How to Turn Off the FIFA Trainer Indicator in EA Sports FC Matches

Quick answer for FC 27

During a match, pause the game, open Trainer in the pause menu, and change FC Trainer Toggle to Hide. This hides the Trainer’s on-field prompts as a group. If you only want to remove one kind of prompt, leave the Trainer visible and switch off the relevant individual cue instead, if that control appears in your version.

Illustrative example: Jordan starts a Kick Off match and sees a directional arrow and button prompts near the controlled player. Jordan wants a clean screen but still wants player indicators and passing visuals. The right first move is to hide the FC Trainer in the match pause menu, then check whether those other visuals remain. If one remains, it may be a separate indicator rather than part of the Trainer.

Which on-screen cue are you trying to remove?

“FIFA Trainer” is the older name many players still use for the FC Trainer. In current EA SPORTS FC menus, Trainer guidance can include movement direction, button hints, or suggestions for an action. Several other overlays can look similar, so identify what you see before switching off a broader setting.

Turn off all Trainer prompts during a match

1. Load into the match where the indicator appears. The pause menu’s Trainer controls are designed to be accessible during gameplay.
2. Pause the match using the platform’s pause control.
3. Select Trainer from the in-match pause menu. It is a separate menu item, not necessarily nested under the general Settings tile.
4. Find FC Trainer Toggle and change it from Show to Hide.
5. Return to play and check the screen. The Trainer prompts should no longer appear.

In FC 27, menu wording and navigation can vary slightly by platform and mode. If you do not see Trainer, make sure you have paused an active match rather than opening the main menu from outside a match. Then check for a game update and try a standard Kick Off match to see whether the option appears there.

Keep some help while removing a distracting indicator

Hiding everything is the fastest option, but it also removes prompts that might still be useful. For example, a player learning timed finishing might want to keep a timing cue while removing movement arrows. In the Trainer menu, look for individual controls such as movement indicators or button hints and turn off only the item that is cluttering the screen. Names can differ by release, so use the description shown beside each option rather than assuming every version uses identical labels.

For Jordan’s example, if the movement arrow is the only distraction, Jordan can keep the Trainer on and hide that movement cue. If the button prompts and recommendations are also unwanted, the all-at-once Hide setting is simpler. The trade-off is straightforward: a full hide gives the cleanest view; selective settings preserve chosen learning aids.

Trainer prompts are not the same as gameplay assists

The Trainer is an on-screen guide. Hiding it removes visual prompts; it does not automatically change passing, shooting, switching, or defending assistance. Those gameplay assists are separate controls, and some online modes require particular gameplay settings. If you want to change how much the game helps direct a pass or shot, look in Game Settings for the relevant gameplay assist. Do not change a competitive preset just to remove an arrow or button prompt.

EA’s FC 27 accessibility guide lists separate visual options, including Player Indicator settings, PlayStyles overhead indicators, Next Player Switch Indicator, and Precision Pass and Shot Visuals. If Jordan hides the Trainer and still sees a marker or line, that guide helps identify the right category. Change only the specific option that matches the remaining graphic.

If the indicator comes back

• Check the same match again: pause and confirm the FC Trainer Toggle still reads Hide.
• Test a second mode: try a regular Kick Off match. Some tutorial, training, or practice activities may deliberately show contextual guidance.
• Identify the remaining graphic: a player marker, input display, tutorial objective, and Trainer prompt are controlled separately.
• Restart and update: close the game fully, install available updates, and reopen it if the menu selection does not take effect.
• Check again in the next match: if the setting returns to Show, set it from the match pause menu again and note the mode and platform where it resets.

There is no need to reset your entire profile just to hide the FC Trainer. If a specific Trainer setting repeatedly changes back after you set it, record your platform, mode, and the exact cue that returns, then report it through EA Help or the FC feedback channels.

How Jordan can confirm the right setting

Jordan returns to the same match and checks the display after selecting Hide. If the arrow and button hints are gone but the player-selection ring remains, the Trainer setting worked; the ring is a separate player indicator. Jordan can then decide whether to keep that marker or change it in Visual settings. This one-cue-at-a-time check avoids hiding useful gameplay information by mistake.

EA SPORTS FC 27 launched in September 2026, so older FIFA tutorials may show a different menu structure or label. For current mode and accessibility details, see EA’s FC 27 Accessibility Resources and official FC 27 page. Visual options can vary by platform or be updated in patches; use the description in your in-game menu if it differs from this guide.
