FC 26 Extremely Laggy, Long Loading Times & Cannot Access Ultimate Team

Hey — sorry to hear about the trouble with your game on your console. Here are a few things worth trying:

1) Do a full logout / re-sync

• Fully close FC 26 on PS5 (don’t leave it suspended in Rest Mode).
• If you use the Web App/Companion App, log out of that as well.
• Stay logged out for about 30 minutes.
• Then launch FC 26 on the PS5 first and try going into Ultimate Team again.

2) Clear the PS5 cache and rebuild the database

• Power the PS5 off completely (not Rest Mode).
• Hold the power button for around 7 seconds until you hear the second beep to boot into Safe Mode.
• Plug the controller in with a USB cable.
• Choose Clear Cache and Rebuild Database, then run Rebuild Database.

3) Restore your licenses

• Go to Settings - Users and Accounts - Other - Restore Licenses
• Once that finishes, relaunch FC 26 and try FUT again.

4) Delete temporary/corrupted in-game files (only if you can reach the menus)

• From the FC main menu go to Settings - Profile - Delete
• Remove the temporary/corrupt files (don’t delete Career saves if you want to keep them).
• Restart the game and test Ultimate Team again.

Let us know how that goes.
