The EA Sports FC 24 online modes like Ultimate Team may be partly unavailable today, so if you can't connect to the Ultimate Team servers, you're not the only one. Here's when the downtime is expected to start and end.
We've all experienced it at least once – you're looking forward to playing some FUT matches, but as soon as you reach the loading screen, you get an error message telling you that you are unable to get online.
This happens far more often than we'd like, and it's due to the EA FC 24 servers either being offline, undergoing scheduled maintenance, or experiencing some random problems.
EA FC 24 FUT Servers Temporarily Unavailable on April 17: Scheduled Maintenance
On April 17, the EA FC 24 Ultimate Team mode will undergo maintenance starting at 6:00 AM UTC and is expected to be back to normal availability at 10:00 AM UTC.
We have a maintenance coming up on April 17, 06:00 to 10:00 UTC. During this time, you may be disconnected or unable to access online services. Match creation will be disabled 30 min before the maintenance. Titles impacted: EA SPORTS FC 24, FIFA 23/22 on all platforms.

EA FC 24: How To Check Server Status
In case the online services aren't available in EA FC 24 or any other FIFA game, EA usually informs the community on their specially dedicated Twitter account. This account will also inform you early if there is a scheduled server downtime to come. Watch out for update posts for server issues on there.
Another way is to check dedicated server websites like downdetector. Here, you can check whether other FIFA players experience some problems with the EA Servers as well. You can even report problems if you have any, so other players know when the servers are down.
Obviously, we don't work for EA – otherwise there wouldn't be these issues – so if the servers are down, we can't tell you anything else than: sit back and wait. Sooner or later, you will be able to play EA FC 24 again – hopefully without any issues. Until then, use the time by reading guides around the game or just play some offline matches.
We'll be running maintenance on Ultimate Team for EA SPORTS FC 24 and FIFA 23 on March 20th at 06:00 AM UTC for about 6-7 hours. While we're working you won't be able to play online, but we'll get you back in the game as soon as we can.
