EA FC 26 Server Maintenance Overview
EA FC 26, along with EA FC 25 and FC 24 servers, are undergoing scheduled 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.
Details of the Maintenance
If you tried to access Ultimate Team this morning and it didn’t load, it’s because maintenance began at 07:00 UTC and will last until about 14:00 UTC. This downtime is nearly seven hours, approximately the length of a Champions League final including extra time.
About 30 minutes before the full shutdown, players will see “Match Creation Disabled” warnings. The maintenance affects all online features including Division Rivals, the transfer market, and online drafts on every platform. Switching consoles won’t avoid the disruption.
What to Do During Maintenance
- Play single-player modes while online play is disabled.
- Check EA’s server status page periodically, though maintenance schedules tend to be strict and sometimes extend if complications arise.
Official Statement from EA
“Servers are expected back up around 14:00 UTC (or the equivalent in your region), barring any nasty surprises.”
Summary
EA FC 26 server maintenance will last roughly seven hours on November 7, temporarily disabling all online gameplay, with servers expected to return by 14:00 UTC.
