EA FC 25 servers down for maintenance ahead of FC 26 reveal – here's when it comes back online
EA FC 25 is experiencing a surprise downtime period, which is expected to keep players boxed out of the game for a few hours. A new bout of downtime has been sprung upon EA FC 25 with just a couple of hours' notice, not long after the most recent server shutdown. It comes as the Futties Team 2 package is expected to land in the most recent title very shortly, following the success of Futties Team 1. It also comes shortly before players are expecting to see the reveal of EA FC 26, now that the EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition cover has been announced. Curiously, though, it's not just EA FC 25 that's suffering here – it has been revealed that EA FC 25, EA FC 24 and FIFA 23 are all affected by the shutdown, meaning that if you're playing any recent footy game from the EA Sports team, chances are you're locked out. EA FC servers down and when maintenance ends The EA FC 25 server downtime began at 1am PDT / 4am EDT / 9am BST on Wednesday, July 16, and is expected to be brought to a close at 4am PDT / 7am EDT / 12pm BST. This information was revealed by a new tweet from EA Sports FC Direct, confirming the titles that would be affected and the three-hour downtime. Deactivating match creation 30 minutes before downtime began, and with such little notice, it's easy to imagine that some players were caught by surprise here – it can't have been much worse than the early July EA FC downtime, which sprung out at fans with only an hour on the clock. Either way, this bout of downtime is a longer one than last time, so nestle in and get comfy. It seems that the game is going to be taking its time.

EA FC 25 servers down and here's when you can get back online again
EA FC 25 has plunged into downtime in a pretty shocking turnaround, and players are finding themselves trapped outside of the game. It's time for a new bout of downtime for EA FC 25, and though players were completely blindsided by its arrival, it's hoped that the outage period will lead to a stronger game. EA FC 25 is no stranger to downtime, as we know, but it seems that it's getting a little less charitable with it this time around. As players brace for the incoming Futties promo after the major launch of Shapeshifters Team 4, players have plenty to get stuck into in the game, even as the middle of the year flies past and fans start to look to the future of the franchise, whenever that may arrive. We're entering a period which will likely see some players disengage before the new game appears, but that doesn't mean that EA isn't fighting for your attention, especially with all of the promos it has been throwing out recently. There's more to come, though, as EA FC has dunked its most recent title under some downtime with very little notice, and has boxed players out of matchmaking for the length of it. It's not really a great look, as even though downtime is par for the course with games that run on a live service, they're usually a little better signposted than this downtime was. So what's up with this EA FC 25 downtime? And when will it end? Here's what you need to know about the current EA FC 25 downtime. READ MORE: EA FC 25 servers down and when maintenance ends The EA FC 25 server downtime began at 1am PDT / 4am EDT / 9am BST on Wednesday, July 9, and is scheduled to end at 2.30am PDT / 5.30am EDT / 10.30am BST. This has been revealed by a new tweet from EA Sports FC Direct, which announced that the downtime is set to affect EA Sports FC 25 on all platforms. The tweet came with less than an hour's notice, and as it deactivated match creation 30 minutes before the downtime began, it's likely that players were blindsided by this. It's not ideal, but at the very least, we can expect some proper maintenance to take place during this time, and hopefully get some bug fixes out of it too.
