EA Takes On Arena Football

Financial Spread Trading Recently, Electronic Arts, announced an exclusive agreement with the National Football League. Today, the company announced another exclusive agreement with a football league: the Arena Football League (or AFL for short).

As a result of the deal, Electronic Arts will be publishing an AFL videogame on top for the start of the 2006 AFL season. While exact terms of the deal were not disclosed, it was revealed that EA will be able to share in the proceeds from future AFL expansion teams. In addition, EA will be working on media and retail marketing for the AFL beginning with the 2005 season along with other AFL partners like ADT, Spalding, Nike, NBC, and the United States Army.

"Once again, we are partnering with an industry leader who believes in the AFL philosophy and its growth potential. To the extent that EA helps grow the AFL, they participate in that growth through the increased value of future expansion teams. EA is the videogame industry's gold standard. Arguably, nothing is more important to reach the younger male demographic that we are so strong in than video games. For our core fan, this is akin to a network-television agreement," said AFL Commissioner David Baker.

"We believe that the business model the AFL has created will provide for a new football experience for videogame fans, and provide EA with an incentive to partner with the AFL to expand the league. The AFL is a unique brand of football and we intend to deliver a unique football gaming experience from any the industry has seen before. We're pleased to be working with the league during this exciting, growth-period for the AFL," said Electronic Arts Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Larry Probst.
