DOCS / GAMES / EA SPORTS FC

EA Sports FC coverage. Coming soon.

EA Sports FC is seeded at /v1/games/fc with status: coming_soon. Fixtures, results and brackets flip on when the game goes live — eChampions League, FC Pro Open and Masters, ePremier League, eLigue 1, Virtual Bundesliga, eSerie A, LALIGA FC Pro and eDivisie all land under the same game=fc filter.

Coming-soon games still return a real catalogue row at /v1/games/fc; the status field is the source of truth for what is live. Fixture and match endpoints return 200 + an empty data array with a meta.note until the cutover.

Standard head-to-head match shape

FC esports is competitive head-to-head FIFA — two human players representing real-world clubs play a single match with a per-side goal count. No battle-royale schema repurposing required; the existing matches / match_participants shape fits without modification.

matches.format            = "head_to_head" (or null — same as cs2/lol/dota2/valorant)
matches.score             = goal count per side
matches.forfeit           = false

GET /v1/matches/:id

One match

Canonical record — the two human players, the real-world clubs they represent, broadcast, scheduled time, final goal-count.

GET /v1/teams/:slug

Real-world club page

Real-world clubs the players represent (Real Madrid, Bayern, Manchester City, ...). Player rosters carry the human FC esports competitors.

Capability flags

FC will launch with fixtures, results and brackets. match_stats (per-match possession, shots, xG) is coming soon. Asking for a capability that isn’t live yet returns 200 with meta.note rather than 402, so the omission is visible without becoming a billing error.

Catalogue

The FC catalogue indexes the in-game objects referenced in fixtures and match prose:

clubs — real-world clubs the players represent
players — real-world players whose likeness is on the in-game cards
formations — tactical layouts (4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2-flat, …)

The trading-card universe (FUT cards) is not included — it’s enormous, EA-controlled, and not esports-specific. If you need FUT-card depth, raise it on [email protected].

Watch this space

/v1/games is the canonical view — read it once at startup (or poll it) to discover when FC flips to live.
