EA FC 26 Server Maintenance Schedule
EA FC 26, along with FC 25 and FC 24, is undergoing scheduled server maintenance from November 7, 07:00 to 14:00 UTC across all platforms. During this period, online modes such as Ultimate Team will be unavailable.
Impact on Gameplay
If you tried to access Ultimate Team this morning, you likely noticed it was not loading. The maintenance began at 07:00 UTC and online play is expected to resume at 14:00 UTC. This downtime lasts about seven hours, similar in length to a Champions League final plus extra time, making it a good opportunity to focus on single-player modes instead.
Warnings and Restrictions
- About 30 minutes before the main shutdown, "Match Creation Disabled" warnings appear.
- The maintenance affects all platforms and includes EA FC 25 and FC 24 servers as well.
- Online features such as Division Rivals, the transfer market, and online drafts are temporarily paused.
Server Status and Expectations
Players often refresh the EA server status page in hopes of an earlier return, but EA's maintenance schedules are typically strict and may even extend if additional issues arise.
Servers are expected to be back online around 14:00 UTC (or the equivalent in your region), barring any unexpected problems.
Author's summary: The EA FC 26 server maintenance will last approximately seven hours on November 7, temporarily suspending online play across multiple FIFA titles, with servers expected to return by 14:00 UTC.
