EA Sports College Football 27, also known as CFB 27, is set to launch on July 9, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and for the first time ever, PC. One of the most anticipated features is full crossplay support, enabling players across all three platforms to compete and cooperate in a variety of online modes. Here is everything you need to know about CFB 27 crossplay.
Which Platforms and Modes Support Crossplay?
Crossplay in CFB 27 connects PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC players. On PC, the game is available through the EA app, Steam, and Epic Games Store. The feature is enabled by default for new players on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and it can be toggled in the in-game settings on PS5 and PC.
The following game modes support crossplay: Dynasty, Road to the College Football Playoff, College Football Ultimate Team, and Play a Friend, which includes Play Now and Mascot Mashup. Notably, the 32-player Online Dynasty mode now allows mixed-platform leagues, so you can build a dynasty with friends no matter what system they use.
How to Enable Crossplay and Invite Friends
When you first start CFB 27, crossplay is automatically enabled on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. On Xbox, crossplay settings are managed through the console system settings. On PS5 and PC, you can find the crossplay options in the in-game settings menu under the Cross-Play tab. If you wish to opt out, Xbox users must disable crossplay via the system settings, while PS5 and PC players can do so directly in the game.
To play with friends on other platforms, access the EA Connect menu from within College Football 27. Go to the Player Search tab and enter a player's EA Identification number or their platform identifier—this can be an Xbox gamertag, PSN ID, or a PC-specific identifier for Steam or Epic Games Store. Once you find your friend, you can send an invite. Crossplay invites are available in all supported multiplayer modes.
What You Need to Use Crossplay
Using crossplay requires each player to have a copy of EA Sports College Football 27 with all relevant updates, an active EA account, a stable internet connection, and a platform account for their chosen system. When you opt into crossplay, you are automatically placed into the crossplay matchmaking pool, ensuring you can find games quickly.
For more detailed information, EA has published a dedicated Cross-play FAQ that covers additional topics such as cross-platform leaderboards, the Ultimate Team Auction House, and matchmaking wait times. Players are encouraged to check the official FAQ for the latest updates.
CFB 27 crossplay brings the college football community together like never before. Whether you're leading your team to a national championship in Dynasty, building your ultimate squad in Ultimate Team, or just having fun with friends in Mascot Mashup, crossplay ensures you never have to worry about platform barriers.
