EA FC 26 Server Maintenance Update
EA FC 26, FC 25, and FC 24 servers are undergoing scheduled maintenance from November 7, 07:00 to 14:00 UTC across all platforms. This downtime disables online features, including popular modes like Ultimate Team.
Maintenance Duration and Impact
The server maintenance will last approximately seven hours, meaning online play will be unavailable during this entire period. Players attempting to access Ultimate Team this morning will encounter loading issues until servers are restored.
Around 30 minutes before the full shutdown, warnings stating “Match Creation Disabled” will appear. This affects not only EA FC 26 but also FC 25 and FC 24 on every platform, so switching consoles won’t bypass the outage.
Affected Online Features
- Division Rivals
- Transfer Market
- Online Drafts
All these modes will be on pause until the maintenance is complete.
Official Timings and Expectations
“Servers are expected back up around 14:00 UTC (or the equivalent in your region), barring any nasty surprises.”
Although players may frequently check the EA server status page for updates, maintenance windows typically adhere to the scheduled timeframe and may occasionally extend if unexpected issues arise.
Recommendations for Players
Given the seven-hour outage, this is a good time to enjoy single-player modes or take a break. The maintenance roughly matches the length of a Champions League final plus extra time, so plan accordingly.
Author's Summary
EA FC 26 and related servers will be offline for scheduled maintenance for about seven hours, disabling online play but allowing single-player modes to continue uninterrupted.
