EA's servers are down, stopping people playing Fifa 19 and other popular games.

The company's online services have broken, meaning that multiplayer games and its popular Origin service are inaccessible to players.

Any games that rely on EA's servers – which includes Madden and Battlefield as well as Fifa – are being caught up in the problems.

EA recognised the issue on Twitter and said it was being fixed.

"We're aware of connectivity issues affecting players at the moment and are working to resolve them," it posted. "Thank you."

The issues are hitting console players on both Xbox One and PS4, according to those affected.

The problems are being seen across the world but particularly in Europe, according to the website Down Detector.
