EA Sports FC Mobile continues to evolve, much like its console counterpart, and despite the absence of the FIFA license, EA has swiftly formed new alliances. A prime example is their recent partnership that allows players to watch select Major League Soccer (MLS) matches directly within EA Sports FC Mobile. This exciting development comes thanks to a collaboration between EA, the American MLS, and Apple TV+.
Fans can dive into live simulcasts of four upcoming MLS matches through the in-game FCM TV Portal. Not only can you enjoy the thrill of live football, but you'll also have access to the Football Centre, which keeps you updated on global football events. This feature adds an extra layer of engagement, making it a must-visit for any football enthusiast.
While the MLS might not have the global prestige of FIFA, it still offers thrilling matches. Highlights include LA Galaxy versus New York Red Bulls on May 10th, and Atlanta United FC versus Philadelphia Union on May 17th. And here's the kicker: you'll earn in-game currency just by watching these matches!
This partnership underscores EA's ambition to expand beyond their previous FIFA commitments. Offering these matches and rewarding viewers with in-game currency is a clever strategy to boost fan engagement. Moreover, the Football Centre's innovative feature allows players to recreate real-world matches in-game, adding a unique interactive element to the experience.
Although you'll need to wait until September to catch the last two MLS matches of this partnership, the anticipation is likely to be worthwhile if the initial matches prove enjoyable.
