A new server maintenance announcement is making waves among gamers, especially for those who are keen on titles like EA FC 25. Scheduled for July 16, the online connectivity will be temporarily halted, prompting players to take note.
This maintenance occurs right amid the ongoing FUTTIES celebrations as we approach the second week. While it’s a routine procedure, EA Sports hasn’t disclosed the specific reasons for it, and no title updates are anticipated, so that’s one less worry for players. All online matchmaking will be paused, but thankfully, we have a clear schedule for when the servers will be offline.
EA FC 25 Server Maintenance Schedule (July 16)
The maintenance is set to begin on July 16 at 1am PST/3am CT/4am EST/8am UTC. Note that matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes prior. Expect servers to be down for about three hours, barring any extensions.
We have a maintenance on July 16, 08:00 to 11:00 UTC. During this time, you may be disconnected or unable to access online services. Match creation will be disabled 30 min before the maintenance. Titles affected: EA SPORTS FC 25, EA SPORTS FC 24, and FIFA 23 on all platforms.

If everything goes according to plan, anticipate the servers to return by 4am PST/6am CT/7am UTC/11am UTC. However, keep in mind that there could be extensions beyond the scheduled time. So, if that occurs, we’ll be sure to update you. Recent routine maintenance has rarely extended beyond the planned schedule, which is encouraging.
Which Modes Can You Play During Maintenance?
Unfortunately, every game mode that requires online matchmaking will face disruptions. This includes all aspects of Ultimate Team. If you log in during maintenance, likely, any game attempt will result in an error message. Hang tight until it’s over; this also applies to Squad Battles.
However, there’s good news if you’re eager to play. You can explore Career Mode as managing a club doesn’t require an online connection. This means you can still enjoy gameplay during maintenance. The same holds for EA FC 24 and FIFA 23, as their servers are part of the downtime on July 16 as well.
Are there any specific reasons for the maintenance? EA Sports has not provided detailed insights this time, but players are always hopeful for enhancements in connectivity and overall game quality.
What should I do if I encounter issues post maintenance? If you face problems after servers are up, your best bet is to restart your console or check EA’s official support channels for updates.
Are there any anticipated updates or features that might be introduced after the maintenance? Currently, there are no official announcements about new updates, but players are always watching the horizon for potential changes that could enhance their gameplay experience.
How long do these maintenance sessions usually last? Generally, they last a few hours, but actual timing can vary depending on the nature of any underlying issues that may arise.
In conclusion, mark your calendars for July 16 and plan ahead to make the most of your gaming time! For the latest in gaming news, tips, and more, feel free to explore related content and resources at Moyens I/O.
