It would be a million dollar deal.

Electronic Arts is one of the most important companies in our sector, and despite the controversies that surround them, no one can doubt their turnover. This great success as a company is due to many successful franchises, but those that shine the most are usually those that have to do with sports of all kinds, being in our most famous territory the renowned FIFA franchise.
Now, unfortunately, an era is ending, and that is that FIFA will no longer have that name, and that is that this saga will change its name to EA Sports FC. Specifically, the first video game to have that name will be released during this year 2023, and even so we still do not know many details about this.
Even so, now we have learned, somewhat unofficially, about a licensing agreement for this new video game, although to tell the truth we cannot say that it is “new”. Here we tell you everything:
The Premier League extends its agreement with EA
Specifying a bit now, we are talking about an agreement that Electronic Arts would have reached with the Premier Leagueand which has been reported by Sky Sports, one of the most recognized sports media in the United Kingdom.
In their report, they talk about Electronic Arts having reached an agreement with the Premier League to extend its licensing agreement, although of course this will not come cheap for the American company. According to them, this agreement would be worth £80 million a yearthis being more than double the agreement they had up to now.
Of course, and as we have already dropped at the beginning, none of this is official, and it is information leaked by a local media, so it will have the credibility that each one wants to give it. Even so, we can say that, it could be expected that, once you were part of the FIFA umbrella, Electronic Arts would have to reach agreements with the different leagues, and the truth is that they could not leave out the Premier League, since in this we can find some of the best clubs.
