EA FC 26 Server Maintenance Schedule
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 such as Ultimate Team are unavailable across all platforms.
“Server maintenance” — the phrase every player dreads — has landed for EA FC 26, lasting almost seven hours today.
Impact on Gameplay
Players attempting to access Ultimate Team or online matches will find services temporarily paused. The maintenance began at 07:00 UTC and is expected to conclude at 14:00 UTC, effectively sidelining all online modes for most of the day.
- Ultimate Team, Division Rivals, and Online Drafts are unavailable.
- Transfer Market access is halted.
- All platforms — including console and PC — are affected equally.
About 30 minutes before the downtime began, players saw “Match Creation Disabled” warnings, signaling the start of the scheduled maintenance window.
Player Reactions and Expectations
Many players reported repeatedly checking the EA server status page for updates, though EA’s maintenance timelines tend to be consistent and seldom shortened. In some cases, they may even extend if additional technical issues arise.
EA confirmed that servers are expected back up at 14:00 UTC, depending on regional variations and potential complications.
For now, fans are encouraged to explore offline modes or take a brief gaming break until online services resume later in the day.
