FC 26 maintenance (April 15): When will the servers come back

FC 26 has a maintenance on April 15, and the servers will be taken down for a significant time. The exact purpose of this maintenance, which comes right before TOTS, remains unknown. However, what we do know is the schedule, and more importantly, when the servers will be back online.

Let’s find out all the details about today’s server maintenance, and when you’ll be able to play the game normally.

FC 26 server maintenance details (April 15)

Today’s maintenance will begin at 11pm PT(April 14)/1am CT/2am ET/7am UTC as per the instructions from EA Sports. Matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes prior to these timings, and you won’t be able to enjoy any mode that requires online connectivity.

As per the same schedule, the maintenance should last for 5.5 hours. In simple words, server functionality will return to normalcy at 4:30am PT/6:30am CT/7:30am ET/12:30pm UTC. However, unexpected delays can happen if the maintenance gets extended. We will duly update our guide if that happens.

Today’s maintenance will affect FC 26 on all platforms, and it includes every online game mode. If you try to matchmake in modes like Ultimate Team, you’ll get an error. Alternatively, you might fail to enter Ultimate Team in the first place. The same also applies to other modes like Clubs, which also require you to connect to the servers.

If you’re that desperate to play, you can try out the offline modes instead. This year, EA Sports has made big changes to the Career Mode, and this is the perfect time to try it out. The Career Mode lets you take a club you love to new heights, and it doesn’t require an internet connection.

Today’s maintenance could also be a hint at an incoming patch just before TOTS officially begins in Ultimate Team.
