FC 27 The Grounds connection and rejoin guide

Overview

The Grounds uses online worlds that can hold up to 100 players and dynamically places users based on region and ping site. Grouping with friends far away can increase latency for some players.

How it works

Some Clubs 11v11 matches support Hot Join after a disconnect. Returning from Rush or Drop-In can place party members in different Grounds worlds, requiring a new EA Connect invite.

Practical tips and limits

Compare connection quality alone and with your party if latency changes sharply. There is no manual in-game setting to lock a Grounds region or maximum ping.
