EA FC 26 Server Maintenance Duration and Return Time
EA FC 26, along with FC 25 and FC 24, is undergoing scheduled server maintenance on November 7 from 07:00 to 14:00 UTC. During this period, all online features, including Ultimate Team, are unavailable across all platforms.
“Server maintenance” notifications have appeared for EA FC 26, causing around seven hours of downtime today.
If you tried to access Ultimate Team this morning and it refused to load, you’re not alone. EA started maintenance at 07:00 UTC and plans to restore online play around 14:00 UTC. That’s roughly the length of a Champions League final with extra time — a good chance to relax or try single-player modes.
Affected Modes and Platforms
- EA FC 26, FC 25, and FC 24 servers are all impacted.
- Division Rivals, transfer market, and online drafts are temporarily unavailable.
- Expect “Match Creation Disabled” notices about 30 minutes before full server downtime.
Expected Downtime Duration
EA confirmed the maintenance will last approximately seven hours. Servers should be back online around 14:00 UTC, depending on your local time zone. However, maintenance may take longer if unexpected issues arise, as EA’s schedule tends to be strict but occasionally extended.
“Servers are expected back up around 14:00 UTC (or the equivalent in your region), barring any nasty surprises.”

EA FC titles are offline for planned maintenance from 07:00 to 14:00 UTC, temporarily disabling online play modes and features across all platforms.
