Is Arena of Champions down?

I did not identify an official status dashboard, uptime board or player-count feed in the sources checked. The official HTML returned HTTP 200 at 04:13 UTC on 30 Oct 2026. That tells you the web host was up. It does not tell you that matchmaking was healthy.

When the operators restart for an update, the client warns at five minutes, one minute, and ten seconds. During the last minute it closes new queues and practice. Connection errors since version 0.10 use three different lines: the server cannot be reached, the server is restarting for an update, or the connection dropped. If you see the restart line, wait it out instead of reinstalling.

Past faults that were fixed in the changelog, so you can recognise the wording: 0.12.1 smoothed a fallback connection that stuttered during a login rush; 0.13.1 restored ratings that had snapped back to 1500 after a server restart; 0.13.2 fixed a 2v2 queue window that failed to open. Those are historical notes, not a live incident list.

If the site does not load at all, the problem may be your network or theirs. If the site loads and the canvas stays on Loading, start with the not-loading steps before you call it an outage. Bug reports go to Discord #bug-reports. This is a dated public check, not a live outage monitor.

Full server versus an outage

The 0.21.1 notes describe a sign-in waiting line when the server is full and a short admission countdown after a restart. Neither message alone establishes an outage. I did not observe a live line or measure queue time; this is the official client’s published behaviour.
