FC Playtime tracks your time spent in FC 27 and the number of matches played weekly (excluding Simulated Career Mode matches). Time Spent includes both in-match and menu navigation time, divided into two categories:
- Online Time
This covers periods when you are connected to EA Servers and FC is active. The counter stops when the session times out. - Offline Time
This includes time spent in the game while disconnected from EA Servers. It is stored locally, never uploaded, and resets to zero each week.
You can only see the time spent in the FC 27 Companion and Web App within the apps themselves. It will appear as a different value to your time in-game on a console or PC.
The total time and average time displayed in-game on console and PC doesn’t include time spent on the FC 27 Companion App and Web App, but console and PC time is factored into the total and average weekly time displayed in the Companion and Web App.
The total time and average time displayed in-game on console and PC doesn’t include time spent on the FC 27 Companion App and Web App, but console and PC time is factored into the total and average weekly time displayed in the Companion and Web App.
Time spent in menus can count towards your total. However, the Online Time counter stops when your connection session times out. The way time is recorded can also depend on the platform and its suspend or rest mode.
Certain conditions change how Time Spent is calculated:
- Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S in Suspend Mode
The timer stops instantly; - Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S in Constrain Mode
A disconnect will happen after several minutes of EA Server inactivity; - PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in Rest Mode (inactive)
The timer stops instantly; - PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in Rest Mode (active)
The timer runs for about a minute before pausing.
Match Limits can be viewed in the Web and Companion Apps, but they can only be changed in game on console or PC. Pack Purchase Limits and FC Points Purchase Limits can be changed through the Ultimate Team Playtime menu or through the Web and Companion Apps.
Weekly limits roll over on Sunday night at midnight GMT.
rom the FC 27 main menu, select [Settings], [Playtime], [Match Limits], and [Edit Limit]. Enter the number of matches you want to play per week before receiving a reminder. Match Limits are shared across all game modes, although simulated Career Mode matches are excluded.
FC Points purchase information is only available when Playtime is accessed through Ultimate Team, the Web App, or the Companion App. Make sure Playtime is enabled and restart the relevant App after changing the setting.
When you access FC Playtime through Ultimate Team, it lets you see how many FC Points you have bought in UT. You can set a limit from the FC Points Limit menu by following these steps:
- From the UT main screen, press R1/RB twice to go to the [Club] tab;
- Select [Settings];
- Select [Playtime];
- Select [FC Points Purchase Limit];
- Select ‘Edit Limit’;
- Using the on-screen keypad, set a limit for how many FC Points you can buy per week.
FC Points bought outside of Ultimate Team, such as retail cards or first-party stores, are added to your weekly FC Points total and all-time purchases once redeemed, and after you log out of UT and log back in.

When you reach or attempt to exceed a Playtime limit, a reminder is displayed. The reminder does not block the activity, so you can continue if you choose.
You can choose from three different actions when you receive a reminder:
- OK
Choosing this will acknowledge the reminder and take you back to the previous menu you were in; - Review Limits
Choosing this will take you to the FC Playtime menu so that you can adjust your limits; - Ignore For 1 hour
Choosing this will allow you to go past your limit for one hour.
