When one talks about the biggest sports franchises in the gaming industry, it's only a matter of time before FIFA comes into the picture. This long-running soccer video game series has been a longtime member of the industry, churning out yearly releases and gathering a loyal fanbase that can't wait to sink its teeth into the latest FIFA title.
While the base version of the latest game in the series — FIFA 21 — might be serviceable for most people, there are still some PC players who would want to make their experience all the more enjoyable by downloading mods for the title that can augment their experience with the game in a number of ways. Keeping this in mind, here are ten of the best mods for FIFA 21 that can help accomplish the same.
Updated September 22, 2021 by Ritwik Mitra: With the release of FIFA 22 right around the corner, there's no better time to polish one's skills in FIFA 21 t o absolutely school the opposition in the next game in the series.

Thankfully, with this mod, players can add some welcome changes to FIFA 21 to make the game more interesting to play.
15 FIFA 21 Extra National Teams Patch
There's a wealth of national teams to choose from if gamers wish to play through some international matches in FIFA 21. However, the selection of these teams — impressive as they may be — may still be somewhat lacking for some fans.
This is where the FIFA 21 Extra National Teams patch comes into the picture. The name of this mod should be pretty self-explanatory: it adds a bunch of additional national teams into the game. This increases the diversity of the selection that players can enjoy in international exhibitions, tournaments, and everything else along the same lines.
14 FIFA 21 UEL Mod
The FIFA series might boast some impressive licenses that allow sports fans to play out the most realistic football simulations possible. However, there are still quite a few notable licenses that are missing from these titles.
The FIFA 21 UEL mod is perfect for fans who might be irritated by these absences. UEL stands for Unlocks, Expansions, and Licensing. Along with restoring the licenses, this mod also unlocks new leagues that were absent from the base game, while also expanding on other leagues to allow for more divisions.
