How to fix Free Fire not working
Free Fire 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:
Your browser tries to reach ff.garena.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Check the Free Fire report level
The bar at the top shows whether problem reports for the service are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. That tells you where to look. If reports sit at the usual level, look at your device and network before you change anything; if they are high, wait and try later.
Force stop Free Fire and reopen it
On Android, open Settings > Apps > Free Fire > Force stop, then launch the app again from your home screen. On iPhone, swipe up from the bottom edge and swipe the app card up to close it. Reopen it and try a match.
Switch Free Fire to another network
Turn Wi-Fi off and try mobile data, or turn mobile data off and join a Wi-Fi network you trust. If the game still stalls, open Control Center or Quick Settings, turn Airplane Mode on for 10 seconds, turn it off, and retry. Load a match.
Clear the cache or reinstall Free Fire
Start with the cache if you use Android: open Settings > Apps > Free Fire > Storage & cache > Clear cache; do not tap Clear storage unless you accept losing local data. If the app still fails at launch on either platform, uninstall it and install it again from the same app store. Sign in with your usual account, then play one short match before you change more settings.
While Free Fire is down: what to use instead
- PUBG Mobile Use this if you want another mobile battle royale and your phone has room for a large game.
- Call of Duty: Mobile Use this for fast team deathmatch or battle royale rounds.
- Fortnite Play it on a supported console or PC if your squad wants a cross-platform battle royale and mobile is not required.
- Minecraft Swap to a downloaded offline world if the outage runs long and you only need something to pass the time.
Problems at the same time as Free Fire
Since 28 October, Free Fire's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when Free Fire goes down
Free Fire is a mobile battle royale shooter, and the status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for it are above their usual level over the last 24 hours, counted in 15 minute windows. Players on Android and iOS rely on it for short squad matches, so an outage interrupts login, matchmaking, and the match itself.
The first signs are usually a failed login and a lobby that will not load. Matchmaking can hang, squad invites may not arrive, the store can stall, and a match that starts can drop into lag or a disconnect before the result screen. Problems often hit one region or one platform harder, so your friends may stay online while your match search fails. A partial outage can leave chat working while matches fail to start, which makes the game look fine until you queue.

How we track Free Fire
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Free Fire, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Free Fire, 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. Free Fire doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
