Electronic Arts Introduces EA Advertising, Launching Brands Directly Into Gameplay and Live Experiences

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Connecting brands to highly engaged audiences through an exclusive EA SPORTS Partner Program, in-game integrations, creative partnerships, and scalable advertising capabilities across EA’s global portfolio

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), the global leader in interactive entertainment, today announced the launch of EA Advertising, a new platform transforming how brands connect with audiences through digital and real-world experiences across its global portfolio of games.

EA sits at the intersection of entertainment, sports, technology, music, and culture. Across console, mobile, and PC, our games and services reached more than 120 million players¹ each month during fiscal year 2026. Together, this scale and frequency of engagement create meaningful opportunities for brands to connect with audiences through authentic, interactive experiences. EA SPORTS is one of the largest interactive sports platforms in the world, connecting hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile each year. Fans engage with EA SPORTS at extraordinary scale playing the equivalent of 23,000 NFL seasons every day in Madden NFL and completing more than 1 billion matches each month in EA SPORTS FC. Through a portfolio spanning globally licensed franchises EA SPORTS gives brands access to highly engaged sports audiences at scale. EA builds spaces where players play, watch, and connect with one another, creating participatory experiences where brands come to play alongside them.

EA Advertising is expanding EA’s ecosystem by enabling brands to integrate directly into gameplay through dynamic, real-time placements, from stadium signage to custom in-game content, designed to enhance, not disrupt, the player experience. In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts. Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights.

“Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.”

As part of the launch, EA Advertising is introducing new ways for brands to reach audiences and measure performance across its ecosystem:

Brand Partnerships and Gameplay Integrations: EA Advertising partners directly with brands and agencies to create custom integrations designed for specific games and audiences. These collaborations bring brands into the experience through interactive moments, like in-game challenges, reward-driven objectives, and branded content. Brands can also opt into customizations like curated vanity items. Each integration is designed to reflect how fans engage with sports, games and culture, helping drive deeper engagement and brand connection.
Ad Units in 3D Sports Simulations: Advertisers can now reach fans through native ad units in select EA SPORTS games, including digital ad boards, scoreboards, and brand broadcast overlays. Ads are dynamically served within the 3D environment, with impression measurement aligned to IAB standards for greater targeting and consistency.
Enhanced Targeting and Measurement Capabilities: Brands can connect with relevant audiences across EA’s franchises using advanced targeting powered by EA’s new proprietary ad server and SDK, custom built for EA’s Frostbite game engine. Advertisers can now collaborate with EA in a privacy-safe way to improve targeting and gain deeper campaign insights. EA ensures ads are viewable, delivered to real audiences, and measured using industry-accredited standards in partnership with Integral Ad Science.
EA SPORTS Partner Program: As part of EA Advertising, the EA SPORTS Partner Program introduces a new model for how brands participate in sports culture—moving beyond traditional sponsorship into co-created fan experiences built in, around, and beyond the game. Designed as a premium ecosystem for a select group of official partners, the program gives brands access to one of the world’s most engaged sports communities through opportunities ranging from live events like EA SPORTS Presents Madden Bowl and franchise tentpole moments such as Ratings Reveals, to in-game integrations, live service activations, creator tools, social play experiences, and community-driven programs. The program also extends into broader cultural and athlete-driven initiatives, including GEN / EA SPORTS, the company’s next-generation athlete platform focused on shaping the future storytelling and participation across sports fandom.

EA Advertising has already started to partner with leading brands to deliver in-game experiences across the EA Portfolio, including:

Visa, a proud partner of EA SPORTS FC™ and EA SPORTS™ College Football, is partnering with EA SPORTS to deliver immersive, participatory experiences in and beyond the game, connecting its global network with a community of hundreds of millions of players.
Lowe’s, which integrated into EA SPORTS FC, Madden NFL, and College Football through Ultimate Team challenges and branded player content, driving more than 987,000 games played and more than 200,000 challenges completed.
Red Bull engaged EA SPORTS FC players through branded in-game objectives, team kits, and athlete ambassador collaborations, driving more than 128 million matches played, 1.2 million objectives completed, and strong in-game and social engagement.
Xfinity and Peacock, which activated through dynamic in-stadium and broadcast-style integrations, custom vanity kits, Ultimate Team Packs, and personalized rewards through the Rewards program, in EA SPORTS FC 26, bringing the energy of live sports media into gameplay.
Mountain Dew’s “DEW University,” a fully playable team experience in EA SPORTS College Football 26, complete with a custom stadium, mascot, and reward ecosystem.

