The early access to EA Sports FC 26 began on September 19 for those who pre-ordered the Ultimate edition, and since then, many players have been enjoying the new installment. However, as always, some users have encountered the unpleasant surprise of being unable to log in to the game’s servers.

This type of block usually raises the most feared question: have I been suspended or banned? Electronic Arts makes it clear in their terms that banning is the most severe penalty, and it means losing complete access to the title and its online services. Normally, it is applied in cases of cheating, using external software (such as aimbots or manipulation programs), or when systematic abuse of glitches is detected to gain unfair advantages. This includes buying and selling in-game currency or anything similar.

How to know if your EA account in FC 26 is suspended or banned

The most direct way to find out is to log in with your EA account.

• If the account is suspended or banned, a message will appear detailing the penalty.

• In cases of temporary suspension, the duration of the measure will be indicated.

• In the case of a permanent ban, the message will confirm that you will not be able to access EA Sports FC 26 or other services linked to that account again.

• Access to the EA Sports FC 26 online form

EA also offers an appeal system through an online form. If you believe the penalty is unfair, you can submit your complaint and receive a response by email. The usual deadline is 10 days, although the company warns that in some cases it may take longer.

For now, it’s best to carefully review EA’s code of conduct and ensure that your account meets all the conditions to avoid losing access to your team in Ultimate Team or other online modes.
