Why Is the FC 26 Companion App Not Working?
Many players are currently facing issues with the FC 26 Companion App, encountering login errors and server-related problems that prevent them from accessing the app.
Common Errors and Symptoms
- The frequent error messages include “We’re currently having trouble with login services” and “servers are down.”
- The app sometimes prompts users to log in via their console while at other times it reports no internet connection despite a stable WiFi.
- This problem is widespread across iPhone, Android, and web versions of the app.
- Players can still play FC 26 on consoles, but the companion app often fails to open or log in.
User Reports and Impact
Players have reported these issues on platforms like Reddit and EA forums:
- Some experience repeated errors daily since the app's launch.
- Others noticed problems after updating to the latest FC 26 version.
- Many find that typical troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issues.
Reasons Behind the App Issues
The disruptions are not always caused by the user’s device or connection:
- EA servers may be down for maintenance or overloaded due to high traffic, affecting everyone's access.
- When server issues occur, no user-side fix can resolve the problem until EA restores stability.
Troubleshooting Tips
If servers appear operational, these steps might help:
- Log out of Ultimate Team on your console or PC, close the game fully, then retry the app after a brief wait.
- Clear the app cache or reinstall the app, which has helped some users.
- For the web version, clearing the browser cache may fix loading problems.
- Regularly check EA’s server status for updates and outage information.
“The most common error is ‘We’re currently having trouble with login services’ or ‘servers are down’.”
Checking EA’s official server status is the best first step before attempting fixes.
