So i just started having this issue today (4/11/2024). I loaded into the game, quite excited to get the 2003 SVT Cobra Mustang, yet when i loaded into the game, i was greeted by the offline playlist. Im able to play online in Horizon Life, i can see and interact with other players, but the medsage center, festival playlist, creative hub, auction house and forzathon shop are inaccessible, saying “The Forza Horizon 5 server is not available at this time”
Same I’ve been waiting so it becomes available but all of a sudden the servers goes down

How is this still an issue, happening to me now after yesterdays update
I’ve been trying for 24 hours and I haven’t been able to start the trial or playground games. I start the event, get past the countdown to the start, accept matchmaking and get the countdown “waiting for other players”, which counts down, then nothing, no event start or notification why it won’t start.
Repeated PC restarts, entering events from different locations etc. haven’t helped.
Platform: Windows PC
Edition: Premium, Add-Ons
Account: solo account
PC GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 3060 Ti
I worked it out eventually. For the last few days the game has been loading into Hot Wheels Park on start up by default. Once I went back to Mexico and set one of my houses to be the default home I was able to join sessions for the trial and playground. (I was in the Mexico map when trying to join previously).

I have the exact same issue since three series and I am unable to fix this issue.

also had this issue. fixed it by doing the following:
- make sure you have your home set to somewhere in mexico (not in hot wheels park or badlands)
- close the game and uninstall the hot wheels dlc (not the whole game, just this one pack)
- restart the game and verify that you can join online events now
- reinstall the hot wheels dlc
hope this fixes it for you

I tried the suggested steps, but unfortunately, the issue persists. It seems that something changed since the latest patch, as I now get kicked out and return to freeroam after encountering the stuck loading screen.
Edit:
And stuck again…
