EA FC 25: How to Skip Songs, Explained

Not all the songs slap, unfortunately.

There are some absolute bangers among the 100-plus tracks in EA FC 25‘s soundtrack, giving you all the heat you need for your matches and menu grind. But we know you ultras are a tough crowd, so it is unlikely you’ll vibe with all of them and will quickly reach for the skip button.

The controls for it have been changed from the last game. Here’s where the skip button is now, as well as some other settings we suggest checking out to get the best out of the diverse soundtrack in EA FC 25.

To skip a song in EA FC 25, you’ll have to press both analog sticks at the same time — the two joysticks on your controller, like the L3 and R3 for PlayStation.

Once you press them together, whatever song is currently playing will be skipped, and the next song will play (bit obvious this, innit?). However, if you really don’t like a song and don’t want to hear it again, there are better ways to mute it than doing this every time it comes on.

To permanently disable a song from playing again in EA FC 25, just follow these steps:

  1. From the game’s main menu, head to Settings (the cog icon on the top-left of your screen).
  2. Click on the bottom-right tile “EA Sports Music.”
  3. Now, all the in-game tracks will be in front of you. Just click “X” for PlayStation or “A” for Xbox on the song you don’t want, and you won’t hear it again.
  4. Simply press those buttons back to undo this.

All songs that are enabled will have green checkmarks, while disabled tracks won’t.

Next, we suggest sitting there for an hour and unchecking all the songs you don’t like so you only hear banger after banger after banger after banger while you tirelessly farm upgrade packs. Since you’ve put in so much effort to make your ideal playlist, then why not even bring it to Ultimate Team matches? 

How To Play Songs During Matches In EA FC 25

To make sure the EA FC 25 soundtrack continues to play during the matches, head to game settings and toggle on the “Music Always On” under Audio. This will automatically disable commentary as well as other music, but the crowd noise, stadium sounds, and other ambiance will stay.

While the soundtrack continues to play, you won’t be able to skip them — not even in the pause menu — until the match ends. Once you get bored of the entire track, just mute commentary and music and play Spotify in the background. You can either plug in your favorite artists or make a playlist with past FIFA classics.

No, this won’t solve your skill issue, but you can listen to some bangers while your opponent puts five past your keeper! If you do want to improve your gameplay, something like the best tactics, builds, or selecting using the right Evolution for the right player will be of more help.
