The listed 35+ Leagues brings the total number of Leagues up by 5 from EA Sports FC 25.

While we still don’t have any confirmation as to while these Leagues might be, fans on X were quick to speculate about just which might be coming to the game.

One commenter points out that Chile and the Korean 2nd Division are likely introductions to come with these new Leagues. While they point out that the Korean 2nd Division was actually supposed to be released as part of EA Sports FC 25 last November, their reasoning for the Chilean League is far less secure, stating that the League’s inclusion has been rumored for a while.

The same player also goes on to mention that Mexico may be a contender, but they don’t provide reasoning as to why.

While there are many options for the new leagues coming to the game, many commenters have expressed their desire under the X post for Brazil to be one of the five new Leagues coming to the game. Of all of the hopes expressed by players, Brazil is by far the most popular, and the League’s popularity may see it being added to the game.
