Electronic Arts is happy to announce that the UEFA EURO 2024 tournament is coming to EA Sports FC 24, EA Sports FC Mobile, and EA Sports FC Online.
The partnership seems to be similar to when Electronic Arts partnered with the Women’s World Cup 2023 in FIFA 23. This should include the ability to play in the tournament, as well as promotional content being pushed through online platforms, such as Ultimate Team. Here is when you can expect to get your hands on it.
When Will The UEFA EURO 2024 Update Launch?
Coinciding when the tournament begins, UEFA EURO 2024 will launch as a free update for EA Sports FC 24. However, there is no official starting date as of yet.
Fortunately, players who play EA FC 24 before January 16, 2024, will receive an untradeable Ultimate Team player from December 18. If you are an EA Sports FC Mobile player, you’ll receive your UEFA EURO 2024 item today.
UEFA EURO 2024 Ultimate Team Bonuses
The EA FC 24 UEFA EURO 2024 Ultimate Team item will feature one of six European stars:

“We’re delighted to announce that one of next summer’s biggest football tournaments will be fully integrated across EA SPORTS FC titles,” said David Jackson, Vice President of Brand for EA SPORTS FC. “Alongside our fantastic partners at UEFA, this exclusive Euros content will enable EA SPORTS to continue delivering the most authentic and innovative football experiences for our fans.”
In return, Guy-Laurent Epstein, the UEFA Marketing Director, stated, “We are delighted to further expand our partnership with EA SPORTS, with UEFA EURO 2024 becoming a part of the EA SPORTS FC game.”
eEURO Tournament Details
EA Sports will be the official platform for the eEURO esports program. This tournament will feature some of Europe’s best players, representing different nations in Europe. Unlike the official real-life EUROs, this tournament will be held annually and will include qualification phases leading to a live final, the first of which will occur mid next year. More details on this will come at a later date.
EA Sports FC 24 is available now for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The game is currently on special for Black Friday, so if you’re interested in playing the game, there is no better time to purchase it.
