With FC 25 having both an online component and a whole season of new content, it's no surprise that the servers sometimes go down.

Sometimes these FC outages are due to planned maintenance, and sometimes they are due to unplanned crashes or too many people on the servers.

To get you back playing FC 25, here’s a look at how to check the FC 25 server status to see if FC 25 is down.

Read on for everything you need to know.

Is EA FC 25 down?

Yes, FC 25 is currently down.

The game went offline at 9am GMT on Wednesday 19th March for players here in the UK.

This is due to some planned maintenance, rather than anything sinister.

The developers have promised on social media that FC 25 should be back online at around 11:30 GMT here in the UK.

How to check EA FC 25 server status

If you're reading this article in the far future, you might want to know how to check the FC 25 server status for yourself.

The best place to check on the FC 25 server status will initially be via the EA Sports FC Direct Communications account on X (formerly Twitter).

This account will frequently post updates about any server updates, maintenance, or ongoing investigations into known issues.

EA also has an official website that lists the current server status of its many major online games.

Outside of these official accounts, we’d also recommend taking a look at Downdetector’s two pages on EA and FIFA.

These pages will let you know if other players are reporting similar issues within the last 24 hours.

Finally, we’d also recommend making sure that your connection is working fine, both on your console and Wi-Fi router.
