The agreement ensures that both competitions, along with their authentic branding, matchday presentation, and official trophies, will be fully integrated into EA SPORTS FC 26, giving players around the world the most realistic women’s football experience ever.

The UEFA Women’s Champions League first appeared in EA SPORTS titles in 2022, marking a milestone for the women’s game in video gaming. With this new deal, EA SPORTS expands its commitment to delivering inclusive and authentic football experiences to fans.

“After the incredible success of the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 and the continued growth of the Women’s Champions League, we are delighted to extend our partnership with EA SPORTS,” said Guy-Laurent Epstein, UEFA Marketing Director. “This collaboration helps us bring women’s football closer to millions of fans worldwide, inspiring the next generation of players.”

James Taylor, EA SPORTS Director of Football Partnerships, added: “FC 26 will be the most authentic football simulation we’ve ever created. Featuring the Women’s Champions League and Women’s EURO alongside the men’s competitions reflects our commitment to celebrating and elevating the women’s game for players everywhere.”

EA SPORTS FC 26 will include more than 20,000 licensed players, over 750 clubs and national teams, and 35 professional leagues, making it the most comprehensive football gaming experience to date. With women’s football now a core part of the franchise, fans will be able to play across major competitions, from the Barclays Women’s Super League to the UEFA Women’s Champions League, in unprecedented detail.

Early access to FC 26 is now available through the Ultimate Edition, with the global launch scheduled for later this month.
