It's been said that nothing is permanent in this world except for three things: death, taxes, and change.

So, while EA Sports and FIFA have been synonymous with each other, at least as far as soccer sports simulations go, it appears that the nearly-30-year partnership will change soon.

Journalist and industry insider Jeff Grubb claimed on his premium show, Grubbsnax, that Electronic Arts will change the name of its soccer franchise soon to "EA Sports Football Club, EA Sports FC." This would line up with the recent rumors about EA's ongoing struggle against FIFA that saw the publisher's CEO, Andrew Wilson, claim that the brand is holding the best-selling sports sim franchise back.

However, if the name change is going to happen, it might not be until next year as EA is reportedly planning to release FIFA 23 later this year.
