The official Street Fighter 6 social media account has confirmed an emergency server maintenance window to address battle-related issues affecting online gameplay. Here’s a complete breakdown of the maintenance timeline, downtime length, and details on when players can expect the servers to be back online.
Street Fighter 6 Server Maintenance
According to the official update from @StreetFighter, the emergency maintenance began on October 21 at 10 PM PDT, which corresponds to October 22 at 6 AM BST. The post notes that this downtime is meant to resolve “battle-related issues” affecting online features such as ranked matches, casual battles, and cross-platform connectivity.
During the maintenance window, all online modes within Street Fighter 6—including Battle Hub, online matchmaking, and ranked play—remain inaccessible. Players can still access local modes and single-player content, such as World Tour and training modes.
How Long Is Street Fighter 6 Maintenance?
Capcom specified that this round of maintenance is scheduled to last approximately one hour. This shorter duration compared to previous multi-hour maintenance periods (like the 4-hour downtime in August 2025) suggests the patch is narrowly focused on fixing performance or stability disruptions rather than rolling out a major content update.
When Will SF6 Servers Be Back Up?
Based on the official notice, the servers are expected to return online one hour after maintenance begins—that is, around the following local times :
- October 21, 11 PM PDT (US West Coast)
- October 22, 7 AM BST (UK)
- October 22, 11:30 AM IST (India)
If maintenance proceeds as planned, players should be able to resume online battles shortly after these times. However, it’s common for brief delays or staggered rollouts as regional servers synchronize. Players may experience short login queues or connection instability in the few minutes following restoration.
For real-time server updates, Capcom recommends checking the official Street Fighter X (Twitter) account and the Buckler’s Boot Camp page for current server status and ongoing maintenance notices.
