Frequently Asked Questions

What does EA FC error code EA-FC-2 mean?
EA-FC-2 means your game has lost its connection to EA's Ultimate Team servers. This can happen due to an EA server outage, your internet connection dropping or being unstable, network configuration problems like closed ports or strict NAT type, or an issue with your EA account.
Is EA-FC-2 caused by EA's servers being down?
It can be. EA server outages are one of the most common causes of EA-FC-2. Always check the EA Help server status page (help.ea.com) and @EAHelp on social media first before spending time troubleshooting your own network. If servers are down, you simply need to wait for EA to fix the issue.
Will I lose my Ultimate Team progress when I get error EA-FC-2?
No. Your Ultimate Team club, coins, players, and progress are all stored on EA's servers, not locally on your device. A connection error like EA-FC-2 does not delete or damage your data. Once the connection is restored, your club will be exactly as you left it.
How do I fix EA-FC-2 on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X?
On PS5 or Xbox Series X, start by restarting the game and checking EA server status. Then restart your router, switch to a wired Ethernet connection if possible, and change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4. Also clear your console cache by doing a full power cycle (hold power button 10 seconds, unplug for 60 seconds). Check that UPnP is enabled on your router and that your EA Play subscription is active.
Why does EA-FC-2 keep happening every time I try to play Ultimate Team?
If EA-FC-2 is persistent rather than occasional, the most likely causes are a strict or moderate NAT type restricting EA's required ports, your ISP intermittently dropping connections, or an account-level issue such as an EA Play subscription lapse or account restriction. Try enabling UPnP on your router, setting up port forwarding for EA FC's required ports, and logging into your EA account at ea.com to check for any account alerts.
