7 Days to Die Server Ports
All required and optional ports for running a 7DTD dedicated server — game, query, Telnet, and web dashboard.
7 Days to Die uses several ports based on the main ServerPort value plus separate ports for admin tools.
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. You don't need to configure firewall rules.
