Liga MX Signs Licensing Deal to Return to EA Sports FC Video Game

May 21, 2026 - 23:04

Mexican soccer fans will finally see their domestic league back in the popular video game franchise. Liga MX has signed a new licensing agreement with EA Sports, bringing the top division of Mexican football back to the virtual pitch starting with the EA Sports FC 27 title. The deal ends a five-year gap during which the league was absent from the series.

The agreement covers all 18 Liga MX clubs, including major teams like Club America, Chivas Guadalajara, and Cruz Azul. Players will be able to use official team kits, crests, and stadiums in the game. The return is a significant move for both sides. For EA Sports, it adds one of the most passionate football markets in the Americas. For Liga MX, it restores a major promotional channel that reaches millions of gamers worldwide.

The league originally appeared in the FIFA series for years before a dispute over licensing rights led to its removal in 2020. Since then, Liga MX had been featured in competing titles, including eFootball from Konami. The new deal signals a shift back to the EA Sports ecosystem.

No specific release date for FC 27 has been announced, but the game is expected to launch in late 2026. The announcement has already generated excitement among Mexican players and content creators who have been waiting for the league's return.
