As the world gathers for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, celebrate the opening whistle with the FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition game, available exclusively on Netflix Games starting June 11.
In this streamlined football simulation game, you can feel the thrill of the pitch instantly - all you need is Netflix and your phone - and it's included in your membership. Experience the pride of playing for your country, step into real-life stadiums and pull off incredible plays with the world's best athletes without ever leaving Netflix.
FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition is a new direction for FIFA football games that celebrates the emotion and joy of the sport. It's fast, fluid and fun with friends (up to four players) - no matter how familiar you are with video games or football.
In FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition , your phone is the controller and your TV is the stadium. Just launch the game on your TV, scan the QR code with your phone, and you'll be swiping to shoot and pass in seconds. Even someone who's never touched a video game can feel the rush of scoring the match-winning goal.
Launching alongside the kickoff of the historic FIFA Men's World Cup on June 11, you'll be able to play as any of the 48 teams in the tournament, travel to the 16 real-world stadiums, and take control of any of the 1248 players in the Cup. So as the drama of the sport plays out, you can share every goal, save and celebration right on the couch with your friends and family.
The Launch Edition represents our 'Kickoff' - a streamlined, high-energy game that will evolve over time but gives the immediate rush of playing along during this historic World Cup event.
Scroll to the 'Games' tab on your TV to find FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition and the rest of the games catalog. A limited test in Brazil begins today.
