The EA FC 25 servers are currently down for scheduled maintenance, meaning players must engage solely in offline modes for the time being.
EA Sports announced the maintenance a few hours ago, and it is being executed as planned. All online matchmaking options have been disabled during this period. Fortunately, the developers have provided a specific time frame for when the servers will be back online.
When Will EA FC 25 Maintenance Conclude on April 9?
The maintenance for EA FC 25 commenced at 11 PM PST / 1 AM CST / 2 AM EST / 6 AM UTC on April 9. Online matchmaking was disabled 30 minutes prior to the scheduled maintenance start. According to the announced timeline, the maintenance is expected to wrap up by 2 AM PST / 4 AM CST / 5 AM EST / 9 AM UTC.
We have a maintenance coming up on April 9, 06:00 to 9:00 UTC. During this time, you may be disconnected or unable to access online services. Match creation will be disabled 30 min before the maintenance. Affected titles include EA SPORTS FC 25, EA SPORTS FC 24, and FIFA 23 across all platforms.

If all goes according to plan, the maintenance period will last approximately three hours. Although there have been instances of extended maintenance in the past, it’s unlikely that will happen this time, so the servers should be operational soon.
Which EA FC 25 Features Are Impacted by the Maintenance?
During this maintenance, all modes utilizing online matchmaking will be inaccessible. This includes the Ultimate Team mode, which critically depends on online connectivity for matchmaking. Players may find it challenging to access their Ultimate Team accounts, as matchmaking attempts will generate errors. This restriction also extends to online friendlies with friends.
However, you can still immerse yourself in offline modes such as Player and Manager Career, which function without an internet connection. Both modes have undergone significant enhancements, making it an ideal time to explore their features. The Player Career mode lets you forge your legacy, while the Manager Career allows you to lead your favorite club to new successes.
In the Manager Career mode, you can play as a player within the club you manage or opt to follow an Icon career path. With various gameplay options available, you can maximize your enjoyment while the servers are down. Keep in mind that previous titles, including FIFA 23 and FC 24, will also be unavailable during this routine maintenance.
