Where Are EA Sports FC 25 Save Files Located?
FC 25 career saves under Local AppData, not Documents, and why title updates eat them.
Last updated
FC 25 keeps careers and profiles in %LOCALAPPDATA%\EA SPORTS FC 25\settings, with setup in fcsetup.ini beside it. Ignore older FIFA guides pointing at Documents: this series moved to Local AppData and never moved back.
Title updates have a habit of eating careers, so back up the whole EA SPORTS FC 25 folder on a schedule, not just once. The standard repair is deleting the settings folder and verifying files, then restoring your backup rather than replaying seasons.
Where EA Sports FC 25 stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\EA SPORTS FC 25\settings\
Career .sav files plus settings (AppID 2669320). Config in fcsetup.ini alongside. Hidden by default. No Steam userdata career saves. No native Linux or Mac build exists.
Frequently asked questions
My FC 25 career vanished after an update. Can I recover it?
Only from your own backup of the EA SPORTS FC 25 folder. Updates overwrite the settings tree in place, so scheduled copies are the entire safety net.
Where is the FC 25 settings file?
fcsetup.ini (sometimes fcsetup.cfg in forum posts) directly under %LOCALAPPDATA%\EA SPORTS FC 25. Delete the settings subfolder, not the ini, for the standard settings reset.
