As the launch of EA FC 26 approaches, fans are eager to know which Italian Serie A clubs will feature authentically in the game and which will unfortunately be generic.
While Serie A Enilive remains fully licensed—ensuring official league branding, trophy visuals, match balls, and broadcast packages thanks to EA’s multi-year deal with Lega Serie A—individual club agreements are separate.
That means some teams will be fully authentically, while others appear generically and don’t forget to read our previous article about The Juventus FC Situation in the EA FC 26.
Today, we dive into the confirmed status of AC Milan and Inter Milan, exploring what this means for your Career Mode, Ultimate Team, and overall immersion.

AC Milan: Staying Generic as Milano FC
AC Milan has an exclusive partnership with Konami’s eFootball since July 2022. As a result, in EA FC 25 they appeared as “Milano FC” with a custom badge, generic kits, and a generic stadium.
Their last fully licensed appearance was in EA FC 24, featuring the official brand-name, crest, authentic kits, and their home ground, “San Siro”.
Confirmed for EA FC 26: AC Milan will remain unlicensed again, appearing as Milano FC. The iconic San Siro won’t be present under its real name or visuals for a second consecutive release.
New Face Scan: Also, we won’t see new face scans for AC Milan players, but we can expect some new custom real faces for Tijjani Reijnders in the game and others.
Inter Milan: Staying Generic as Lombardia FC
Similarly, Inter Milan signed an exclusive deal with Konami at the same time, so in EA FC 25 they appear as “Lombardia FC” with custom badge and generic assets.
Their last authentic inclusion was in EA FC 24 with official official brand-name, crest, authentic kits, and their home ground, “Stadio Giuseppe Meazza”.
Confirmed for EA FC 26: Inter Milan will stay unlicensed, again under the name Lombardia FC. The legendary Stadio Giuseppe Meazza won’t appear authentically in EA FC 26.
New Face Scan: Also, we won’t see new face scans for Inter Milan players in EA FC 26, but we can expect some new custom real faces for Carlos Augusto and others.
Final Whistle
EA FC 26 promises an authentic Serie A Enilive experience—official league branding and atmosphere—while AC Milan and Inter Milan remain unlicensed as Milano FC and Lombardia FC, respectively.
Though losing real kits and stadiums feels disappointing, it also opens creative Career Mode narratives.
Embrace the generic challenge, leverage Serie A’s authentic elements, and explore customization options to stay immersed.

FAQ
Will all Serie A clubs be fully licensed in EA FC 26?
No. While Serie A Enilive (league branding, trophy, broadcast packages) is fully licensed, individual clubs need separate deals. Some will be authentic, others generic.
Why are AC Milan and Inter Milan unlicensed in EA FC 26?
Both clubs hold exclusive partnerships with another game (eFootball), so in EA FC 26 they appear as “Milano FC” and “Lombardia FC” with generic kits, badges, and stadiums.
How can I stay immersed despite generic club identities?
Embrace custom narratives (e.g., rebuilding Milano FC), use Serie A’s authentic league atmosphere, apply community-made kits/faces on PC, and focus on player attributes over branding.
