How to switch EA accounts on FIFA

The world of online video games is becoming more and more popular, and many games require you to create accounts on various platforms to allow players to save and sync their progress across multiple devices. In this context, FIFA is no exception , which requires the creation of an account to access now iconic modes, such as FIFA Ultimate Team (abbreviated to FUT).

The creation of so many profiles, however, can lead to some “misunderstandings”. On the other hand, which assiduous gamer has never connected an account wrong? It takes two clicks to “accept”, but then things are more complex to go back, which is why I am not surprised that you are now here and looking for information on how to switch EA accounts on FIFA .

You don’t have to worry: in this tutorial I will take into consideration all the possibilities of the case and I will explain to you just how to achieve this goal on all the most popular gaming platforms, from consoles to PC to mobile devices. That said, there is nothing left for me to do, except wish you good reading and have fun!

Preliminary information

Before going into the details of the procedure on how to change EA accounts on FIFA , I think it may interest you to know more about the matter.

Well, you should know that making a change to the Electronic Arts account associated with the gaming platform in use can lead to various “problems”. In fact, by disconnecting the account of a particular platform from the EA one, you lose various data : games, progress, DLC, expansions, additional content, subscriptions and in-game purchases.

This is due to the fact that the EA profile is linked to the account of the platform from which you play and, therefore, logging out is always a risk. It should also be noted that an Electronic Arts account can be linked to a single account per platform during its activity.

In short, I advise you to carry out this operation only if you have nothing important related to Electronic Arts video games on the platform in use. Put simply, one case where this guide can come in handy is when you made a mistake in creating an empty account for FIFA and want to use another one, starting from scratch with progress and all.

For example, you may have created an EA account on PC in the past, but you just logged into FIFA for consoles for the first time and accidentally created a new empty Electronic Arts account. In this case, you may want to unlink the latter and associate the console profile with the EA profile you use on PC, so that you have your game data on consoles as well.

In any case, although it is potentially possible to “recover” the data by linking the platform account to the original EA profile again (pay close attention to the fact that you will not be able to disconnect the account for 6 months once this is done), you I strongly advise against trying to disconnect any profile if you have important data related to FIFA or other Electronic Arts games.

In short, I warned you: follow this tutorial only if you are convinced to proceed despite the “risks” . Obviously, I take no responsibility for any possible problems with your account, caused by any “mistakes” you may make.

How to switch EA accounts on FIFA

Having explained the general situation to you, I would say that it is time to take action. Below you can find all the details on how to change the EA account on FIFA, related to the various gaming platforms.

How to switch EA accounts on FIFA: PS4

If you want to change EA accounts on FIFA from the console , I am going to explain how to proceed. To give you a concrete example I will use PlayStation 4 , but in reality it is all very similar also for Xbox and Switch. In short, if you are wondering, for example, how to change EA accounts on FIFA for Xbox One , Switch or even PS5 , in this chapter you will find all the information you need.

Obviously, before proceeding you must take into account all the risks involved . If you have not already done so, I therefore invite you to read the preliminary chapter , in which I have illustrated all the data that you could lose by carrying out this operation.

Since you have to proceed from an Internet site, you will probably find it more convenient to proceed from a PC; alternatively you can use the console’s built-in browser : you can find the Internet Browser icon directly on the main console screen (for more information, read my tutorial on how to go on the Internet with PS4 ).

At this point, reach the official Electronic Arts portal , log in with your EA profile and move to the Connections tab , present at the bottom left.

Then, press the X button on the controller above the Disconnect option , which refers to your PSN profile , carefully read the warning that appears on the screen, so as to fully understand the risks (you will also be told until you can disconnect account again), check the box I understand and I want to continue and confirm everything by pressing the Disconnect button .

Perfect, now the EA account you linked by mistake is no longer associated with your “trusted” platform profile. You can then proceed to link your PSN (or other platform) account to the correct EA profile .

You probably already know how to do this, as you’ve almost certainly done the operation in the past. In any case, just start FIFA and enter the details for the right EA account as soon as the game asks you to enter your login credentials . If you have any doubts about it, you can refer to the official guidelines .

How to switch EA accounts on FIFA: PC

If you want to proceed from a PC , you should know that there are various possibilities for managing your FIFA-linked accounts.

In particular, to greatly reduce the risk of losing data that I illustrated in the preliminary chapter , you might consider simply changing the account connected to the Web App accessible from the browser .

In this way, you will be able to choose which account to manage directly from the FUT Web App , in order to carry out all the necessary operations directly from your PC. To do this, access the official portal of the FUT Web App , press the Login button and log in with your Electronic Arts account .

Then, click on the settings icon , present at the bottom left and click on the CHANGE button , present at the top right. Perfect, now you just have to select the platform account you want to activate and that’s it.

If, on the other hand, you are convinced that you want to disconnect the EA account , keeping all the risks in mind, you can proceed exactly in the way I explained in the chapter dedicated to the console . In fact, everything is the same, given that you pass by browser .

You can therefore start from the official EA website , log in to your account and press the Disconnect button , present next to the platform account you want to change. So read carefully the message proposed by Electronic Arts, which explains precisely what will happen by carrying out this operation.

If you are convinced to proceed, for example because you simply accidentally created an empty EA account, simply check the I understand and want to continue box and then click the Disconnect button . Perfect, now all you have to do is link your “trusted” platform account to another EA profile .

How to switch EA accounts on FIFA: mobile devices

How do you say? Do you want to proceed directly from mobile devices ? No problem, I’ll explain immediately what you can do. If you are wondering, for example, how to change EA accounts on FIFA 21 on the go, this is the chapter for you.

In this case, in reality everything is essentially identical to what I illustrated in the chapter dedicated to the PC . In fact, if you simply want to change the profile relating to the Companion application that can be downloaded for free, for example, from the Google Play Store or from alternative stores for Android or from the iPhone and iPad App Store , the procedure is identical to that relating to the Web App for browser.

So just go to the settings and tap the CHANGE button , then choose the platform account to be made active. For the rest, if you want to disconnect the profile completely , obviously always keeping in mind the risks illustrated in the preliminary chapter , you just have to connect to the dedicated portal and perform the classic procedure.

In particular, just tap on the Disconnect button , relating to the platform involved, read the information related to the risks provided by the website, check the box I understand and I want to continue and confirm that you want to carry out the operation by pressing the Disconnect button . Then just link the right EA account to FIFA, the next time you start the game.

In short, changing the Electronic Arts account related to FIFA is actually not that difficult, although obviously the most “critical” issue is the possibility of losing progress , but by being careful and reading everything properly there should n’t be too many problems.

In any case, I want to clarify that clearly the FIFA series comes out on an annual basis and therefore Electronic Arts could make some changes related to the account management system.

In any case, if you want to learn more, you may want to take a look at the official guidelines of the Electronic Arts portal . On the latter website you can also find the CONTACT US button , which will eventually help you get help from EA if you run into any problems. By doing so, you will be able to get information directly from the experts of the well-known software house, who obviously know how to manage these situations.
