Will EA FC 24 have real players and teams?

The upcoming EA SPORTS FC 24 is the first football sim from EA following their split with FIFA and many fans may be wondering if real players and teams will still be featured in the game. Here’s everything we know about teams, players, and licenses in the EA SPORTS FC 24.

After EA and FIFA announced they would be parting ways after a 30-year relationship, EA quickly revealed their next game would be entitled EA SPORTS FC 24 and while the name may be different, the gameplay and trailer footage we’ve seen so far have confirmed it’s still the same core football sim that fans worldwide have come to love.

Many fans were wondering if staple elements from FIFA would be carried over to EA FC SPORTS 24 however, and perhaps the biggest concern was whether or not real teams and players would still be available in the game.

Here’s everything we know so far about real teams, players, and licenses in EA SPORTS FC 24.
