EA Sports is reportedly closing in on a big-money deal with the Premier League that would see EA Sports FC granted an exclusive licence.
According to Sky Sports, all twenty Premier League clubs were briefed last week that a new six-year deal between the lucrative football league and EA Sports had been struck, with the agreement reportedly worth a whopping £488m, ahead of the launch of their new flagship title EA Sports FC. The reported figure is understood to be worth more than double what the current deal is worth, with the partnership set to rake in over £80m annually.
Last year, it was announced that EA and FIFA's 30-year partnership would be coming to an end after the release of FIFA 23, with EA Sports confirming their plans to continue making their own football game called EA Sports FC. FIFA responded by claiming they will make a football game of their own, though details have been scarce.
