FC 26 crashes after connecting to EA Servers (PC Steam)

Hello,

I'm playing EA SPORTS FC 26 on PC through Steam.

The game launches normally and reaches the "Connecting to EA Servers" screen. After successfully connecting, the game immediately closes to desktop without any error message.

What I have already tried:

  • Verified game files through Steam
  • Repaired the game through EA App
  • Cleared EA App cache
  • Reinstalled EA AntiCheat
  • Ran Steam and EA App as Administrator
  • Allowed EADesktop.exe through Controlled Folder Access
  • Restarted my PC

System:

  • Windows 11
  • NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB
  • Steam version of FC 26

Can someone help identify the cause of this crash?

Thank you.

    I am having the same issue for more than a month now and EA haven't found a solution yet. In the beginning there were only a few of us with this issue, but I see with every update there are more people affected. What I am doing the past month to play is this: try connecting to the game trough USB tethering on your mobile phone (make sure your mobile data is on not your WI FI). Start the game while on your mobile phone network connected. When you get to the main menu, don't enter UT, disconnect your phone first. Sometimes it will disconnect you from servers but don't worry, just reconnect again and it will work. Then enter UT and play normally. It's the only thing that works for me

    I found a fix, you need to press X (or A) really quickly thru the startup, then the game loads, sadly if you try to reconnect, it will crash again so you can't play UT, but it works for me since i mostly play career mode.
