Many College Football 25 players were unable to sign in on their Xbox for a long period of time earlier on July 18, which caused a major meltdown on the internet.

The servers of the latest college football game have already had their fair share of troubles. While EA Sports has conducted two lengthy maintenances, some of the issues related to logging into the game have remained. The same happened earlier when many Xbox users weren’t even able to start the game due to the breakdown of regular server services.

What caused the College Football 25 unable to sign in on Xbox error

The primary reason behind today’s breakdown was the Xbox Live service. An official tweet from Xbox Support’s X account mentioned the issues that players encountered on the first day of the Standard Edition launch. Many reactions on the same thread made it clear that several players all over the world have suffered from this issue, and they couldn’t join the party on the opening day (excluding early access).

How to fix the College Football 25 unable to sign-in on Xbox error

If Xbox Live service is down like it happened today, there isn’t anything you can do. It’s a significant issue on one or more of Xbox’s core services, and a fix has to be done from them. However, make sure to check the official status of the servers if you have doubts about their functioning. As of writing, all Xbox services are up and running normally.

If you can still start the game but can’t get into Ultimate Team, here’s a workaround that worked for me.

  • Start the game (even if you can’t access EA’s servers).
  • Play any of the offline modes. My preference is the exhibition matches. Play a minute of any game, and leave.
  • Try to get into Ultimate Team mode, and it should let you jump in.

I still expect the servers to have issues for the time being, as a lot of new players are expected to join College Football 25, putting pressure on the online services.
