Liga MX Poised to Return in FC 27 After Long Absence: All You Need To Know

Mexico's top division, Liga MX, is touted to return to the most popular football simulation title, EA FC. Liga MX last appeared in this game four years ago when the game was called FIFA 22. The rumours have sparked discussions in the community with many speculating the news to be a publicity stunt.

FC 27 rumoured to return to Liga MX

The Mexican top division, Liga MX, is touted to return in the next iteration of EA FC games. As per one of the established Mexican commentators, Raoul Ortiz, the Mexican top leagues may return to FC 27.

The Fox Sports journalist reported that the Mexican Football Federation is in talks to reach an agreement with EA and the league is closer to returning to the game than ever before. If it is officially confirmed, players would get to see all 18 clubs that are part of it, along with real players, official kits and more. High-profile stars like Correa, Ocampos and Navas would return in the game.

Liga MX Return Could Influence Licensing Dynamics

While the report may sound fancy on the surface, Liga MX's return in FC 27 could influence licensing dynamics. Some of the top Liga MX clubs, like CD Guadalajara and Club America, are officially licensed with EA's rival eFootball, published by Konami.

While the Japanese giants lost the official license of Liga MX back in 2025, they have remained in close contact with several clubs from the league at an individual level. Even then, EA didn't manage to secure its license for FC 26. This report broke after another top South American league, Brasileirao, had been teased to arrive for months.

Licensing dynamics have their own set of complexities. It has long been observed that the two top football simulation titles often compete to get their share of exclusive rights.

At the end of the day, the users are attracted towards playing with their favourite authentic clubs and players in the game. Hence, securing club and league licensing is an important factor in attracting users.

No club can hold licensing agreements with two competing games for the same type of rights. As long as some of the top clubs from Liga MX continue to be part of Konami's eFootball, the chances of all Mexican clubs returning in FC 27 seem to be a far-fetched affair.
