Constant EA FC Online Disconnects – NOT an ISP Issue

Question

I’m facing constant mid-match disconnections in EA SPORTS FC online modes (Seasons/UT/CO-OP/Friendlies), very often at half-time and sometimes randomly. Error says I’m disconnected from EA servers, but my internet remains fully active.

Platform: PS5
This has happened across multiple titles (EA FC 24 and EA FC 26).

Before posting here, I have exhaustively ruled out local/network issues. I have tested wired Ethernet and Wi-Fi with the same result, multiple DNS providers including ISP default, Google, Cloudflare, Quad9 and OpenDNS, NAT Type always shows Type 2, UPnP enabled, DMZ configured, and a stable connection with no issues in other online games such as COD and GTA. I have also optimized router settings specifically for EA FC requirements.

This issue is exclusive to EA FC and persists despite everything above, so it cannot reasonably be blamed on my ISP or home network. The disconnects frequently happen during match state changes, especially at half-time, which suggests a session-handling problem.

Is anyone else experiencing the same pattern? If so, please reply so we can establish whether this is a wider EA FC server issue.

Yeah, same for me on ps5 . This has been happening since thunderstruck for me and it's very annoying as it only happens in fc 26.

Exact same for me. I put my Raspberry Pi in the middle to filter connection througn it to diagnose what causes this and in every single disconnect, the FIN request(for session termination) was being sent from the server side. It is not an ISP issue. Something broke 4 weeks ago or maybe a bug that sends session termination request and the game complies and closes the connection.

There can't be many companies out there that blame their customers for their own failures more than EA.

Also, why would there need to be an active connection for playing vs the CPU? How does that make sense? Literally can't even play against bots.
