EA SPORTS Becomes Official Video Game Partner of England Men’s and Women’s Teams

London, August 2025 – The Football Association (FA) has confirmed a new landmark partnership with EA SPORTS, naming the gaming giant as the official football video game partner of both the England men’s and women’s national teams. The deal expands on a relationship that has already spanned more than a decade, cementing EA SPORTS’ role in showcasing English football on a global stage.

World Cup Ambitions for the Three Lions and Lionesses

Under Thomas Tuchel, the England men’s team are pushing to secure qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
