# 7 Days to Die Server Ports Reference (/docs/7-days-to-die/ports) 7 Days to Die uses several ports based on the main `ServerPort` value plus separate ports for admin tools. Required Ports [#required-ports] | Port | Protocol | Purpose | | --------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------- | | **26900** | UDP + TCP | Main game port (Steam master server + game details) | | **26901** | UDP | Steam communication | | **26902** | UDP | LiteNetLib / crossplay networking | | **26903** | UDP | Additional networking (recommended for crossplay) | All four game ports (26900–26903) are derived from your `ServerPort` setting: base, +1, +2, +3. > 📝 **Note:** On XGamingServer, ports are assigned and opened automatically.
