EA FC 26, along with FC 25 and FC 24, are undergoing scheduled server maintenance on all platforms from November 7, 07:00 to 14:00 UTC. During this period, online modes such as Ultimate Team will be unavailable.
If you tried to access Ultimate Team this morning and found it unresponsive, this maintenance is the reason. EA started the downtime at 07:00 UTC, with servers expected to be back online by 14:00 UTC. This roughly seven-hour break is comparable in length to a Champions League final plus extra time, providing a good opportunity to explore single-player modes.
“Servers are expected back up around 14:00 UTC (or the equivalent in your region), barring any nasty surprises.”
Many users monitor the EA server status page frequently, hoping for early completion, yet EA’s maintenance windows are typically strict and may even extend if complications arise.
The EA FC 26 server maintenance will last about seven hours, impacting online play throughout the morning and early afternoon in Europe.
This scheduled seven-hour maintenance will temporarily disable online play across EA FC 26 and earlier versions, urging players to focus on single-player content until servers are restored.
