The scheduled downtime affects a wide range of EA SPORTS FC titles, including FC 24, FC 25, and the latest FC 26. During the maintenance window, players are unable to create matches or connect to online features.

The spike in reports aligns with the announced maintenance timeframe. This confirms that the interruption is planned and temporary rather than a system failure.
