İ want to play squad battle

Hi, 

everytike I enter squad battles I get downloading pop up and my game crashes I can’t progress on the game please help

On FC 26 Ultimate Team, my game crashes every time I attempt to select the 'play squad battles' option. I have been able to play every other game mode, including moments, rivals and the mini tournament and the rest of it has functioned fine. However, if I attempt to play squad battles my game glitches for 2 seconds with 'downloading' and then closes as if I alt-f4'd. 

I've tried repairing the game, restarting my PC and copy/pasting my squad.

I've tried to find if anyone else has a similar issue but cannot find anything or any fixes currently
