EA FC 26 servers are down today due to scheduled maintenance. The maintenance started on November 7, 2025, and the servers are expected to be offline until around 6 AM PT (2 PM UTC / 3 PM BST).
During this time, online features such as Ultimate Team, Clubs, and Seasons will be inaccessible, though offline modes like Kick Off and Career Mode remain playable. This maintenance is routine and often coincides with new Title Updates or seasonal resets in the game.
Players should expect the servers to come back online after the maintenance window is complete, allowing normal online play to resume. For ongoing updates, players can check official EA server status channels and EA FC 26 community pages for news on any unexpected downtime or additional maintenance.
✅ What we know
According to the official Electronic Arts (EA) server‑status page, FC 26’s servers are currently listed as Online.
Several third‑party trackers likewise show the global status for FC 26 as “Online”.
Past reports suggest occasional scheduled maintenance windows for FC 26, often announced only a few hours ahead, with typical durations of 2‑4 hours.
There have been many user‑reports of connection issues despite servers being “online” (likely regional issues, routing problems, or individual device/network problems). For example:
“I’m having the same issue… keeps saying ‘EA servers are unavailable’.”

🛠 What to do if you can’t connect
Since servers appear up, your problem might be local or regional. Try these steps:
Restart your connection
Fully close the game, reboot your console/PC.
Power‑cycle your router/modem: unplug for ~30 seconds, then plug back in.
Switch from WiFi to wired (Ethernet) if possible, to reduce latency.
Check for game & platform updates
Make sure FC 26 is updated to the latest build on your platform.
Check that your console/PC OS is also up‑to‑date.
Check your network settings
On console: verify your NAT type is Open or Moderate (not Strict).
Consider temporarily disabling VPNs or proxy services, which can interfere with EA servers.
If you’re in India/Kerala: routing through ISPs may be less optimal—try switching networks if possible (mobile hotspot/test).
Check official channels for announcements
Follow the official FC 26 account: EA SPORTS FC Direct Communication (on X/Twitter) for any outage/maintenance updates.
Check the EA Server Status site (linked above) for your specific platform.
Use community‑status sites (e.g., Downdetector) to see if others in your region are reporting issues.
If everything is correct and still failing
Try uninstalling & reinstalling FC 26 (especially if you’ve trouble on only one device).
Contact EA Support with your platform details, region, and a screenshot of the error (“EA servers are unavailable…”).
Be prepared that the issue may be on EA’s side (regional routing/data‑center issue) and only time or their fix will resolve it.
🕒 Bottom line
As of now, FC 26 servers are listed as operational globally — so if you’re getting “servers unavailable” or cannot connect, the problem is likely on your end or region‑specific, not a full global outage or scheduled maintenance.
