Electronic Arts will publish UEFA Champions League 2006-2007, based on Europe’s most prestigious club soccer tournament, in March. The real tournament will be held in May.

The Xbox 360 version introduces a new way to play by introducing a unique and collectable virtual card system in the Ultimate Team mode that enables players to develop their teams. This complements the traditional way of playing as a favourite club team from qualification through to a virtual reproduction of the championship final. UEFA Champions League also features new game modes.

Using collectable cards in Ultimate Team Mode, players can hand-pick everything from team and staff members to strategy and stadium. UEFA Champions League 2006-2007 on the Xbox 360 system features a game engine with a more fluid player movement system that makes it easier for players to perform moves with a ball that has its own independent physics. The game also supports up to eight-way multiplayer matches. "Now you can build your dream team by going online to collect or trade virtual player, staff and gameplay cards; effectively organize your squad to foster team chemistry; accumulate Staff, Training, Morale, Fitness and Healing cards to transform your squad into a European super power online. Collect dominant Gameplay cards, and then use them at key moments during a match to gain the tactical advantage over your opponent." Gameplay cards can be activated during a contest to boost the abilities of players and team, putting managerial ability and playing skills to the test by trading or selling unwanted cards or trawling the market online for the ones they need to create a title-winning team.

Gamers can play UEFA Champions League 2006-2007 the traditional way on all available platforms as their favourite club teams from qualification right through to a virtual reproduction of the UEFA Championship League Final. The new UEFA Champions League Challenge will test even the most hardcore football fan by recreating classic moments in UEFA Champions League history using modern teams. UEFA Champions League 2006-2007 is developed by EA Canada in Vancouver, BC and is scheduled to ship on the PlayStation 2 and PSP.
