EA appreciates the passion that players have for our games, and we're always excited to see the creativity that comes from our community. EA does not object to fair uses of video footage or screenshots on video sharing sites, including YouTube channels that are commercialized, as long as the footage is a version of the game that we have released to the public.

We do reserve the right to address any inappropriate use of EA content. Additionally, because many EA games include content that is licensed from a third-party company or may otherwise have usage restrictions, paired with the large number of video-related questions we get from the community, we aren’t able to grant specific approvals or respond to all follow-up inquiries.

If you are looking for approval to use assets from an EA game for marketing materials, film or television program, educational materials, or other purposes, you can submit a request to permissionrequests@ea.com.

   • Give as much information as possible to help expedite your request. You can attach files to your email, including film or television scripts, images of how you intend to use the EA Materials with accompanying captions or text, and a description and duration of any audio elements.
