EA Sports has announced that scheduled maintenance will take place today, 7 November, on the servers hosting EA Sports FC 26 and Ultimate Team. This maintenance is expected to finish around 14:00 UTC.
During the maintenance period, players may experience disconnections or temporary restrictions on certain online features. Match creation will be disabled 30 minutes before maintenance starts, so players planning to play Division Rivals or Squad Battles should finish their matches early.
Matchmaking and access to the transfer market may also be unavailable during the maintenance. These restrictions apply to all platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
"While these interruptions can be frustrating, they’re an essential part of ensuring stability and improving the overall gameplay experience."
The Canadian developer EA Sports frequently schedules server maintenance with little advance notice, but these updates are vital for maintaining game stability and performance.
Author’s summary: EA FC 26 servers will undergo scheduled maintenance today until 14:00 UTC, temporarily limiting online features and access to matchmaking and the transfer market across all platforms.
