Overview
- Liga MX, which was reported Friday to have a verbal deal with EA Sports, would return to EA Sports FC in the 2027 release if the agreement is finalized.
- The claim comes from Fox Sports commentator Raúl “Pollo” Ortiz, whose post was picked up by Bolavip, La Crónica de Hoy, and Merca2.0.
- Outlets describe the arrangement as an oral agreement and say written contracts and official statements are still pending.
- The league left EA’s series in 2022 after an exclusive license with Konami’s eFootball, which removed Mexican clubs from EA titles.
- A return would bring back official club names, crests, kits, and players for millions of Mexican gamers in a market where EA’s game has a larger player base than Konami’s.
