Are the EA servers down right now?


As previously mentioned, Downdetector has seen a big spike in reports of connection issues with EA games this morning (October 22). At around 11.30am British time, more than a thousand users had logged problems with EA servers.
The main issue is with server connection, while some are also having problems logging in. Over on X (formerly Twitter), players are also reporting that the EA servers are “down”.
The EA Sports FC Direct Communication account posted this morning: “We're investigating player reports of a matchmaking issue in Ultimate Team and Clubs. We'll provide an update as soon as one is available.”
One player replied: “Servers are down so players start playing squad battles. Only for EA to completely shut the servers and kick us off mid SB 🙃 absolutely shafted.”
Another added: “Just happened to me too.”
The initial reports of problems started around 7.45am, but the issues have become more widespread from 11am onwards. There are Downdetector users reporting Game Play issues, although not as many reporting the connection troubles.
