If you're being met with the notification of "Error Connecting To FIFA 23 Ultimate Team" when logging on to the game this morning, you might also be asking yourself the question of 'are FIFA 23 EA Servers down?'.

'Error Connecting To FIFA 23 Ultimate Team' Message 

One of the most frustrating things about server outage on FIFA is that you can't even get into the Ultimate Team mode, regardless of whether you want to head online or browse the transfer market. You will, unfortunately, have to wait until the servers are back online to head into a Squad Battles match, not that that's a particularly appealing activity anyway.

This also means that players won't be able to log on at all to receive their weekly Division Rivals and FUT Champions rewards, given that Thursday morning is the weekly release time for these.

Unlike other times, this isn't a period of scheduled maintenance, and is rather an unexpected server outage, meaning that there is no allocated time of fixing the issue so that players can jump back in and start grinding again soon.

So, that's all you should need to know if you're wondering 'are FIFA 23 EA Servers down?', as we hand over to you what is likely to be the bad news you were not wanting to receive.
