EA Sports FC 26: How to Turn Off the Trainer

The Trainer in EA Sports FC 26 is an in-game tutorial feature that displays on-screen prompts, movement lines, and control hints during matches. While it’s designed to help new players learn the basics, many find it distracting once they’ve grown comfortable with the gameplay.

If you’re ready for a cleaner screen and a more immersive experience, here’s how to disable the Trainer in just a few steps.

🧭 Step-by-Step: Turning Off the Trainer

You can disable the Trainer at any point during a match — whether you’re in Kick-Off, Career Mode, or Ultimate Team.

🕹️ Step 1: Start a Match

Launch any playable mode and begin a match.

⏸️ Step 2: Pause the Game

Once the game has started, pause it to open the Pause Menu.

⚙️ Step 3: Open the Trainer Settings

Scroll down and select Trainer from the menu options.

👁️ Step 4: Hide the Trainer

At the top of the Trainer menu, find the FC Trainer Toggle setting.

Change it from “Show” to “Hide.”

✅ Step 5: Resume the Match

Exit the menu and return to gameplay. The Trainer’s visual indicators and prompts should now disappear.

🔄 If the Trainer Reappears

Some players have reported that the Trainer occasionally turns itself back on after switching modes or restarting the game. If that happens, you can manually disable every component to make sure it stays off.

Here’s how:

1. Follow Steps 1–3 above to return to the Trainer menu. 2. Scroll through the list of individual Trainer options, such as:
- Pass Receiver Indicator
- Shot Target
- Defending Trainer

3. Set each of these options to Off. 4. Finally, make sure the main FC Trainer Toggle is set to Hide.

By turning off each sub-feature, you prevent the Trainer from reappearing even if the main toggle resets itself.

⚙️ Customize the Trainer Instead

If you still find some Trainer elements useful, you don’t have to disable it entirely.

You can customize which prompts appear on-screen by keeping the Trainer set to “Show” and toggling individual options on or off.

For example:
- Keep Pass Receiver Indicator on to see who you’re passing to.
- Turn Button Hints off to reduce on-screen clutter.

This lets you keep helpful features active while maintaining a clean, minimal interface.

🎮 Why You Should Disable the Trainer

Turning off the Trainer doesn’t just declutter your screen—it helps you stay focused on positioning, timing, and strategy rather than visual cues.

Once you’re familiar with EA Sports FC 26’s controls, disabling the Trainer makes gameplay more immersive and natural, giving you full control over every move on the pitch.
