Why is FIFA 19 down?

The EA Help Twitter account has said that connectivity issues are stopping players from getting into the game at the moment.

According to reports online it seems to be affecting players worldwide with reports from the UK and US as well as across Europe and Asia.

It comes just hours after FIFA 19 was given an update that addresses various gameplay features in the game, which could potentially have some involvement in the server problems.

When will FIFA 19 servers be back up?

An exact time for when servers will be working again hasnt been given and it is hard to estimate when the game will be working again.

The problems were first reported at around 13.30 BST according to Down Detector which means it is likely to at least last another hour or two while developers try to address the problem.

We will post any updates here when they are available.
