Why you need a VPN for FIFA
It’s no fun to see your players running across the pitch, dodging around every opponent, and kicking to score the goal and then… they’re halfway back to where they started? A gaming VPN helps to smooth out your connection, which can prevent the lag spikes that cause these issues. In the right circumstances, it can even reduce your ping.
On top of that, a VPN changes your IP address, and encrypts all traffic between you and the VPN server of your choice. This helps to avoid DDoS attacks and add a layer of anonymity to your connection, and also protect your data if you play on public Wi-Fi.
A VPN also helps you avoid ISP game traffic throttling, and it can also bypass network blocks on the game at work or school.
How can a VPN reduce ping in FIFA?
By sidestepping networking issues with the skill of a pro footballer. Those issues can be things like overcrowded servers between you and the game, bad signal routing, other networking problems, and plain old bad luck.
To get around them, ExpressVPN automatically uses the fastest route between you and the VPN server of your choice. Choose a VPN server that's close to the EA FC game server you want, and you're good to go.

FAQ: Using a VPN for FIFA
You could, but free VPNs aren’t really designed for online gaming, and usually have very few server locations, resulting in overcrowded servers and slow speeds. ExpressVPN, on the other hand, offers ultra-fast connection speeds and server locations in 105 countries all over the world. You can try it for 30 days risk-free with our money-back guarantee.
ExpressVPN makes a fantastic gaming VPN by offering servers that are tuned for gaming performance in 105 countries. That way, you can always get a fast connection. It also masks your IP address, has powerful encryption, and a suite of security features that help you to stay safe as you play.
Not really. It used to be that games would release at a specific time in each time zone, meaning some people got to play them “early.” Some still do, and you can use a VPN to access the part of the world where the game is available first. But with the EA Sports FC franchise, that is no longer the case. It gets released at the same time for everyone, on a per-platform basis.
