EA SPORTS FC 27 cross-play and cross-progression guide

Overview

Cross-play allows compatible PlayStation, Xbox and PC users to play together, but matchmaking is separated by platform generation. Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 are not part of the general FC cross-play pool.

How it works

Cross-play is enabled by default and can be changed through EA Connect or matchmaking settings. Supported online modes include many Ultimate Team, Clubs, Seasons and Friendly experiences, while cross-progression is more limited and depends on platform family and mode.

Practical tips and limits

If friends cannot match together, first compare platform generation and cross-play settings. Disabling cross-play can reduce the available matchmaking pool.
