EA FC 26 Server Maintenance
EA FC 26, FC 25, and FC 24 servers are undergoing scheduled maintenance from November 7, 07:00 to 14:00 UTC on all platforms. During this period, online modes such as Ultimate Team are unavailable.
Impact on Gameplay
If you tried accessing Ultimate Team early this morning, you likely noticed it wouldn't load. Maintenance started at 07:00 UTC and is expected to finish by 14:00 UTC, meaning online play is disabled for nearly seven hours.
This downtime affects all platforms and titles — switching consoles won’t help. Key features like Division Rivals, the transfer market, and online drafts are paused.
Pre-Maintenance Notices
About 30 minutes before the servers go offline, you’ll see “Match Creation Disabled” warnings. This signals the impending shutdown of online functionalities.
Server Status and Updates
- EA’s maintenance windows tend to be strict but can occasionally run longer if complications arise.
- Players often refresh the EA server status page frequently during this time in hope of an early return.
“EA FC 26 server maintenance is scheduled to run for about seven hours. Servers are expected back up around 14:00 UTC, barring any nasty surprises.”
Summary
This lengthy maintenance window means European players will lose access to online modes for most of the morning and part of the afternoon, making it a good opportunity to focus on single-player content.
Author’s note: The scheduled downtime impacts online gameplay across multiple EA FC titles and platforms, emphasizing the importance of checking official updates during server maintenance periods.
