Best FiveM servers right now
FiveM is a modification framework for Grand Theft Auto V made by the Cfx.re team, which Rockstar Games acquired in 2023. It lets communities run their own dedicated servers with custom scripts, jobs, maps and economies. Most of the scene is roleplay: police, EMS, gangs and businesses, built on frameworks like ESX, QBCore and Qbox.
Start with the top 10 FiveM servers, ranked by real players and votes, then narrow it down:
- Check the population at your play time. Roleplay needs people around; a city that is full at 9 PM in your time zone is what you want.
- Pick your language. Many FiveM cities are national: Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Poland and Romania are among the biggest on GTScope.
- Whitelist or public. Serious RP servers often require an application; public servers let you join right away.
- Read the rules before you join. Every city has its own.
FiveM servers by mod
On GTScope, FiveM owners tag their servers with a mode. Roleplay is by far the biggest, and server names show the rest of the scene (November 2026):

How to join a FiveM server
Most servers share a cfx.re/join/… link: open it in your browser, or press F8 in FiveM and type:
connect cfx.re/join/abc123You can also connect by address, for example connect 203.0.113.10:30120. The default FiveM port is 30120, over both TCP and UDP.
How to promote your FiveM server for free
A good FiveM city needs players before it needs scripts. This is how to promote a FiveM server for free:
- Add your FiveM server on the Add Server page with the address players connect to.
- Claim it and add your Discord, rules and whitelist application link, and set the Roleplay mode.
- Post events and recruit staff (police, EMS, admins, developers) right from your server page.
- Use the live banner and monthly votes to climb the FiveM ranking.
- Turn on Discord alerts so restarts that go wrong don't cost you players.
Tip: If you use a proxy or a custom endpoint, add the address that players actually connect to. That is the one trackers and the official list should agree on.

How FiveM servers are tracked
Besides the in-game list, every FiveM server exposes small status files over HTTP, such as /info.json and /players.json, and Cfx.re publishes the official list of public servers. GTScope combines both: it reads the official list a minute before every scan and asks each server directly when it can. That is how it shows player counts even for servers that don't answer direct queries.
