EA Sports FC Mobile continues to enhance its offerings, mirroring the success of its console counterpart. Despite parting ways with the prestigious FIFA license, EA has swiftly pivoted to form new partnerships, one of which brings a thrilling feature to fans: the ability to watch select Major League Soccer (MLS) matches directly within the game.
Thanks to a groundbreaking deal with the American MLS and Apple TV+, fans can now tune into live simulcasts of four exciting MLS matches. Simply navigate to the in-game FCM TV Portal to catch these matches live. Alongside the live action, the companion Football Centre keeps you updated on the latest global football events.
Although the MLS may not carry the same global prestige as FIFA, it still hosts compelling games that football enthusiasts will enjoy. Highlights include the LA Galaxy facing off against the New York Red Bulls on May 10th, and Atlanta United FC taking on Philadelphia Union on May 17th. What's more, you'll be rewarded with in-game currency simply for tuning in!
Back of the net This innovative partnership underscores EA's ambition to expand beyond the FIFA umbrella. Offering these live matches and rewarding players for watching is a smart strategy to boost fan engagement.
The Football Centre further enhances the experience by allowing players to recreate real-world matches within the game. While fans will have to wait until September to enjoy the last two MLS matches of this series, the anticipation could well be justified if the initial matches prove to be as enjoyable as expected.