EA Advertising works directly with brands and partners to create bespoke integrations across its portfolio, spanning in-game, community, and real-world experiences. This hands-on approach enables tailored executions built for each title and audience, with expanded buying capabilities planned as the platform continues to scale.

Command the Clone Wars’™ Most Cunning Operatives in Star Wars Zero Company™, Launching August 27

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 21:00:00 -0400

Watch the Official Gameplay Trailer Showcasing a New Take on Turn-Based Tactics Games; Pre-Orders Now Available for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today announced that Star Wars Zero Company™, a single-player turn-based tactics game, developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, will be available on PC, PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series X|S starting August 27, 2026. Pre-Orders are now available on all platforms.

Star Wars Zero Company Key Art

A new gameplay trailer delivers an action-packed look at the game’s gritty, cinematic take on turn-based tactics while previewing an original Star Wars™ story featuring new and returning Clone Wars characters.

Star Wars Zero Company’s visual storytelling and gameplay will immerse players in a tense, clandestine conflict taking place in the shadows of the Clone Wars. Players will step into the shoes of former Galactic Republic officer Hawks and current leader of Zero Company. Zero Company is an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy, including a Clone Trooper, a Mandalorian of the ancient Clan Verminoth, a Jedi Padawan and more. Together, Zero Company must hunt down and stop Kundri Fathom, leader of the Separatist-aligned cult, the Infinite Coil.

“Our team has poured everything we love about Star Wars into Zero Company,” said Greg Foertsch, CEO and Creative Director at Bit Reactor. “The bold characters, powerful storytelling, striking settings and the sense of heart beneath the battles in Star Wars has helped us create an experience that pushes the tactics genre forward by combining deep gameplay with cinematic elegance. We’ve worked hand-in-hand with Lucasfilm Games to create an authentic Star Wars story packed with unique new characters, robust character customization, a new ship, Separatist Droids and much more, all rooted in the conflict of The Clone Wars.”

“Star Wars Zero Company delivers an entirely new experience in the galaxy and for our fans,” said Douglas Reilly, VP and GM of Lucasfilm Games. “It pairs cinematic storytelling with strategic gameplay in a way that feels fresh for the franchise. Some of the most interesting stories come from new perspectives, and Zero Company explores the Clone Wars from deep within the shadows of the conflict, through a lens we haven’t seen before, while still feeling completely authentic to the world fans know.”

From Zero Company’s base of operations, The Den, players will recruit and progress skills of Operators, upgrade facilities, purchase new equipment and select their next mission from the holotable. On the battlefield, players will develop bonds between authored characters and player-created Operators, unlocking new support abilities, including cross-training benefits that improve their abilities and stats. Players will navigate an ever-changing galaxy map featuring more than 150 planets where each choice can change how their journey unfolds.

In Star Wars Zero Company customization is central to the experience. Hawks and recruited Operators can be created from eight iconic Star Wars species: Devaronian, Human, Neimoidian, Ovissian, Togruta, Twi’lek, Weequay and Zabrak. Voices, outfits and many other aspects of Hawks and an Operator's appearance can be customized along with specializations and talents over time. It’s up to players to unite their Operators and form the best squad for the mission at hand.

Players can pre-order* Star Wars Zero Company Standard Edition for $49.99 SRP on PC and $59.99 SRP on PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Deluxe Edition is available for $59.99 SRP on PC and $69.99 SRP on consoles and unlocks two additional unique cosmetic packs and five painted weapon themes inspired by the Clone Wars era. All pre-orders grant access to the Crystalline Astromech Cosmetic Pack, which includes an R3 droid, translucent “crystalline” astromech heads for the R4 and R5 droid variants, and the BR-1 droid, originating in Star Wars Zero Company. Deluxe Edition pre-orders include all pre-order bonus content in addition to the Deluxe Edition exclusive content.

Alongside the game’s launch, the soundtrack for Star Wars Zero Company, featuring an original score by GRAMMY® award-winning composer Gordy Haab, will be released August 27 via Walt Disney Records.

Caleb Williams Named EA SPORTS™ Madden NFL 27 Cover Athlete

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 08:00:00 -0400

Williams Is the First Chicago Bears Player To Appear On A Madden NFL Cover

Fans Can Expect Full Game Reveal on Thursday, June 4, and Worldwide Launch on Aug. 13

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- EA SPORTS™ announced today that Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams will grace the cover of EA SPORTS™ Madden NFL 27, making him the first player in Chicago Bears history to do so.

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams lands on the cover of EA SPORTS Madden NFL 27.

