A tweet from EA’s official communications handle has announced the impending maintenance. It comes right before the end of the current Ultimate Team season. While the developers haven’t announced a reason, it could be in preparation for the new season and upcoming content.

When does the EA FC 24 maintenance (August 21) begin?

Today’s maintenance is set to begin at 8 a.m. UTC/1 a.m. PST/4 a.m. EST. It’s the same schedule as the one followed during the last maintenance in June. All forms of online matchmaking, including Ultimate Team, will be disabled 30 minutes before the scheduled start.

Today’s maintenance will also affect EA FC 24 servers across all platforms.

When does the EA FC 24 maintenance (August 21) end?

As per the announced schedule, today’s maintenance will be an affair of six hours. Unless there’s any delay, it will end at 2 p.m. UTC/7 a.m. PST/10 a.m. EST. There’s always a chance for the maintenance to be extended without prior notice from the developers.

Which game modes will be affected?

Ultimate Team, for starters, will be completely unavailable. Any attempts at matchmaking will result in an error. The same applies to other online modes like FC Clubs. You could play games in offline modes like Career. In Career, you can lead your selected club to glory as a player or a manager.

That said, fans hope there won’t be any delay and that matchmaking will return as per the official schedule.
