How to fix EA Sports FC not working
EA Sports FC is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Quit and Relaunch EA Sports FC
Close the app completely instead of leaving it suspended. On PS5, press the PS button, highlight the game tile, press Options, and choose Close Game; on Xbox, press the Xbox button, highlight the game, press Menu, and choose Quit. On PC, exit through the EA app or Steam, then open Task Manager with Ctrl+Shift+Esc and end any remaining process before launching it again.
Check EA's Server Status
Open the official status page at https://help.ea.com/en/server-status/ and look for EA Sports FC. If EA reports an outage or maintenance, the problem is on their end, so waiting is the only fix. If the page shows no issue, move to the next step on your own device.
Test Your EA Sports FC Connection
On PS5, go to Settings > Network > Settings > Test Internet Connection, and on Xbox, go to Settings > General > Network settings > Test network connection. If that test fails, restart your router. PC players should also open Settings > Network & internet and check the adapter has a valid IP address.
Verify or Reinstall EA Sports FC
On PC, open Steam, right-click the game in your Library, choose Properties, go to Installed Files, and click Verify integrity of game files; if you use the EA app, open the menu, go to Help, then App recovery, and choose Clear cache. On console, delete the game and reinstall it from your library, but keep your saved data.
While EA Sports FC is down: what to use instead
- Offline Kick Off If the game opens but online play fails, try a local match against the computer.
- eFootball Try Konami's football game for online matches while EA FC is unavailable.
- Football Manager For a football fix without live matches, manage a club and play through a season.

What happens when EA Sports FC goes down
You play it constantly. EA Sports FC is the series picked up after FIFA, and Ultimate Team and Clubs players depend on it for matches, transfers, rewards and competition.
Ultimate Team usually fails first when servers struggle; you sit on loading or get kicked before kickoff. The market stalls too. Clubs and friendlies drop next with lag or disconnects, while offline Kick Off and Career keep working because the problem often sits with EA servers. You might lose PlayStation and Xbox crossplay while PC stays up, or the whole EA network dips at once.

How we track EA Sports FC
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for EA Sports FC, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for EA Sports FC, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from EA Sports FC's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
