In order to install a new patch for FIFA 21, the EA online servers will be down for maintenance for quite a while. FIFA 21 is not the only game that’s going down either.
EA Sports has announced that FIFA 21 and older games will be undergoing a pretty long maintenance period later today on July 27th, 2021. The maintenance in question will last for 8.5 hours in the early morning and early afternoon.
You won’t be able to connect to the EA online servers while this maintenance is being done. The games affected by this maintenance include FIFA 21, FIFA 20, FIFA 19, FIFA 18, FIFA 17, FIFA 16 and FIFA 15.
You can read the full announcement posted down below via the FIFA Direct Communication Twitter page.
