FIFA 20 error connecting to Ultimate Team | Unable to access
As you’ll have guessed, this FIFA 20 error connecting to Ultimate Team message stops you from accessing this game mode.

We know it’s a big issue for EA due to this thread on the EA Answers forums. Plenty of FIFA fans have complained about it, and it seems to be affecting people on all platforms. That means that PC, PS4, and Xbox One users are certainly coming across it. The chances are that Nintendo Switch players are too, but that fanbase is a lot smaller than the other three.
How to Fix FIFA 20 Error Connecting to Ultimate Team Bug
There isn’t an official fix for this yet. EA is aware of the problem and should be sorting a proper solution for it as soon as possible.
Players have found a workaround that resolves the issue though. According to replies in the above thread, it’s one that works so, hopefully, it will for you too. Head to the “Online Seasons” game type, and play a full match in this mode. Once it’s complete, quickly back out and load up Ultimate Team. You should now have access to Ultimate Team mode.
