EA Sports Unveils Major Football League Partners for $1 Million 2026 FC Pro Circuit

Electronic Arts (EA), through its EA Sports division, has confirmed the slate of league partner events that will form the structured qualification pathway for the EA FC 2026 FC Pro World Championship.

The partnership model integrates more than a dozen licensed competitions with a combined prize pool exceeding $1,000,000, reinforcing EA’s commitment to scaling the competitive circuit globally.

Underscoring the strategic and commercial value of these tie-ups, head of Esports at Electronic Arts, Monica Dinsmore, said: “These collaborations highlight the real impact esports has in helping football brands reach new fans, and reinforces the credibility FC Pro has built with some of the most respected clubs and leagues in the world.”

The partnership model allows physical football organisations to leverage the recognisable esports platform to engage with the next generation of fans.

The FC Pro League Phase provides the vital competitive structure, relying on collaboration with established football organisations to offer players a pathway to qualify for major international events, including the eChampions League and the season-ending FC Pro World Championship.

Key global partners returning include the Premier League (England), LALIGA (Spain), Bundesliga (Germany), Ligue 1 (France), Serie A TIM (Italy), CONMEBOL (LATAM), and MLS (United States).

The program of events for 2026 demonstrates the global reach and competitive depth of the circuit, featuring tournaments such as CONMEBOL eLibertadores, eMLS, ePremier League, LALIGA FC Pro, and WOW Virtual Bundesliga, among many others.

The presence of high-profile players, including reigning FC Pro World Champion Manu Bachoore competing in eLigue 1 and Anders Vejrgang in eSerie A, elevates the profile and competitive honour of the regional events.

EA Sports ensures a high-stakes, synchronised competitive calendar that provides an official, credible route for players to represent professional clubs on the virtual pitch.

Additional league partners are expected to be announced in the new year, signalling further planned expansion of the lucrative circuit.
