Current Status: Are EA Servers Down?

According to multiple monitoring services, EA's online services are currently operational, with no widespread major outage reported at this moment. For example, a status-check site shows no active outage at present.
However, user reports indicate that on October 20, 2025, there were spikes in connection issues (login/launch errors) across several regions such as the UK, US, Canada and others.

EA's official status pages also note that while they aim to keep systems running, unexpected issues can arise and the pages may not update instantly.

What Known Outages Have Happened Recently

On Oct 20, 2025 there was an outage lasting approximately four hours, during which many users reported login or game-launch failures.

Older cases: In January 2025 many users of EA games such as FIFA and Battlefield reported server collapse issues.

It's also worth noting EA services sometimes go offline for maintenance or emergencies; their "Service Updates" page covers such events.

What To Do If You're Having Trouble

If you're unable to connect to EA services, here are practical steps:

First, check EA's official server status page: help.ea.com > Server Status

Confirm your internet connection is stable and other services / games work.

Restart your game and/or EA app.

Clear any cache for the EA app or game launcher you are using.

If the game offers offline mode, try connecting that way (some features may still work).

If the problem persists and no official outage is reported, consider submitting a support ticket via EA Help.
