EA is bringing a social app to its sports games

EA’s sports games are huge franchises, and the company will soon launch a mobile app to bring even more EA Sports to your life. As part of today’s investor presentation, the company officially announced the EA Sports app, which will launch on iOS and Android in Spain this fall.

In a press release, EA says the app will be a “community-driven app” with features like a discovery feed to stay up to date with news and highlights from your favorite teams, interactive challenges to play during and after live matches, and social “arenas.” With the test launch in Spain, the app will have “a combination of sports content, live sports data, social news, interactivity, challenges, and more focused on Global Football in collaboration with long-time partner LaLiga,” EA says.

EA also says it plans to add more sports to the app in the future. That’s not surprising — after all, it’s called the EA Sports app — franchises like Crazy NFL Or EA Sports College Football look like candidates who will also be included in the project at some point.

EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently said that sports would be one of the areas the company would be “doubling down on,” so this new app clearly fits in with that effort.
