Xbox Response
Some players are currently having trouble playing EA Sports FC 25. Our team is looking into the issue, and we’ll share updates here and on our official status page as soon as we have them.
Common Issues Experience by Players
When EA Sports FC 25’s servers run into trouble, the game can go down, and players often report a few common problems:
- EA servers are unavailable right now – This usually means the servers are down for an unexpected reason. All you can do is wait until they’re back online.
- “There was an error communicating with the Football Ultimate Team servers.” – This can happen if the servers are down or if you have a connection issue on your side.
- “There is a problem with your game setup.” – This one isn’t a server issue. Many players have fixed it by installing the Windows Media Feature Pack.
- Unable to connect to EA servers – Could be server downtime or your own connection. You can try fixes like changing your router DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1, turning off IGMP snooping, opening ports and linking them to your Xbox IP, enabling DMZ on your router, turning off all ALG options under NAT, disabling the IPv4 SPI Firewall, and enabling UPnP.
- Login issues – This includes problems signing into the game or the Companion Web App.
- Matchmaking issues – Trouble finding or connecting to matches with other players.
- Crashes and freezing – The game may suddenly crash, lag, or get stuck.
Important Tips for Players
Sometimes the main servers for EA Sports FC 25 go down, either because of scheduled maintenance or sudden outages. If that happens, here are some simple tips to help you get back to playing without too much trouble:
- Check the server status first – If you can’t connect, see if the game’s servers are actually online. This will help you figure out if it’s a server problem or something on your end. (We’ll cover different ways to check this in the section below.)
- Check your internet connection – Sometimes, the issue is just your connection.
- Restart your router or modem.
- Switch from Wi-Fi to a wired connection for more stability.
- If possible, try a different Wi-Fi network.
- Reduce the number of devices using the same network.
- Restart your router or modem.
- Play during off-peak hours – Right after a big update or during busy times, the servers can get overloaded, leading to lag or disconnections. Playing early in the morning or late at night usually means fewer players online and smoother gameplay.
- Contact support if needed – If nothing works, reach out to the EA support team. You can also check the official forums or social media to see if other players are dealing with the same problem.

The Main Reasons Why You’re Unable to Access EA FC 25 Web App
If you can’t log into the EA FC 25 Web App, you might get a message saying: “It looks like your EA account doesn’t have a Football Ultimate Team 25 Club.” This basically means you haven’t met the requirements to use the Web or Companion apps yet. It can also mean your account has been marked as inactive because you haven’t played in a while.
