How do I connect my EA account, step by step?
Connecting EA links your league to Madden so standings, schedules, rosters and results update on their own. It is one flow on the Overview page, and the one step in the middle is supposed to look broken. That's normal, and this article walks through exactly what to do when you see it.
Where to find it
On the website: open your league. It lands on Overview, where you'll find the EA Connection section.
In the app: tap More, then your league, which opens on Overview.
Step by step
- Press Connect EA Account (it reads Reconnect EA Account once a connection already exists).
- Sign in on EA's own page with the EA account that actually owns the Madden league, not just any account: the one the game and league live on.
- EA lands you on a page that will not load. You'll see something like "This site can't be reached." That page IS the step, not an error to back out of.
- Copy the full web address from that page. On a computer, click the address bar and copy it. On an iPhone, tap the address bar once, press and hold, choose Select All, then Copy (a single tap won't select the whole thing). On Android, tap the address bar, tap the address to select it, then Copy.
- Come back to Franchise Hub and paste it into the box on the EA Connection section. On a phone, Paste from clipboard fills it in for you.
- Select your EA account, then select the league this server should follow, and press Connect.
If it fails
Each link works once. If it says "That link was already used" or anything similar, press Connect EA Account again for a fresh link and paste that one instead of an old one.
If your league isn't in the list once you're connected, you're usually signed in with the wrong EA account, or the league lives on a different Madden than the one you picked.
Common problems
- The page never finishes loading. That's expected. It's the step where you copy the address, not a bug.
- I don't have the Madden Companion App. You don't need it for this. It is only ever used for uploading a draft class file, which is a separate step.
- It says the league is connected to another server. A league can only be linked to one Discord server at a time. See EA Connection for how to move it.
