Why FIFA 24 is called EA FC 24 - the future of EA Sports' football game series explained

If you were expecting to buy a game called FIFA 24 this year, you're out of luck. But, the good news is that EA Sports' football game series is still running, just under different branding.

EA Sports' FIFA series is by far the most popular football game series, and has been for the last 30 years, with EA having sold over 325 million copies of FIFA games as of 2021, with plenty more having been sold since then. So, if the franchise has been such a raging success, why won't EA be making a FIFA 24 in 2023?

Well, it's because EA is now moving forward with a new football gaming series, EA Sports FC. The first instalment of the new game series is likely to be called EA FC 24 according to recent leaks, with the new title leaked to be released later this year. EA's decision to move away from FIFA branding was formally confirmed last year, with the 30-year partnership between the publisher and the international governing body of association football officially coming to an end.
