June 4, 2026

As the summer of international football begins, EA SPORTS FC™ brings fans closer to the drama, intensity, and passion of global competition with The World's Game Update, available now at no additional cost in EA SPORTS FC™ 26 and EA SPORTS FC™ Mobile. History is playable in EA SPORTS FC™, as fans can play, celebrate, and engage with football culture across multiple modes in an experience inspired by the global game.

With 53 fully licensed national teams, including 41 qualified nations such as England, Germany, Mexico, Canada, USA, Uruguay, Korea Republic, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and more, The World's Game gives fans the opportunity to lead their nation to glory, create their own football lore, and rewrite history. Newly announced licensing partnerships with Brazil, Turkey, Spain, and Portugal further enhance in-game authenticity, allowing players to represent some of the world's most iconic footballing nations with official kits, crests, and player likenesses.

"I'm excited for fans to be able to cheer us on and stay connected to the team through The World's Game," said England Midfielder and FC 26 Cover Star Jude Bellingham.

"I know the game holds a special place in everyone's heart during these moments, and that fans all over the globe and back home will be playing along throughout the tournament. I'm really grateful for their support as we compete this summer."

"Representing Brazil on the global stage is something that I've dreamed of since I was a kid. To wear the national team shirt and see myself in FC 26 and FC Mobile is incredible," said Brazil forward Endrick. "It's a special opportunity for me and for fans worldwide to connect with their national teams in EA SPORTS FC, and I hope they enjoy The World's Game as much as I enjoy playing for Brazil."

The EA SPORTS FC 26 update introduces a new 48-team standalone tournament mode that follows the journey from the Group Stage through the Knockout Rounds, culminating in the final. One-off international matchups will also be playable in Kick Off, allowing players to choose from 60 nations and create their own international football stories.
