Want to know if FC 24 is down? Then you’re in the right place! Throughout the season we will see EA take the FC 24 servers down for maintenance.

This means online modes such as FC 24 Ultimate Team and FC 24 Clubs will be unavailable for fans. 

You can use this page to check for any outages, whether you are on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, or Switch! Now the FC 24 release date is well behind us, find out the FC 24 server status below.

We are also seeing a high number of reports stating the EA and FIFA servers are down on Downdetector, suggesting there are ongoing issues.

This is due to a scheduled maintenance period that was announced from the official EA Sports FC Direct Communication account on X, formerly Twitter.

Throughout the season, scheduled maintenance periods will occur in FC 24. This means all online modes will be temporarily deactivated, typically commencing half an hour prior to the maintenance start time.

Server maintenance usually occurs during nighttime hours, aiming to minimise disruption to the gaming community. 

Mike’s Tips

Always check to see if a Title Update has been released. These are scheduled periods when you will not be able to log in, but they don’t last long.

In most cases, announcements regarding planned server maintenance can be found on the official EA Sports FC Direct Communication account on X (formerly known as Twitter). The maintenance will temporarily suspend access to online modes and matchmaking.

How to check if servers are down?

If you’re encountering difficulties accessing the online modes of the game, start by checking your internet connection. A stable internet connection is essential for accessing online features, so this should be your initial step. 

Once you’ve confirmed your internet connection is working, consider checking social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter). There are various accounts dedicated to providing updates on outages, patches, or any alterations to online gameplay.

Accounts like EA Sports FC Direct Communication and EA Help can be used to check the server status of the game. 

In the event that you don’t find any relevant information on these pages, you can explore several Down Detector websites that aggregate user-reported problems.

Examining these reports can help you determine whether other players are experiencing similar issues, triggering a quicker return to the game.
