eFootball Server Maintenance Today: When Will It End?
Right now, if you're trying to jump into eFootball, you're probably staring at a maintenance screen – and yeah, it's happening today, August 29th, from 2 pm to 5 pm., according to KONAMI's official announcement. I literally just tried logging in myself about an hour ago (it's almost 3 pm now) and got hit with that familiar "undergoing maintenance" message that every eFootball player knows too well. The timing honestly couldn't be worse for those of us who like to squeeze in a quick match during lunch break or mid-afternoon, but at least KONAMI gave us a heads up through their official support Twitter.
What's interesting is they're actually running two separate maintenance windows today – the main eFootball game is down from 2 pm to 5 pm, while the UiColle CHAMPION SQUADS app has a shorter window from 3 pm to 4 pm, which seems oddly specific, but whatever works for their tech team, I guess.
The three-hour window for the main game feels pretty standard for KONAMI maintenance sessions, though I remember last month when they said it would be two hours and it stretched to almost four – hopefully that doesn't happen today.
During this time, all online modes are completely unavailable, so if you were planning to grind some Dream Team events or play against friends, you'll have to wait it out or maybe dust off that Master League save you've been neglecting (offline modes should still work fine). The UiColle maintenance being just one hour makes me think it's probably something minor, maybe just syncing up with whatever changes they're implementing in the main game. I've noticed KONAMI tends to do these maintenance sessions on Fridays, which is both good and bad – good because they have the weekend to fix anything that breaks, bad because Friday afternoon is prime gaming time for a lot of us.
At least they're consistent with their communication lately; their customer service Twitter has been pretty on point with announcements, even if the timing of the actual maintenance isn't always ideal. For those keeping track, maintenance should wrap up at 5 pm sharp, though in my experience with eFootball over the past couple of years, I'd give it an extra 15-20 minutes before trying to log in just to avoid the initial server rush when everyone tries to get back on simultaneously. The scheduled end time is 5 pm for the main game and 4 pm for UiColle, but honestly, set your expectations for maybe 5:30 pm just to be safe – better to be pleasantly surprised than frustrated when the servers are still wonky at 5:01 pm.
Worth noting that these times are likely Japan Standard Time converted to your local timezone, so double-check if you're in a different region, though KONAMI's been better about clarifying time zones in their announcements recently.RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.
