see the fix from this thread.
1. Log in to your Origin account https://www.origin.com/
2. Down Load the Origin App from the top header that says 'Down Load Origin'
3. Accept terms and conditions when launching the App.
4. Fill in your log-in details (same as Origin Account
5 In the App. Click Friends -> Add a friend in the menu bar
6.You will see the option to connect to XBOX Live or Playstation Network. We Choose XBOX
7. It will prompt you to log into your Microsoft account (the email address and password you use to log into your xbox)
(Doesn't matter if is says you failed to find a friend it will still work )
Go back to XBOX1 try to launch the game and go to Multi Player. It should work fine.
I followed the suggestion from SaracenThatLeads. My son's Xbox Live accounts was not linked to his EA Origin account even though they have the same email address. Once I used Origin to find all his Xbox Live friends, these linked up, and he was able to play Star Wars Battlefront. He is one happy camper now.
