When will the FIFA 23 server maintenance begin on July 26?

As per the available information, the server maintenance of FIFA 23 scheduled on July 26 will begin at 4 am UK time. This is the standard schedule that EA Sports typically follows for updates. However, today's maintenance seems to be a rather long one.

According to the schedule, today's update will be an eight-hour affair, expected to end at 12 pm UK time. It is important to note that the developers could extend the maintenance beyond the stipulated period, so you should follow Sportskeeda and the game's official Twitter account for all the latest news.

The upcoming maintenance will affect FIFA 23 and the last five releases in the franchise. The exact changes of the update will be available once the maintenance is complete. A mandatory update on all available platforms will likely follow it.
