FC 26 maintenance (Jan. 14): When will the servers be back
EA Sports has announced a new maintenance for FC 26 that will take place today across all platforms, and it will heavily impact online connectivity.
This is the first major maintenance in the new year, and it comes ahead of the TOTY celebrations. Thankfully, EA Sports has announced the complete schedule that will allow you to keep track of when the servers will be down.
FC 26 server maintenance details (Jan. 14)
The servers will go down before the maintenance actually begins. Today's maintenance starts 11pm ET/1am CT/2am ET/7am UTC across all platforms. Older titles like FC 25 will also be down when the maintenance is live. Matchmaking will go down 30 minutes before the actual maintenance begins.
The maintenance is scheduled to last for five hours. Unless there are delays, the maintenance should be over by 4am ET/6am CT/7am ET/12am UTC. That said, there can always be delays during maintenance. If that happens, I will duly add the updated timings to this guide.

Once the matchmaking is disabled, all forms of online games will be out of order. Modes like Ultimate Team will also become inaccessible. You should still be able to enjoy content on the Web app and Companion app. However, logging in via your PC/console should be disabled. Even if you manage to get in, trying to start a fresh match will result in an error.
It will be interesting to find out if EA Sports will be making any live tuning upgrades during the maintenance. The last major patch, Title Update 1.4.0, came out earlier in January, and it made some heavy changes to AI-defending and movement.
Of course, this maintenance might be in preparation for the upcoming TOTY promo . We already have confirmed dates about when the promo begins and which players are going to feature on the starting lineups .
