Step 1: Create or Retrieve Your EA Account
Before you can log into EA Sports games on your PS5, you need to have an EA account. If you already have one, you can simply log in. If you don’t have an EA account yet, you will need to create one.
Creating an EA Account:
On Your PS5 Console: You can create an EA account directly through your console, but it's often easier to create an account via a web browser first.

- Click on Sign Up or Create Account and fill in the necessary details like your email address, username, and password.
- Once you’ve created the account, verify your email by following the instructions sent to your inbox.
Using the EA App (Mobile): Alternatively, you can download the EA app on your phone (available on both iOS and Android). Create your account there and link it to your PlayStation Network (PSN) account.
Retrieving Your EA Account Information:
If you’ve forgotten your EA account credentials, you can retrieve them:
- Go to EA’s Account Recovery Page and follow the steps to reset your password or recover your username.
Once your EA account is created or you have the necessary credentials, you’re ready to log in.
Step 2: Ensure You’re Logged into PlayStation Network (PSN)
Before logging into EA Sports, make sure you're logged into your PlayStation Network (PSN) account on your PS5. If you’re not already logged in, follow these steps:
- Turn on Your PS5 and navigate to the Settings menu.
- Under Account Management, select Sign in to PlayStation Network.
- Enter your PSN account details (email and password) to log in.
Step 3: Open the EA Sports Game
Once you're logged into PSN, follow these steps to log into your EA Sports game:
Launch Your EA Sports Game: Start the game you want to play (e.g., FIFA, Madden NFL, NBA Live, etc.) from your PS5 home screen.
EA Login Prompt: When you start the game, the game will typically prompt you to sign in to your EA account. This will happen during the game's startup or when you try to access online features like multiplayer or Ultimate Team.
Step 4: Log in to Your EA Account
Sign-In Screen: The game will ask you for your EA account credentials. Enter your email address and password for the EA account you’ve already created.
Link Your PSN Account to EA: If this is your first time logging into an EA game on your PS5, the game might ask you to link your PlayStation Network (PSN) account with your EA account. This allows you to access various EA services such as online multiplayer, leaderboards, and saved game data.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to link your accounts. Usually, this involves selecting Link Accounts and signing in with your PSN credentials.
Two-Factor Authentication (Optional): If you’ve enabled two-factor authentication for your EA account, you may be prompted to verify your login using a code sent to your email or mobile device.

Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure that your PS5 is connected to the internet. You can test your connection by going to Settings > Network > Test Internet Connection.
Verify Your EA Account: Double-check that you’re entering the correct email address and password for your EA account. If you’ve forgotten your login credentials, visit the EA account recovery page.
Link Your Accounts Again: If you're having trouble linking your PSN account with your EA account, go to the Account Settings in your EA Sports game and look for an option to disconnect and reconnect your EA account to PSN.
Check for Server Issues: Sometimes, login issues arise due to server problems on EA’s end. Visit the EA Help Twitter page or EA's status page to check if there are any ongoing server outages.
Clear the Cache on PS5: If the game is not prompting you to log in, try clearing your PS5 cache by restarting the console or performing a soft reset. Hold down the power button until the system beeps twice and the PS5 restarts.
Contact EA Support: If you’re still facing problems, consider reaching out to EA Support for assistance. You can contact them directly through their website or through their official social media channels.
