PES 2013 teams and leagues

A licensed league is why a patch exists. If the disc already has the badges, a roster pack is only updating transfers. If the disc uses invented names, the pack is selling you the real ones. This page separates those cases.

Read the licence column before you trust a thumbnail. Ligue 1, Eredivisie and Liga BBVA are described as fully licensed, with Spanish first-division grounds arriving through DLC. The Premier League is the awkward one: Manchester United is the licensed club, and the rest use invented names such as Man Blue, London FC and North East London. Serie A clubs are described as licensed while the league name and logo are not. Liga Zon Sagres licenses Benfica, Braga, Porto and Sporting, and fictionalises the rest.

Brasileirão does not get a single cell. Wikipedia says all 20 clubs are included. A community licence page says the clubs are licensed and the league brand is fictional. PESPatchs says only nine clubs are licensed. A 2026 Brazilian install guide says the retail game shipped without those licences and that patches add the kits. All four stay visible on the PS2 page as well. I will not average “20” and “9” into “about 15”.

Twelve grounds were captured with a club or a city: Camp Nou, the Bernabéu, Vicente Calderón, Mestalla, Old Trafford, Wembley, San Siro, Juventus Stadium, Allianz Arena, Stade de France, Morumbi, Vila Belmiro. Longer lists exist. I am not padding this table with stadiums whose only evidence is “football has that ground”. Club counts for Ligue 1 and Eredivisie are standard league sizes and were not on the licence page I read, so I do not print 20 and 18 as if PES 2013 had certified them.

Named grounds come from the licence notes. A patch can add more. It can also rename a club the disc left fictional.

Questions

Is the Premier League in PES 2013?

Manchester United is the licensed club in the notes. Other Premier League clubs use fictional names on the disc.

Are all Brazilian clubs licensed?

Sources disagree. See the four claims. Do not treat any one of them as settled.
