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: 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.

EA FC 24: Connection Issues On January 16, 2024

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.

Can't Connect To The EA Sports FC 24 Servers? How To Fix Potential Local Network Issues

There isn't any information about known server issues regarding EA FC 24, but you still can't log into FUT? Then there might be a problem with your internet connection. This is what you can try out:

  • If you're in touch with some friends that also play EA FC 24, ask them whether they have the same problem. If they don't, you can be pretty sure that it's a local network problem and not a server based one.
