Summary

EA FC titles are undergoing scheduled maintenance, starting from 1:36 AM ET.
Before EA addressed the issue through their social media, players had started complaining on social media a long time ago.

In an unfortunate turn of events, EA FC titles have undergone a sudden maintenance phase. This was completely unannounced and caught everyone by surprise, as they were prevented from accessing Ultimate Team services. While some are failing to enter the UT servers, others can't even enter the title.

All EA FC titles: FC 24, FC 25, and the latest FC 26 were impacted by this sudden issue. While EA FC authority certainly addressed it late, the connection issue caught the limelight a few hours ago. A third-party website named Downdetector has seen a recent surge of complaints. On that note, let's take a look at FC 26 Server Status Today 18 March 2026.
