Consumers hoping the EA Sports College Football game will come out on time — in the summer of 2024 — just got great news.
On Friday, a federal judge denied The Brandr Group’s request for a temporary restraining order against EA, which would have paved the way for the court to prohibit EA from doing business with schools and athletes at issue in the lawsuit. It was the most likely way for the lawsuit to hold up the game’s summer 2024 release.
Front Office Sports broke the news of the lawsuit last week.
The Brandr Group, which offers group licensing services to schools and athletes who choose to sign with them, claimed that EA had circumvented its rights to negotiate the group licensing deal on athletes’ behalf.
