Fans React to Borussia Dortmund Ending Partnership With EA FC

Borussia Dortmund's partnership with EA Sports, specifically for the EA Sports FC series (formerly FIFA), ended on June 30, 2025, as confirmed by multiple posts on X. The EA Sports logo was removed from Dortmund’s official website, indicating the termination of their collaboration. While Dortmund is expected to remain licensed in EA Sports FC 26 with their official crest and kits, the Signal Iduna Park stadium may not be included in future editions due to the end of this partnership.

Borussia Dortmund Partnership Ended with EA FC

Borussia Dortmund will remain licensed in the upcoming edition of the FC series (EA Sports FC 26). However, their official kits will not be included in future editions, as they have already terminated their partnership. Several reports from Reddit and X suggest that Dortmund has removed EA Sports as its partner. The most obvious thing that confirms this is Dortmund removing the EA Sports logo from their website.

There could be a possibility that both parties didn't renew their licensing agreements. The exact reasons for this termination are not known yet, but clubs can make these decisions depending on new opportunities, better offers, and strategic alignment with other partners. Interestingly, several reliable sources suggest that Borussia Dortmund is now expected to join Japanese developer Konami for their future collaboration and projects.

However, neither Dortmund nor Konami has made any official announcement regarding this. There are also several reports that indicate Dortmund might join Copa City, which is an upcoming football game expected to be released in December 2025. Moreover, the German club has also announced two new partnerships with StarGames and BONK. While the former is an online gaming operator, the latter is a cryptocurrency company.

The best thing about EA FC is that it offers a vast collection of football clubs across all countries, giving gamers an authentic experience. Removing a major club from the game will definitely affect the authenticity. Meanwhile, fans are wondering how Dortmund will be represented in the game in the distant future. Will the club completely vanish, or will they appear with generic names and kits? While all these questions must surely be popping up in every EA FC fan's mind lately, we will have to wait for the future editions and official updates from EA Sports to get answers to these questions.
