Will the Bundesliga be in EA Sports FC?

With the FIFA 23 game cycle beginning to wind down, fans are starting to turn their attention to EA's next release - EA Sports FC.

With EA splitting from FIFA this year, the userbase has begun to speculate on what licenses the new game, EA Sports FC, will actually hold.

The German Bundesliga has quickly become one of the most popular leagues in the game, producing several world-class talents in recent seasons like Jude Bellingham, Jamal Musiala and Erling Haaland.

So, find out whether the Bundesliga will be in EA Sports FC below.

Will the Bundesliga be in EA Sports FC?

In short, the answer is yes. The Bundesliga will be in EA Sports FC.

According to EA's latest announcement, the new game will be "built on a foundation of inclusivity and innovation, fans will experience unrivalled authenticity with access to more than 19,000 fully licensed players, 700 teams, and 30 leagues, with the support of over 300 global football partners that will allow further expansion into areas including both women’s and grassroots football."

Confirmed as partners so far are the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, WSL, NWSL, and CONMEBOL, with more set to follow.

Like in FIFA 23, all 18 Bundesliga teams will feature in FC 24 along with player names, club kits, badges, stadia and more.

With such a vast portfolio of licenses at its disposal, EA already holds the upper hand over its rivals.

Release Date

With no release date officially confirmed just yet, we can only speculate on when EA Sports FC 24 will hit the shelves.

We do, however, have a pretty good idea of when EA's new title will likely be released, judging by the release dates of FIFA editions over recent years.

The last four FIFA editions were released on the following dates:

• FIFA 20 - 24 September 2019
• FIFA 21 - 9 October 2020
• FIFA 22 - 27 September 2021
• FIFA 23 - 27 September 2022

FIFA 21's release date was pushed back from its usual late September slot after EA Sports' plans were disrupted by the Coronavirus pandemic.

So, as you can see, there's a clear pattern here.

With those dates in mind, EA Sports FC 24 will likely be released on Friday, 29 September 2023, in keeping with the FIFA titles that have gone before.
