The violation of the Bell inequality for Dirac fermions is investigated in the cosmological de Sitter spacetime, in the presence of background electromagnetic fields of constant strengths. The orthonormal Dirac mode functions are obtained and the relevant in-out squeezed state expansion in terms of the Bogoliubov coefficients are found. We focus on two scenarios here : strong electric field and heavy mass limits (with respect to the Hubble constant). Using the squeezed state expansion, we then demonstrate the Bell violations for the vacuum and some maximally entangled initial states. Even though a background magnetic field alone cannot create particles, in the presence of background electric field and or spacetime curvature, it can affect the particle creation rate. Our chief aim thus here is to investigate the role of the background magnetic field strength in the Bell violation. Qualitative differences in this regard for different maximally entangled initial states are shown. Further extension of these results to the so called $alpha$-vacua are also discussed.
