In an unexpected hiccup for EA SPORTS FC 25 players, connectivity issues disrupted access to the game’s servers last night, sparking frustration across the community. EA’s official support channel, EA SPORTS FC Direct Communication (@EASFCDirect), confirmed the problems via Twitter (X), assuring players they were investigating the situation and working toward a resolution.
“We are investigating reports of players being unable to connect to EA servers and will provide an update when available.”
The outage reportedly affected a large number of players attempting to access online modes, particularly during the high-stakes Champions Finals weekend – a key event in the game’s Ultimate Team mode. With matches being time-sensitive and competition fierce, the disruption raised concerns about fairness and potentialmissed opportunities for players to complete their games.
Several hours later, EA followed up with a resolution and an olive branch:
“The connectivity issues should be resolved. Thank you for your patience.”
Acknowledging the impact on gameplay, EA also announced a compensatory measure:
“As a result of this issue, the Champions Finals event will be extended by 24 hours. This will be reflected in-game shortly.”
This 24-hour extension gives affected players additional time to complete their remaining matches and earn rewards – though it remains to be seen if it will fully offset the frustrations caused by the downtime.
No further technical details about the root cause of the server issues have been disclosed at the time of writing.
For now, connectivity appears to be stable, but fans remain vigilant, hoping for smoother weekends ahead -especially with competitive FUT Champs events being central to the FC 25 online experience.
