How to Check Madden 24 Server Status
If there aren't yet any updates above about the latest Madden 24 server problems, there are a few ways you can check right now to see whether others are having the same issues. The first port of call for most players should be DownDetector, as reports tend to spike there before EA notices or addresses an issue.
After that, you can check the official EA server status via EA Help. The list of games at the bottom includes Madden 24, which should be working as intended if server status is listed as online. You can also use the links from EA Help to check your platform just in case there's a larger server problem affecting Xbox, PlayStation, or Steam.
If you're not noticing any reports and the Madden 24 servers appear to be up and running, you should try some in-game troubleshooting. Press RT or R2 while on the main menu and you should attempt to reconnect and sign in to EA servers, as this alone can sometimes shake things loose and get you back in. You also want to check Madden NFL Direct on Twitter to see if they've commented on any recent issues.
If that doesn't work, close the game entirely before relaunching and signing in. You can also try restarting your entire console and verifying your network connection by checking other apps or games to see if they're working properly. If Madden 24 is still down for you and it doesn't appear to be a widespread problem, create a topic on the EA Answers forum in the Madden 24 Technical Issues category to ask for additional assistance.
