Where Are EA Sports FC 27 Save Files Located?
FC 27 keeps career saves, profiles and squads in one settings folder under local AppData, next to fcsetup.ini.
Last updated
EA Sports FC 27 follows the same layout as last year's game: one folder under local AppData, %LOCALAPPDATA%\EA SPORTS FC 27, with a settings subfolder holding career saves, profiles and squad files. Graphics and audio options live in fcsetup.ini beside it.
One detail matters more than the rest. Career saves are the extensionless files with Career in the name, and they are the only files EA cannot re-download from its servers. Everything else rebuilds itself after a delete; a career does not. That makes a folder backup before patches and reinstalls worth the two minutes it takes.

Check Windows File History or Previous Versions for the folder first, then your EA or Steam cloud copy if either was enabled. If no copy exists, a corrupted career cannot be restored from EA's side.
How do I safely clear cached FC 27 files?
