The good news for Career mode fans continues, as according to reliable leaks, the Brazilian league is returning in FC 26!
After the Liga MX return was revealed, it has now been disclosed that the Brazilian league will follow in the same footspets. Negotiations between EA Sports and the Brazilian federation, clubs, and players are stil ongoing, but they are expected to arrive at a safe port soon.
Brazilian League set to return in FC 26
The Brazilian League is ready to make a comeback to the EA FC franchise in FC 26. As mentioned above, league, clubs, players, and other media rights entities are negotiating for the return of the Brazilian Serie A, and possibly Serie B as well.
A few Brazilian clubs have an exclusive agreement with Konami eFootball and are skeptical about the chance, as their current partnership is very lucrative. However, according to reports, players are pressuring clubs to make the change, since EA FC is more popular and will attract more eyeballs to the league and players.
There is a good chance a few clubs don't buckle and continue their exclusive deals with eFootball. In that case, clubs will have a different logo, name, and stadium, similar to what happens to Serie A teams such as Inter and AC Milan in FC 25.
The negotiation with players for image rights is quite tricky. In Brazil, the Pele law states that there needs to be an individual deal between the player and the entity that wants to use their likeness.
As you can imagine, this would take a long time to do, so EA Sports plans to offer a standard deal to most players, while negotiating better deals with the biggest stars in the league.
Reports have also revealed that there is no face scan schedule planned for now. Scanned faces will be from players who have been in the game previously, but a scan is likely to happen in the future.
While the Brazilian League is returning in FC 26, it likely won't happen at launch, with the league being added to the game in an update. It would be better if the league were already in the game at launch. However, the most important thing is that one of the most popular leagues in the world is coming back to the EA FC franchise.
