Luol Deng, raised in the UK from 1993, will front the game's packaging after playing for the NBA's Chicago Bulls for three years.
"I’m proud to be the first British athlete chosen to appear on the NBA Live cover in the UK," said Luol Deng.
"It’s an honour to be recognised by EA Sports as a UK ambassador for NBA Live 09 and I’m looking forward to playing for the Great Britain national team."
The signing of a British basketball player highlights "the continued growth of the NBA in Europe", according to EA Sports.
NBA Live 09, which promises a new NBA Academy training camp, will be released on October 14 for Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation2 and Portable PlayStation.
