Street Fighter 6 Server Maintenance
Capcom has announced that Street Fighter 6 servers will go down for maintenance on December 15 at 8 PM PST, which is December 16 at 4 AM GMT for players in Europe and other compatible time zones. During this window, players can expect online matchmaking, ranked and casual matches, Battle Hub features, and other network-dependent modes to be unavailable or unstable until maintenance is complete.
The downtime is meant to deploy the new December 16 update, which includes a fresh battle adjustment and balance change list that EventHubs has highlighted for competitive players watching for meta shifts.
For players in India, 8 PM PST on December 15 converts to 9:30 AM IST on December 16, so the maintenance will impact late morning to around early afternoon local time if it runs the full expected duration. Capcom typically schedules these maintenance windows ahead of major content drops, such as new characters or large seasonal patches, and recommends that players finish any online sets or Battle Hub activities before the servers go offline to avoid mid-match disconnects.
Offline modes, such as World Tour and local versus, generally remain playable during maintenance, though any online-dependent features inside those modes may be restricted until servers are back.
When will Street Fighter 6 Server be Back?
The official notice states that this Street Fighter 6 server maintenance is expected to last around four hours, meaning servers should come back online on December 15 at around midnight PST if there are no delays. In other regions, that translates to approximately 8 AM GMT on December 16 in Europe and around 1:30 PM IST on December 16 in India, giving players a rough idea of when they can resume online matches and access the new balance patch content.
As with past maintenance windows, there is always the possibility that work could take slightly longer than scheduled, so players should allow some buffer time beyond the projected end of maintenance before expecting fully stable online services.
Historically, Street Fighter 6 maintenance windows for big patches have ended close to the advertised time, with servers often coming back online first while related web services or leaderboards may update shortly afterward.
To get the most accurate, real-time information on when the Street Fighter 6 servers are back, players should keep an eye on the official Street Fighter account on X (formerly Twitter) and the in-game notices screen, where Capcom posts status updates if the maintenance finishes early or needs to be extended.
