EA “FIFA 24” didn’t really happen under that name — the series was rebranded to EA Sports FC 24 after EA ended its long-running licensing deal with FIFA. The core reason was licensing and money: FIFA reportedly wanted a much higher fee, while EA decided the FIFA name was no longer worth it.

What changed

  • Same game lineage, new name. EA Sports FC 24 is effectively the successor to FIFA 23.
  • The FIFA brand left the box. EA moved on from the FIFA license after decades of partnership.
  • Licenses mostly stayed. EA kept major football rights like the Premier League, La Liga, and the UEFA Champions League.

Why people still say “FIFA 24”

A lot of players and creators kept using “FIFA 24” out of habit, but the official title is EA Sports FC 24. Community posts and videos still mix the old and new names, which is why the confusion stuck around.
