The Canadian software house often announces scheduled maintenance with very little notice before operations begin. It can also happen that match creation is suddenly disabled, and here you’ll find all the relevant updates when that occurs.

In some cases, unexpected issues may arise that cause disruptions or even prevent access to Ultimate Team entirely. We receive a flood of reports from the community when this happens, and we’ll share with you all the information at our disposal while waiting for an official statement from the Canadian developers.

Below you can check out the Live Update section, which lists all scheduled and/or emergency maintenance, the current status of server operations, and reports of service interruptions coming from the EA FC 26 community.

We’ll also keep you informed about any bugs and/or glitches that may appear in Squad Building Challenges and Objectives.

If you’re a fan of Ultimate Team, you’ll also find on our site a dedicated guide explaining how to unlock the transfer market area of the Web App and Companion App, both of which will go live in September.
