A fuel cell system has a fuel cell stack generating electricity with a reactive gas supplied thereto and a controller supplying to the fuel cell stack the reactive gas whose pressure is higher than a normal operational pressure on condition that a temperature of the fuel cell stack is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold temperature and that a moisture content of the fuel cell stack is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value. Where a supply pressure of the reactive gas is raised, an amount of moisture taken away by the reactive gas becomes less, and thus, water balance within the fuel cell stack shifts toward accumulation of moisture contained in the reactive gas into the film-electrode joined body. However, since the moisture content of the fuel cell stack is equal to or less than the predetermined threshold value, the system can improve the starting performance of the fuel cell stack at low temperature while suppressing flooding.
