Electronic Arts Inc. and Major League Soccer (MLS) are set to enhance the viewing experience for EA SPORTS FC™ Mobile players by offering live access to four select matches from the 2025 MLS regular season via the in-game FCM TV portal.

This initiative is made possible through a live simulcast of the MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, marking a pivotal step in the ongoing collaboration between EA SPORTS, MLS, and Apple TV, and representing a significant first for EA SPORTS in delivering live sports content to a global audience.

Emphasising the shared vision of fan-first future in football with MLS and Apple TV, VP of EA SPORTS FC Mobile, Lawrence Koh, said: “By being able to watch select live MLS Season Pass matches within EA SPORTS FC Mobile, we’re continuing a commitment to our players to bring them closer to the game they love, by investing in innovation and growing experiences offered through our platform.”

Executive VP at Major League Soccer, Camilo Durana, added: “This collaboration with EA SPORTS and Apple TV underscores MLS’s commitment to pushing boundaries, innovation, and fan-first experiences.”

“By bringing select live MLS Season Pass matches to EA SPORTS FC Mobile, we’re reaching new and digitally native audiences around the world, continuing to broaden the way we’re building relationships with fans.

“It’s easier than ever to experience the excitement of MLS, our Clubs, our world-class players, and our vibrant supporters,” Durana said.

The action commenced last Saturday, May 10, with a highly anticipated rematch of the MLS Cup 2024, presented by Audi, featuring the reigning champions LA Galaxy squared off against the New York Red Bulls.

In addition to the live match, players have access to the Football Centre, an all-in-one hub for the latest updates on global football events, allowing them to engage with the in-game experience and complete a featured Showdown Player Exchange prior to tuning in.

The second match is set to be streamed on FCM TV on May 17, featuring Atlanta United FC facing off against the Philadelphia Union.

Two additional MLS Season Pass matches will be available for streaming within EA SPORTS FC Mobile in September, with specific matchups to be confirmed at a later date.
