EA Sports' football video game franchise could be set for a name change after FIFA 23, if their license agreement is not renewed with FIFA.
According to previous reporting from the New York Times, EA Sports and FIFA's current 10-year deal could be set to end following this year's World Cup in Qatar (December 2022), meaning a potential franchise name change could come after the launch of FIFA 23 (Expected September 2022), should this licence not be renewed. Yesterday, Mirror Football reported that EA Sports are still planning to release FIFA 23 this year, but that the huge gaming franchise could be set to end soon, following comments made by EA's CEO Andrew Wilson to employees.
