Currently, the servers are down in FIFA 20, online play is not possible. Online features like Ultimate Team will be available again starting at noon.
How long are the servers down? As EA Sports announced on Twitter on Wednesday morning, there were short-term maintenance works scheduled for the servers. EA did not provide the exact reason for the maintenance.
The maintenance works are scheduled between 08:00 and 12:00 German time. Match creation in Ultimate Team was already deactivated half an hour before. During maintenance, there may be problems reaching EA servers in FIFA 19 and FIFA 20.
Web App also unavailable
Web App and Companion App affected: The Web App and Companion App for FIFA 20 are currently also unavailable. Therefore, you cannot open packs or engage in the transfer market at this time. The SBCs of the current Summer Heat Events, which are very rewarding in total, have to wait a bit.
If you currently access the Web App, you may receive a message indicating that you need to link your EA account with a FUT-20 club. However, this is likely related to the ongoing maintenance and should resolve itself afterward.
Everything should be running normally again by 12:00 noon, unless unexpected complications arise. Recently, a new update raised the spirits of FIFA fans: Title Update 19 finally brought the long-awaited card filter for the transfer market.
Many fans have wished for the card filter for years; it should now be included in FIFA 21 from the start. If you want to make use of the server downtime, you can check here which talents in FIFA 21 need to become significantly stronger than in FIFA 20.
