Cant connect to EA servers cfb 2026

The game started and it asked me to sign into my ea account but I accidentally pressed back, now everytime I load game up it doesn’t connect to es server. I have ea account for years I just pressed back because I didn’t know it was gonna pop up so fast

    After switching to a wire, make sure you power cycle your equipment with these steps:

    1. Unplug your modem/router for 2 minutes
    2. Hard restart your console by holding down the power button until it turns off
    3. Power it all up and try playing again
  • Just tried wired connection……..Guess what? It still lost connection. Which is exactly what I knew would happen since it only happens on EA servers while playing CFB26 and no other game.

    Did you also hard restart your console? Which console are you using?

    My connection is wired. I’ve power cycled my modem over 10 times and I still am getting problem signing in, this is the same thing that happened to me late in the year for ncaa25 and now it’s continuing over to the next game, I haven’t bought it yet. If this isn’t fixed I will be playing trial for 9 hours and then won’t purchase.

    Are you using a wired or wireless connection? If you're on wireless, try switching to a wire. Make sure you power cycle your modem/router and hard restart your console.

    The issue is most likely due to your connection then. First, it would be best to switch to a wired connection. Wireless will have a far higher rate of disconnects and lag. You also should try the connection troubleshooting steps here.

  • i have the same issue when i tried it i an error that said ea servers are not available right now see ea.com/unable-to-connect for more information. well that page said to check my wifi which i did and i took it to my friends house and got on his wifi and i was able to sign in just fine 

  • I can connect, but I lose connection minutes  later during games. I reconnect and lose connection again. I cannot stay connected long enough to finish a game. This is only happening on cfb26

    Hi there. Try completely closing out College Football 26 and load back into it. Let me know if that helps or not. Thanks!
