EA FC 26 Servers Down: Maintenance Times & Affected Modes

EA FC 26 servers are taken offline for scheduled maintenance on a regular basis, typically for 2–4 hours during off-peak hours in your region. The specific times vary by platform and region, but EA usually announces them on the official EA Help Twitter/X account and the EA FC 26 in-game news feed. When the servers are down, you cannot play any online modes, including Ultimate Team, Clubs (Pro Clubs), Volta, and online friendlies; offline modes like Kick-Off, Career Mode, and Skill Games remain playable.

Formula

The calculator works out your average pace and speed for a run or ride. The formula for pace is:

Pace (min/km) = Total time (minutes) / Distance (km)

For speed:

Speed (km/h) = Distance (km) / (Total time (minutes) / 60)

Variables:

• t = finish time in minutes (e.g., 50 minutes)
• d = distance in kilometers (e.g., 10 km)
• Pace = minutes per kilometer (min/km)
• Speed = kilometers per hour (km/h)

Worked Example

Using the default values: t = 50 minutes, d = 10 km.

1. Pace = 50 / 10 = 5.0 min/km
2. Speed = 10 / (50 / 60) = 10 / 0.8333 = 12.0 km/h

So with a 50-minute finish over 10 km, your average pace is 5:00 per kilometer and your average speed is 12.0 km/h.

When to Use This Calculator

Use this tool for any activity where you know the total time and distance: running, cycling, walking, or even rowing. It’s especially handy for training plans that prescribe a target pace (e.g., “run 5K at 5:30 min/km�)—you can check if you’re on track. It also converts pace to speed, which is useful if you’re comparing with a treadmill display that shows km/h.

How to Read the Result

The pace result tells you how many minutes (and seconds, if you look at the decimal) it takes to cover one kilometer. A lower pace means faster. The speed result is the equivalent in kilometers per hour. For example, a 6:00 min/km pace equals 10 km/h. If you’re used to miles, multiply the pace by 1.609 to get min/mile, and divide the speed by 1.609 to get mph.

Common Mistakes

• Unit mix-ups: Entering time in hours instead of minutes. Always convert to minutes first (1 hour 20 min = 80 min).
• Distance in miles: If your distance is in miles, either convert to km (1 mile = 1.609 km) or use a miles-based calculator.
• Ignoring decimals: A pace of 5.50 min/km is 5 minutes and 30 seconds (0.50 × 60 = 30 sec), not 5 minutes and 50 seconds.

Limitations of the Formula

This calculation assumes constant speed. Real-world runs have hills, stops, and changes in effort, so your instant pace will vary. It also doesn’t account for elevation gain or loss, which can make the same distance take longer. For interval training, you’d need separate calculations for each segment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert pace to speed?

Take 60 and divide by your pace in minutes per kilometer. For example, 5 min/km → 60 / 5 = 12 km/h. If you have speed in km/h, divide 60 by the speed to get pace in min/km.

What is a good running pace for a beginner?

It varies widely by age, fitness, and gender. A common beginner 5K finish time is around 30–40 minutes, which is 6:00–8:00 min/km. Focus on effort rather than a specific number—you should be able to hold a conversation.

Why does my treadmill show a different speed than my watch?

Treadmills are often uncalibrated and may overestimate speed. Also, your watch uses GPS, which can be inaccurate in tunnels or under trees. For consistent results, use the same device and calibrate your treadmill if possible.

Can I use this for cycling?

Yes, the math is the same. Many cyclists use pace as minutes per mile or km, but speed in km/h is more common. Enter your total ride time and distance to get your average speed.

How do I convert min/km to min/mile?

Multiply the min/km value by 1.609. For example, 5:00 min/km × 1.609 = 8:02 min/mile. For speed, divide km/h by 1.609 to get mph.
