Connecting to Ultimate Team is Not Possible – PS5

I am experiencing an ongoing issue accessing Ultimate Team in EA SPORTS FC 26 on PlayStation 5.

Whenever I try to enter Ultimate Team, I receive the following error message:

“Connecting to Ultimate Team is not possible at the moment.”

After that, I am returned to the main menu.

I have tried all possible troubleshooting steps, including restarting the console and internet connection, changing network and DNS settings, using a mobile hotspot, and reinstalling the game. Unfortunately, the issue still persists.

I am able to access Ultimate Team normally through the EA Web App, which confirms that my account is active and not banned. The problem occurs only on my PS5, which suggests that this may be a stuck Ultimate Team session or a server-side issue that cannot be resolved from my end.

This situation is very frustrating, especially as this is one of the best and most enjoyable periods in Ultimate Team, and I am unable to play.

  • Have you found any solutions? Because this is getting really annoying.

  • For anyone facing Ultimate Team access issues in EA FC:

    I kept getting “Connecting to Ultimate Team is not possible” and tried every fix with no luck.

    After purchasing a small FC Points pack, my account unlocked and I could access UT immediately.

    Looks like a temporary account lock on EA’s side.

    what fixed this for me was:
    1- access companion app and delete all existing squads (replace with an empty active squad)
    2- power cycle the console (hard reset and disconnect from power for 30 seconds)

    After this I was able to connect again.

    I only seemed to be able to access the companion app when not on the same wifi as my console.  Otherwise it would say please log out of your console.  Then these steps worked. Thanks!
