EA FC 26, FC 25, and FC 24 servers are undergoing scheduled maintenance from November 7, 07:00 to 14:00 UTC on all platforms. This maintenance disables online modes such as Ultimate Team.
If you tried to access Ultimate Team this morning, you likely noticed it wouldn't load. Maintenance began at 07:00 UTC and online play is not expected to return until 14:00 UTC. During this period, modes like Division Rivals, the transfer market, and online drafts are temporarily unavailable.
About 30 minutes before the shutdown, users will see “Match Creation Disabled” alerts. This applies to all three games (FC 26, FC 25, FC 24) across every platform, so switching consoles won’t help.
EA’s maintenance window is nearly seven hours, roughly the length of a Champions League final plus extra time. According to EA:
Servers are expected back up around 14:00 UTC, barring any unexpected issues.
While many hope for early access by frequently refreshing the EA server status page, maintenance times are typically strict and can even extend if problems arise.
Players might consider using this downtime to focus on single-player modes or take a break until online services resume.
EA FC 26 servers will be offline for about seven hours on November 7, affecting all online modes; servers should be back by 14:00 UTC unless delays occur.
