Does E3 include Teams?
It depends on when and how you bought. Newer Microsoft 365 E3 plans are sold without Teams, so you add it separately. Older bundled E3 subscriptions still include it.
What changed
Microsoft separated Teams from many Microsoft 365 and Office 365 enterprise plans, first in Europe and then worldwide. The practical effect: newer E3 is sold without Teams, and you add it back as a separate line item.
Existing customers on older bundled E3 generally keep Teams included until they change plans. So whether your E3 includes Teams depends on when and how you bought, not just the plan name.
How to tell, and what to add
Look at your subscription name in the Microsoft 365 admin center. A plan labelled without Teams needs the add-on; an older bundled plan includes it. To add Teams to a no-Teams E3, buy Teams Enterprise at about $5.25 per user per month.