Williams’ record-setting season, playoff victory and NFL Moment of the Year — his walk-off, game-winning 46-yard touchdown pass in overtime against the Green Bay Packers — make him one of the most compelling quarterbacks to watch in 2026. Off the field, he’s known as one of the sport’s most distinctive cultural presences, styling his own gameday looks with unique nail art throughout the season. Williams appears on the Standard Edition cover showcasing his signature jump pass, while the Deluxe Edition cover features his iconic celebration that granted him the “Iceman” nickname and a custom nail set featuring the EA SPORTS logo among others.

“When I received the call from Madden, it was like my childhood dream was coming true. Being on the cover of Madden NFL 27 is a full circle moment,” Williams said. “I grew up playing Madden and imagining what it would be like to be part of the game. I know fans are going to love what’s new in this year’s game, and I’m looking forward to getting my rating up to a 99 by the end of the season.”

Williams enters this season with a 90 overall rating in the game after throwing for 3,942 yards and 27 touchdowns last season, setting the Chicago Bears' single-season franchise record for passing yards, and leading the team to their first division title since 2018 and their first playoff victory since 2010.

"Caleb Williams is what a true Face of the Franchise looks like — the culmination of many moments in the Chicago Bears' incredible history that has led them to their electric, generational quarterback," said Evan Dexter, VP of Franchise Strategy and Marketing. "Madden NFL 27 aims to put more of those critical moments and key management decisions, with meaningful consequences that echo across the NFL, in the hands of our players so that they can build a league that's truly their own. Just like Caleb, the future of football in Madden NFL 27 is thrilling and more dynamic than ever before. We can't wait for fans to see it on June 4."

New features coming to Madden NFL 27 will be revealed this Thursday, June 4, on the @EAMaddenNFL YouTube channel. Follow the Madden NFL 27 journey on the official website and social channels (Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube) for the latest updates.

EA Play members can run the league one decision at a time in EA SPORTS™ Madden NFL 27 with the EA Play* 10-hour Early Access trial, starting Aug. 6, 2026, while EA Play Pro members can play the EA Play Pro Edition starting Aug. 10, 2026.

EA SPORTS™ College Football 27 Reveals Cover Athletes Celebrating The Next Generation of Football Stars

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 11:00:00 -0400

Dante Moore, Malachi Toney and Kewan Lacy Appear on the College Football 27 Standard Edition, While Deluxe Edition Features Colin Simmons, Leonard Moore, Jayden Maiava and Coach Curt Cignetti

Fans Can Expect Full Game Reveal This Thursday and Worldwide Launch on July 9

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- EA SPORTS™ today revealed the covers of EA SPORTS™ College Football 27 ahead of the game’s full reveal this Thursday. Oregon quarterback Dante Moore, Miami wide receiver Malachi Toney, and Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy shine on the Standard Edition cover as a trio of electrifying playmakers who stood out in a competitive 2025-2026 college football season. The Deluxe Edition is joined by prominent defenders Texas linebacker Colin Simmons and Notre Dame cornerback Leonard Moore, alongside USC quarterback Jayden Maiava, national championship-winning coach Curt Cignetti, several beloved mascots and iconic gameday gear, celebrating the breadth of successful collegiate programs.

Standout athletes Kewan Lacy, Malachi Toney and Dante Moore on the cover of College Football 27.

"College Football 27 promises to be an incredible year, one in which we're able to start reflecting the modern era of college football more authentically and with more depth for our players than ever before," said Evan Dexter, VP of Franchise Strategy and Marketing. "Our cover athletes – Kewan Lacy, Malachi Toney, and Dante Moore – represent that modern era by transcending programs and drawing in generations of college football fans, regardless of their school pride. We built the game for those fans and we can't wait for them to see the full reveal of College Football 27 on June 4."

The three Standard Edition athletes delivered standout performances to earn them the coveted cover spot. Moore capped the season with over 3,500 yards and 30 touchdowns, leading the Ducks deep into the playoffs. Toney, who began his collegiate career at just 17 years old, shattered the Hurricanes’ all-time single-season receptions record with 109 catches for more than 1,200 yards and starred in the National Championship Game. Lacy was a force during his first season with the Rebels, rushing more than 1,500 yards and earning 24 touchdowns.

“Being on the cover of EA SPORTS College Football 27 is an absolute privilege after growing up a fan of the game,” said Moore. “Coach Lanning and The Duck were on last year's Deluxe Edition, and now to carry that legacy forward and represent Oregon myself makes me really proud.”

“Having this opportunity after only my freshman year means everything to me. I’m incredibly grateful for the support of the Miami community, and this honor of knowing EA believes in what I’m capable of deepens my drive to show up for the program and the fans who have believed in me from day one,” said Toney.

