Players trying to log into EA SPORTS FC 26 on the morning of November 7, 2025, have encountered connection errors and cannot access online services.
If you are unable to connect, this is not an unexpected crash but a major planned server maintenance.
The official EA SPORTS FC social media account confirmed the downtime affecting the entire franchise, including FC 26, FC 25, and FC 24.
Service status websites like DownDetector have shown a sharp increase in outage reports from users. As players from various regions started their day and tried to connect, reports rose from near zero to over 350, confirming a widespread outage impacting the whole player base.
The primary cause is a large-scale 7-hour maintenance window for EA SPORTS FC 26 and older titles.
EA SPORTS FC servers are currently undergoing scheduled maintenance, leading to widespread connectivity issues across multiple game versions.
This planned maintenance highlights EA's effort to improve server stability, though it temporarily disrupts player access across the franchise.
