EA Sports FC has announced a major new partnership with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) ahead of the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027, marking a significant boost for Asian football in the gaming world.

Under the agreement, EA Sports FC will become an official licensed product partner for the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027. This means fans can expect official tournament integration, teams, branding and potentially dedicated game modes in upcoming EA FC titles.

While EA Sports has not yet revealed full details regarding the in-game features, reports suggest the AFC Asian Cup could become a playable tournament mode in EA FC 27. More announcements about gameplay content and licensing details are expected later this year.

The AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027 is scheduled to take place from January 7 to February 5, 2027, with matches set to be played across eight stadiums in Riyadh, Jeddah and Al Khobar. A total of 24 national teams will compete in Asia’s flagship international football tournament.

The partnership is seen as another step in EA Sports FC’s aggressive expansion of global football licensing following its rebranding from the FIFA video game franchise. The move is also expected to increase the visibility of Asian football among gaming audiences worldwide.

Asian football competitions have continued to grow commercially in recent years, with the AFC securing multiple global sponsorship and broadcasting partnerships ahead of the 2027 tournament in Saudi Arabia.

For football gamers and Asian football fans alike, the deal promises a more authentic and immersive AFC tournament experience inside EA Sports FC in the coming years.
