EA FC 26 Server Maintenance
EA FC 26, FC 25, and FC 24 servers are down for scheduled maintenance from November 7, 07:00 to 14:00 UTC on all platforms. This downtime disables online modes such as Ultimate Team.
Maintenance Duration and Impact
The maintenance will last about seven hours, during which online gameplay will be unavailable. Players trying to access Ultimate Team this morning will find it won’t load. The maintenance started at 07:00 UTC and online play is expected to resume by 14:00 UTC.
This period equates roughly to the length of a Champions League final including extra time, so it’s a good opportunity to catch up on single-player modes.
Warnings and Affected Features
About 30 minutes before the full shutdown, players will see “Match Creation Disabled” warnings. This maintenance affects not only EA FC 26 but also EA FC 25 and FC 24 across all platforms.
- Division Rivals
- Transfer Market
- Online Drafts
All these online features are paused during maintenance. Switching consoles won’t bypass the downtime.
“EA FC 26 server maintenance is scheduled to run for about seven hours. Servers are expected back up around 14:00 UTC (or the equivalent in your region), barring any nasty surprises.”
Player Experience
Many players refresh the EA server status page repeatedly, hoping for an early reopening, but maintenance windows are generally strictly timed and may sometimes even extend if technical issues arise.
Summary: EA FC 26 and related servers are undergoing a strict seven-hour maintenance, during which all online features will be unavailable, with an expected return by 14:00 UTC.
