Confirm the exact edition and generation
A current release can split PS4 and Xbox One from PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, or exclude one platform entirely. Do not carry a rule from last year's game forward.
Sports games have been slow to adopt crossplay, but the big annual franchises have started opening cross-platform matchmaking and clubs between console generations and, in some cases, PC. Since these games rebuild their online modes every year, crossplay support can change between editions. This list reflects the current status of each title we track.
Editorial guide
Sports games often share a yearly name, but their online rules can change by edition, platform generation and mode. A crossplay label is only the starting point: check which platforms are in the pool, whether the activity is included, and what happens to your team, avatar or marketplace before your group commits.

Exhibition, ranked play, clubs, franchise and an ultimate-team mode can have different eligibility. “Crossplay supported” does not mean every online activity shares a pool.
An account, avatar, auction house and leaderboard can each follow different rules. Being able to invite a friend does not make purchases, rankings or saves portable.
Each case was checked against current developer or publisher support. They are not a ranking; they show the details a simple yes-or-no label leaves out.
The current-generation pool joins PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. PS4 and Xbox One use their own pool, while Switch and Switch 2 do not support crossplay. Ultimate Team progression stays within the same console family.
PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S support crossplay in selected online modes, including Head-to-Head, Franchise and Ultimate Team. EA calls crossplay Cloud Franchise a live beta, and the Ultimate Team Auction House is not shared.
Crossplay is limited to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in World of Chel and Hockey Ultimate Team. HUT has a shared Auction House, but its leaderboards stay separate by platform.
PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S can use crossplay across competitive online modes, including F1 World, ranked and custom lobbies. Turning the setting off restricts matchmaking to the same platform.
