Clash of Clans players have been in a spot of bother on Oct. 20, and the problem appears to be a worldwide phenomenon.
The problem first began early in the day when players were unable to log in to their accounts. As of writing, the problem is yet to be resolved. Thanks to the nature of the game, it's impossible to have a session if you can't access your account.

Are Clash of Clans servers down (Oct. 20)
As of writing, all global servers for Clash of Clans are down. This has happened due to a problem at Supercell's end. The studio has officially acknowledged the problem, and the cause appears to be related to the service provider they enlist.
If I had to guess, the problem stems from AWS having major issues, which have affected several services. Major players like PlayStation Network and Fortnite have also reported outages, but some of them have managed to restore their connections. As of writing, Supercell has activated maintenance for Clash of Clans. If you find that notice when trying to log in to your game, don't fret, since you're not alone.
When will the Clash of Clans servers come back (Oct. 20)
Today's maintenance isn't routine as it has happened in an unprecedented fashion. The maintenance has taken place since the login services are down, and it has nothing to do with an update of any type. Once the services are restored, you should be able to play as usual.
If you find the "Maintenance" notice when trying to log in, the only option for you is to wait. If the message is no longer present but you still can't log in, restart your Router/Modem and the game. Sometimes, the login services might be out in your region. Either way, it's best to expect issues throughout the day as Supercell works to restore all services.
