There is only EA servers available if you’re on console. Your best bet would to be find an empty server and play on that. Unless you have a machine capable of running a server for PC gaming. Or rent from a 3rd party company. I believe they have plans to let you rent servers in the future.. if they ever get that far.

head into the server browser located in the multiplayer menu. Edit the settings to filter maps with 0 people on them. Select map and gametype and hop in. Invite your friend to join. Have fun playing around in an empty map.
