The FIFA 15 Ultimate Tournament web app has finally launched. Earlier today EA was unable to confirm exactly when it would launch but it is now available. In a post on Twitter EA said that the FIFA 15 web app would launch today.
Earlier in the day EA had said that it would provide an update at 6pm, but when the update came it was only confirmation that people would have to keep waiting. In an update on its Twitter account this afternoon EA said it was still working hard on the FIFA 15 Ultimate Team web app and promised that it would launch this evening:
Progress on the #FUT Web App is on track for a release this evening. We'll update you again at 8pm UK. #FIFA15

In preperation for the launch EA has released the FIFA 15 Ultimate Team apps for Android and iOS, although the iOS version is only available to download from the Canadian App Store at present.
EA was expected to launch the hotly-anticipated FIFA 15 web app yesterday, but struggled to get it online in time. Ultimate Team was down for maintenance yesterday, with EA saying it was carrying out "scheduled maintenance".
On Wednesday EA posted an update to its Twitter account confirming that the FIFA web app launch was imminent:
We’re currently working to launch the #FUT 15 Web App. Stay tuned for more info. #FIFA15

Further updates confirmed more maintenance work and downtime for FIFA Ultimate Team, with EA saying it will launch sometime this evening but not before 6pm UK time.
EA has also posted a video showing new features and gameplay footage from FIFA 15 Ultimate Team. FIFA 15 launches on the 23 September in the US, 25 September in the EU and 26 September in the UK and is available for Windows, PS3, PS4, Vita, Nintendo 3DS, Wii, iOS, Android, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
FIFA Ultimate Team lets players build all-star teams to play online against other people. The web app means that people can tinker with their teams from their browser without needing to be sat in front of a games console.
People can buy packs of new players and trade them to build better and better squads. Ultimate Team sits alongside the current releases of FIFA, with players able to use their all-star team in online tournaments and one-off matches.
