Given the FC 26 Coins league’s immense popularity and the looming 2026 World Cup, there’s a strong incentive for EA to lock down a new agreement.
Why Liga MX Matters
Mexico’s top football division isn’t just another league—it’s one of the most-watched soccer competitions in the world. In the United States, only the Premier League boasts higher average TV ratings, and Liga MX games regularly outdraw major MLS and European fixtures in terms of local support.
This massive following makes it an important target for EA Sports. Without Liga MX, EA FC games have been missing out on a huge part of the North American market. Players in Mexico and the Hispanic community in the U.S. are eager to play with licensed versions of their favorite clubs. Bringing the league back will be a major win for EA in both sales and fan satisfaction.
What's in It for Gamers?
If Liga MX returns, it won’t just be a cosmetic upgrade. Players can expect:
Licensed kits and crests for all 18 teams
Accurate player likenesses and rosters
Stadiums featuring authentic Mexican football atmosphere
Fully integrated clubs for Career Mode and Ultimate Team
Potential for World Cup tie-in events featuring Mexican clubs and venues
This opens up a host of new possibilities in gameplay, team-building, and online competition—especially with the World Cup being hosted partly in Mexico next year.
Other Licensing News
While the possible return of Liga MX is great news, there are still licensing gaps in FC 26. Major Italian sides AC Milan and Inter Milan are still expected to be absent. Their rights remain with Konami, meaning they’ll likely appear in EA’s game as cheap FIFA 26 Coins generic teams.
