EA SPORTSAre EA servers down for FIFA 21?
May 12, 2021
FIFA 21 players are currently struggling with server connectivity and cannot access online matches. Unfortunately, this means players cannot make any progress or complete any challenges in FUT mode.
EA have confirmed this is scheduled maintenance for the servers.
We have scheduled maintenance coming up on May 12, from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM UTC.
FUT & VOLTA FOOTBALL match creation will be disabled 30 minutes prior to the maintenance in order to avoid potential mid-match disconnects.
