   ipconfig /release
   ipconfig /renew
   netsh winsock reset
   
3. Restart your PC.

2. Update the network driver

Every network adapter, integrated or external, needs a driver to establish a connection with the internet through your home network. However, these drivers are updated to add new security features and improve performance. You should update your network driver and avoid issues when connecting to FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.

1. Click the Windows icon, type Device Manager, and open this tool from the search results.
   
2. Double-click on the Network Adapters section to expand it.
   
3. Right-click on your internet adapter and select Update driver.

Extra steps

Many players report that even after applying all the fixes and solutions, they still cannot play FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. If you have tried everything up until now, and the problem persists, try to:

• 📞 Contact your ISP: Sometimes, the problem is neither you nor EA servers but the network between you. On the back of your monthly bill for the internet or in the email (if you receive the bill digitally), find the number of the support team, call them, and explain the situation.
• 🏃‍♂️ Remove Fantasy FUT players: Some players report that removing Fantasy FUT players from their squad fixed the issue. You can use this as a temporary fix, and if it does fix the issue, wait for EA to patch this bug so you can play with FUT players in your squad.
• 💻 Ensure FIFA 23 has access to the network: Disable your antivirus software and Windows Defender and check if you can connect to the FIFA 23 match. If so, turn the protection back ON and whitelist FIFA 23 in your antivirus software and Windows Defender.
