  We investigate the behavior of the entanglement entropy of a confining gauge
theory near cosmological singularities using gauge/gravity duality. As
expected, the coefficients of the UV divergent terms are given by simple
geometric properties of the entangling surface in the time-dependent
background. The finite (universal) part of the entanglement entropy either
grows without bound or remains bounded depending on the nature of the
singularity and entangling region. We also discuss a confinement/deconfinement
phase transition as signaled by the entanglement entropy.
