How to Change Club Name on Companion App : EA Sports FC Simple Guide
Hey there! Have you fired up the EA Sports FC Ultimate Team Companion App and thought, “I need to rename my club!” I’ve been there. I wanted a fresh new name for my FUT club (I mean, who likes being stuck as “Lille FC”?), so I dug in. It turns out, one of the EA FC Foundations objectives even asks you to “freshen up by changing your club’s name. But here’s the twist – I couldn’t find any rename option in the Companion App. It seemed weird to me, especially since everything else is manageable on the app. I double-checked mission tasks and even the settings. The app simply doesn’t let you do it… not yet anyway.
Why the Companion App Can’t Rename Your Club (Right Now)
I poked around community forums and guides, and discovered why the companion/web app lacks this feature. In fact, as one guide explains, even though players asked about it, you can’t change the club name via the app. EA confirmed that the “Rename Club” option only exists in the full game itself, not in the web or companion app. Surprising, right? I felt the same way. I mean, the app handles squads, packs, and objectives – why not this? But for now, if you open the Companion App, you won’t find a “Rename Club” button anywhere. You can chat with friends, trade cards, and manage squads, but that club name is locked. (It might be something EA adds in a future update, but as of now it’s a no-go.)
So, long story short: the Companion App is awesome for many FUT tasks, but not club renaming. I actually found out this restriction accidentally when I tried to complete the “Club Maintenance” goal and realized I needed to change my name – and the app refused to help. But don’t worry: there is a way. The only place to rename is in the actual EA FC game on your console or PC.
How I Finally Renamed My Club (Quick Steps)

- Open EA Sports FC Ultimate Team on your console or PC. (I use a PlayStation, but it’s similar on Xbox or PC.)
- Go to the Club menu. From the Ultimate Team main screen, navigate to “Club” (the section with your badge and name).
- Select Settings → Rename Club. In Club settings you’ll see an option called “Rename Club.” Hit that. (On console I pressed R1/RB to slide to Settings.)
- Enter your new name and confirm. Type in whatever cool name you want, then save. That’s it!
Pro Tip: It turns out you can change your club name as many times as you want – so don’t stress about getting it perfect on the first try. Feel free to experiment until you find a name you really love. After I renamed my club in-game, I jumped back into the Companion App and, voilà, the new name was updated there automatically.
Final Tips and Takeaways
So, to wrap it up: the Companion App alone can’t change your FUT club name. You have to do it in the main EA FC game. I know it’s a bit unintuitive (you’d think everything Ultimate Team would be doable on the app), but once you know the trick, it’s easy.
Here’s what worked for me: jump into the game’s Ultimate Team menu, find the Settings tab, and pick Rename Club. In seconds you can type a brand-new name. Then all your FUT platforms (console/PC, companion app, web app) will show the updated club name. This also unlocks that Foundation “Change Club Name” task reward if you were chasing it.
Pro Tip: Since you can rename anytime, use a name that fits your style (and the vibe of your club colors or badge). If you ever change your mind, just repeat the steps – no penalty or countdown. And keep an eye out for app updates; maybe EA will eventually let us do this directly on the Companion App. For now, though, this in-game method is the fastest path.
