On the morning of November 7, 2025, players trying to access EA SPORTS FC 26 encountered connection errors and were unable to use the online services. The issue is not an unexpected crash but a planned, significant server maintenance.
The official EA SPORTS FC social media account confirmed the downtime, which affects the entire franchise, including FC 26, FC 25, and FC 24.
Service status websites like DownDetector reported a sharp rise in outage reports from users. As players from various regions attempted to log in, the number of reports surged from near zero to over 350, indicating a widespread disruption impacting all players.
The primary cause of the outage is a large-scale, 7-hour scheduled maintenance window affecting EA SPORTS FC 26 and earlier titles.
