The Mexican top‑flight league is making its comeback to the EA Sports FC franchise after a five‑year hiatus, thanks to a new exclusive agreement with Konami. The league’s official announcement in July 2024 confirmed the return, accompanied by artwork and promotional material that highlighted the reintegration of Liga MX clubs into the series.
EA Sports detailed a precise rollout schedule: player rating adjustments for the Mexican squads will be applied on August 20, 2024, while the full set of playable teams will become available when EA Sports FC 27 launches on September 25, 2024; early access begins a week earlier on September 18.
A new chapter for Mexican football in the virtual arena
The re‑entry of Liga MX marks the first appearance of Mexican clubs in EA Sports FC since the franchise dropped the FIFA name, restoring a beloved feature for millions of fans who have waited years for their teams to return. This partnership not only satisfies long‑standing fan demand but also sets the stage for deeper collaborations between the league and the gaming platform.
Industry observers expect the inclusion to boost engagement across both the gaming and sports communities, offering a fresh avenue for supporters to interact with their favorite clubs and players. As the release date approaches, anticipation continues to build, promising a significant moment for both the esports ecosystem and the broader soccer fanbase.
