Four Friends šŸ«‚, Two Teams ⚽, One Missing Feature 🄺, Don’t Skip 2v2 Again!

One of the biggest letdowns in EA FC 25 was the absence of online 2v2 friendlies using real teams — something that’s been a dream feature for many of us.

Right now, you can only play 2v2 locally with friends using clubs or national teams. But if you’re online and want to play 2v2 with three other friends (that are seperated), you're out of luck.

We’re asking for a simple but powerful feature:

Let four separate players (two on each team) play online using real-world teams in a friendly match.

Why is this important?

Siblings, cousins, old friends — people who live apart — want to team up like old times.

It was heavily requested in FC 25 forums and left a lot of players disappointed when it didn’t return.


We know the mechanics exist — it works locally. Let’s make it online.

> šŸŽ® Let’s bring that community fun back. The demand is real.

    Online Friendlies needs major improvements. It feels like a stripped-down mode missing the basics.

    Match time is random, and we can’t select day/night, weather, or kickoff time. This kills immersion for things like evening EPL derbies or Champions League nights.

    EPL, UEFA, and other official broadcast visuals don’t show up, even when using licensed teams and stadiums. Matches feel flat and generic.

    We also can’t choose our own stadium, which removes realism.

    Retro jerseys unlocked in Ultimate Team can’t be used in Online Friendlies or single-player modes. Why are they locked outside of FUT?

    There’s no way to create online tournaments with friends — something that would be great for weekend leagues or friendly competitions.

    We also can’t play 2v2 online with four players on their own devices. Why isn’t this supported?

    I know simple Kick-Off has these settings, but all my friends live far away. Online Friendlies is the only way we can play together, and right now it’s missing core features.

    Please consider improving this mode — it has so much potential for casual but authentic football fun.

    Dear EA Sports FC Team,

     

    I’m writing to request the addition of a much-wanted feature in FC 26 — the ability for four friends (two per team) to play online friendlies using real-world teams.

     

    This would greatly enhance the multiplayer experience and is something many fans have been hoping for. I truly hope the team considers adding it in a future update.

     

    Thank you for your time and for continuously improving the game.

     

    Best regards,

  • I remember the random lobbies for 2v2 online, I don't remember which FIFA it was, but it was a long time ago.
