EA Sports has officially confirmed the return of the eLibertadores tournament for its 2024 edition.
This esports event is the virtual counterpart of the prestigious South American football competition, where the best FC pro players of the continent will compete for “la Gloria Eterna” in FC 24.
eLibertadores 2024 Registrations Open

Brazil to Host eLibertadores 2024
Brazil, the nation that has produced the last three eLibertadores champions, is set to be the host country for the upcoming tournament, part of the EA FC Pro competitive circuit. While the host city is still under deliberation, with Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo as strong candidates, the exact month of the event in 2024 remains unannounced.
Based on the previous editions, we can expect the final phase of the competition to kick off in February 2024.
Brazilian Dominance
Brazilian players have shown remarkable success in past tournaments, with victories by Pedro Resende in 2021, Paulo Henrique “PHzin” in 2022, and Gabriel “Baxada” most recently.
EA Sports, which has separated from the FIFA brand, has introduced EA Sports FC, continuing the tradition with full licensing rights to club crests, kits, and the clubs of CONMEBOL competitions following a renewal of their agreement in June. Unfortunately, just like in previous years, all Brazilian clubs feature generic rosters in-game due to licensing issues with the Brazilian Football Confederation.
