them to the wrong account, you will need to contact EA Support as soon as possible, but there is no guarantee that they can reverse the transfer.
3. I didn’t get the transfer prompt when I logged into EA SPORTS FC 24. What should I do?
First, restart the game and check again. Also, carefully navigate through the Ultimate Team menus; there may be a notification or option to initiate the transfer manually. If neither works, contact EA Support.
4. Can I transfer my FIFA 23 Ultimate Team progress to EA SPORTS FC 24?
No, you cannot. Only FIFA Points can be transferred. FUT Coin Balance, players, items, and other progress do not carry over.
5. Is there a deadline for transferring FIFA Points?
While EA typically doesn’t announce a hard deadline, it’s always best to transfer your points as soon as possible after purchasing EA SPORTS FC 24. It’s highly advisable to transfer well before the next iteration of the game comes out to avoid any potential issues with game updates or server maintenance.
6. What if I switch console families (e.g., from PlayStation to Xbox)?

The bonus FIFA Points from the Ultimate Edition will typically be added to your account upon your first login to Ultimate Team in EA SPORTS FC 24. However, they are separate from the FIFA Points you might be transferring from FIFA 23.