“I would play this game for hours with my family growing up, so now being on the cover of EA SPORTS College Football 27 representing Ole Miss feels surreal,” said Lacy. “It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

The Deluxe Edition cover celebrates some of the most notable programs in College Football today.

EA SPORTS FC™ and LALIGA Launch New York Community Pitch as Part of FC FUTURES Program, Designed by Local Artist BG183

Thu, 07 May 2026 10:30:00 -0400

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- EA SPORTS FC™ and LALIGA have unveiled a newly refurbished community football pitch in the South Bronx, New York, as part of FC FUTURES – EA SPORTS’ grassroots initiative to expand access to the game and connect football communities around the world.

EA SPORTS FC™ and LALIGA launch New York community pitch as part of FC FUTURES program

Marking the 10th pitch delivered through the program with LALIGA globally, the project brings together soccer, creativity and community to create a safe, inclusive space for young people and local families to learn through play. Developed in collaboration with local partners and featuring a custom design by Bronx artist BG183, the pitch is connected to P.S./M.S. 31 The William Lloyd Garrison School and has been delivered alongside love.fútbol and South Bronx United to support long-term impact in the community.

Located in the South Bronx, the pitch has been designed as a multi-use space that goes beyond the game, supporting school physical education and daily recess, alongside football programming, tournaments and wider community events. Developed with Urban Soccer Park, the small-sided format enables year-round use and flexible programming for players of all ages.

The pitch’s artistic identity has been created by Sotero Ortiz, known as BG183 — a pioneering graffiti artist born and raised in the South Bronx and a founding member of Tats Cru. His design draws on the four elements of hip-hop and everyday life in the borough, capturing the energy of street football and local culture, and creating a space that reflects the identity of the community it serves.

LALIGA Ambassador Patrick Kluivert joined the inauguration, celebrating the opening with local children and families. He commented: “Soccer has the power to connect people everywhere, and that is what makes initiatives like this collaboration with EA SPORTS FC FUTURES and LALIGA so special. Seeing a space like this open in the South Bronx, with so much personality and meaning for the local community, is truly inspiring. I hope every child who plays here feels that this pitch belongs to them — a place where they can dream big, enjoy the game and create unforgettable memories.”

Beyond the pitch itself, the project includes a long-term education and football program delivered with South Bronx United, using soccer as a platform for academic support, mentoring and leadership development. The space will support more than 500 local students through school use, alongside year-round programming and community events designed to create lasting impact.

James Salmon, Senior Director, Partnerships Marketing, EA SPORTS FC, said: “FC FUTURES is about connecting our platform with real world soccer to create opportunities for the next generation. While EA SPORTS FC lives in the game, our ambition goes beyond it - working with partners like LALIGA and local communities to create spaces where football can be played and experienced physically. Projects like this in the South Bronx show how football can bring people together and create lasting impact.

“Through FC FUTURES, EA SPORTS FC™ is helping to build a global platform that connects the digital and real-world game to expand access to football. This work developed in partnership with LALIGA now spans multiple regions across Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, alongside complementary programs including equipment donations and youth initiatives such as Next Gen Draft. As part of this, BG183’s distinctive artwork will also feature in-game through a newly released kit inspired by the South Bronx pitch, further connecting players around the world to the culture and creativity behind the project.”

Jorge de la Vega, LALIGA’s Executive Director of Business, said: “The FC FUTURES initiative reflects our belief that the future of soccer is built from the grassroots level up. This project in New York is especially meaningful because it brings together access to sport, long-term community impact and a strong local identity. Together with EA SPORTS FC and our community partners, we want this pitch to become a place where young people can play, grow and find new opportunities through football.”

The project reflects the ongoing commitment from EA SPORTS FC to growing the game globally, connecting digital and real-world football, and working with league partners like LALIGA to expand access, celebrate local culture and create new opportunities for communities to play and engage with the sport.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As a supplement to the Company’s financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company presents certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance, including non-GAAP operating margin and free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and differ from GAAP measures with the same names and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures exclude acquisition-related expenses, stock-based compensation, restructuring and related charges, and capital expenditures, as applicable in any given reporting period and our outlook. The Company may consider whether other significant items that arise in the future should be excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional useful information to better understand and evaluate the Company’s operating results and future prospects because they exclude certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core business, operating results, or future outlook. These non-GAAP financial measures, with further adjustments are used by management to understand ongoing financial and business performance.

The Company uses a tax rate of 19% internally to evaluate its operating performance and to forecast, plan, and analyze future periods. Accordingly, the Company applies the same tax rate to its management reporting financial results.

Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
