FC Online Maintenances


EA routinely performs server maintenance for Football Club 26, including both scheduled sessions and unscheduled interventions to resolve unexpected issues.

When you encounter an ‘FC Online Maintenance’ message during login, this indicates Electronic Arts is actively working to improve your gaming experience. The notification will clearly display: ul>
  • Affected game titles and modes
  • Planned maintenance window (start and end times)
  • Any specific service limitations

  • Standard maintenance primarily focuses on server software updates to support new game content and features. This involves:
    • Deploying updated server code
    • Executing system restart scripts
    • Activating new in-game content
    Hardware maintenance occurs less frequently and typically requires more extensive downtime.

    Most maintenance sessions conclude within 2-4 hours, with extended maintenance rarely exceeding 6 hours. Once completed, all services will be fully restored, allowing players to immediately resume gameplay.
