Disconnected from every Rivals and FUT Champions match – no loss given (PS5)
Hi, I’m having an issue in EA SPORTS FC 26 Ultimate Team. Every time I try to play an online match in FUT Champions or Division Rivals, I get disconnected during or just after the loading screen. I don’t receive any error code and I don’t get a loss; it just returns me to the UT menu. I’ve tried restarting my PS5 and internet connection, deleted and re-downloaded squad updates, checked my settings, but nothing helped. Interestingly, this only happens on one account; another account on the same console can play online normally. Offline modes work fine. Has anyone seen this or know a fix? Thanks.
UPDATE: I managed to fix the issue.
After testing my players one by one, I found that one of my Evolution players was causing the disconnects in Rivals and FUT Champions.
I removed all Evolutions from that player using the “Remove All Evos” option and then applied the Evolutions again. After rebuilding the player, everything started working normally again and I can now play Rivals without disconnecting.
So in my case, it looks like the problem was caused by glitched/corrupted Evolution data on one specific player.
If anyone has the same issue, I recommend removing all Evo players from your squad first and testing a match. Then add them back one by one to find which player is causing it. If you find the affected player, removing and reapplying their Evolutions may fix it.
Hope this helps EA investigate the issue and helps anyone else experiencing the same disconnects.
