Details for the forthcoming eMLS 2024 season, which include players for 22 teams that reflect the league’s global expansion and a new competitive platform, were unveiled today by Major League Soccer (MLS) and EA SPORTS FC Pro.
Gustavo Nascimento will play for Charlotte FC in the upcoming season, the Club can confirm. Gustavo has demonstrated constant excellence in North America. He placed fourth in the 2023 FGS Qualifier #4 and finished in the top six in both the North American FC Pro Open and North American Global Series.
In 2024, eMLS will usher in a new age of football esports with FC Pro, and EA SPORTS FCTM 24 will make its debut as the official platform for all eMLS matches. Two major League Series events in February and March will round off the competitive schedule, which will finish on March 10 in Austin during South by Southwest (SXSW) with the eMLS Cup.
Each MLS club or player’s Twitch and YouTube channel will air the remote qualifications and group stages of each League Series, and viewers may follow the bracket for each event on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/mls) and YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/mls). The top 12 players still playing for each league broadcast, along with expanded fan coverage, will be featured. Direct invites to the FC Pro World Championship are granted to the top two players in the eMLS Cup.
