eFootball Server Maintenance Today: When Will It End?
The official word is in: online mode for #eFootball™ will be unavailable today, Thursday, September 4th, from 11:00 to 17:00 (scheduled)—so if anyone was hoping to hop on for a lunchtime match, it’s time for plan B until that magical 5 PM window. There’s always a certain bittersweet ritual whenever maintenance day rolls around. Part practical, part nostalgia: some of us try to play one last match before the clock hits eleven, clutching those last-minute hope-for-victory moments.
Then, inevitably, comes the brief social media scroll, the group chat banter, the jokes about forming a “maintenance support group.” Six hours sounds like forever when one’s just scored their first hat trick in weeks, but—let’s be honest—we’ve all lived through downtime before, and usually the anticipation is almost as fun as the grind itself.
But what’s special about today? Apparently, it’s more than your typical tune-up. Once servers are live again this evening, not only should the usual game features be back online, but there’s also a fresh batch of 11 featured players from each league hitting the pitch, part of the “Worldwide 4 Sep '25” campaign.
For anyone obsessed with picking up new talents (and let's face it, that’s most of us), today feels a little like eFootball Christmas. Personally, there’s always been a strange tradition of staring at the app at 16:57, refresh-refresh-refresh, hoping the servers open early. They never do. KONAMI is as punctual as a Swiss train—if they say 17:00, they mean it.
The silver lining: the dev team almost always delivers something that makes those hours worth it, whether it’s smoother gameplay or that impossible free kick suddenly looking a lot more possible. So, to sum it up: eFootball online mode is officially down today from 11:00 to 17:00, so pencil in something else for the afternoon.
Maybe finally do that errand or, if you’re like me, go down a YouTube rabbit hole of legendary goals while waiting. Either way, once maintenance wraps, it’s open season on featured players—may RNG be with all, and here’s to smooth matches ahead.
