EA SPORTS FC Mobile has announced a landmark collaboration with Major League Soccer (MLS) and Apple TV, set to revolutionise the football fan experience.
For the first time, players can watch select live MLS regular season matches directly within the EA SPORTS FC Mobile app, thanks to a simulcast from the MLS Season Pass on Apple TV. This pioneering initiative seamlessly blends live sports viewership with interactive gaming.
Starting this month, four 2025 MLS regular season matches will be broadcast live inside EA SPORTS FC Mobile. Players who have reached Account Level 4 can access these broadcasts via the new “FCM TV” portal, found by tapping the “Extra Time” button in the Main Menu.
This integration offers far more than passive viewing. Fans tuning into the live matches will be rewarded with in-game currency. Furthermore, the “Football Centre,” a dedicated hub for global football content, will allow players to actively participate by playing the featured matchups within the game. A special “Showdown Player Exchange” will also be available before the live broadcasts, deepening the connection between the virtual and real-world action.
Speaking on the occasion, Lawrence Koh, VP, EA SPORTS FC Mobile, 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. Alongside our partners at MLS and Apple TV, we share a dedication to a fan-first future of football, and we look forward to the reaction from fans worldwide as we continue to build on this moment for the future of EA SPORTS FC Mobile.”
Camilo Durana, Executive VP at Major League Soccer, 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 and 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.”
The live broadcasts on FCM TV commenced on May 10, 2025, at 23:30 UTC, with a highly anticipated rematch of the 2024 MLS Cup featuring the LA Galaxy against the New York Red Bulls. The excitement continues with the second match scheduled for May 17, 2025, at 23:30 UTC, where Atlanta United FC will take on the Philadelphia Union. Looking further ahead, two additional MLS Season Pass matches are planned to be streamed within EA SPORTS FC Mobile in September 2025, with the specific details of these matchups to be revealed soon.
This innovative partnership marks a significant step in merging the worlds of interactive gaming and live sports, promising deeper fan engagement and attracting a new generation of football enthusiasts globally.
