Bundesliga extends EA SPORTS FC partnership
The Bundesliga has announced a partnership extension of their long-standing deal with EA SPORTS FC with the new partnership extension set so see Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 be a part of EA SPORTS FC. The partnership will see both EA SPORTS and Bundesliga work on enhancing fan experiences and also create touchpoints that connect fans with the Bundesliga and its clubs throughout the season and extend the league’s presence beyond matchdays.
EA SPORTS and Bundesliga have been partners since 1998 with the latest extension building on that long-term partnership and EA SPORTS FC will continue on as a Partner of the Virtual Bundesliga (VBL), the league’s official EA SPORTS FC PRO competition, and the Presenting Partner of the Bundesliga’s Player of the Month and Player of the Season awards.
