This is the first major maintenance of June, following a minor one in the first half of the month. EA Sports hasn’t declared an exact reason behind today’s maintenance, which could be related to the upcoming Title Update 16. Once the servers are taken down, all forms of online matchmaking will be temporarily suspended. However, the developers have also announced when the servers will return online.

Which EA FC 25 modes will be unavailable?
Any modes with online matchmaking are now disabled. You might still be able to enter modes like Ultimate Team, but you won’t be able to start a match. Trying to matchmake will result in an error message, which will remain in place until the server maintenance is complete.
You can try out theCareer Mode, which lets you play as a manager and player. Certain objectives, like completing matches, will reward you with Seasonal Points in Ultimate Team (and fast-track yourSeason 8 ladder progression). This mode doesn’t require an internet connection, which is perfect for occasions like server maintenance.
Once the maintenance is over, you can enjoy modes like Ultimate Team and Online Friendlies without any further disruptions.
