FIFA Kicks Off Again in 2026—Now Streaming Exclusively on Netflix!
The Fifa video game series is set to make a comeback in 2026, but this time it will be available exclusively on Netflix. This marks a major change for the franchise, which was previously developed by Electronic Arts EA Sports for three decades. The split between Fifa and EA happened because of disagreements over licensing costs, leading EA to create its own football game called EA Sports FC. Now, Netflix has secured the rights to the new Fifa game, and it will be developed by Delphi Interactive, a studio that has not yet released any games. The new Fifa game is expected to launch before the 2026 World Cup, and Netflix subscribers will be able to play it for free on their mobile devices and select TVs using their phones as controllers.
EA Sports first released a Fifa game in 1993, and the series quickly became one of the most successful sports video games in history, with an estimated 150 million players worldwide. Even after EA rebranded the game as EA Sports FC, it continued to attract a large fan base. The announcement of Fifa's return has generated excitement, especially since it will be available to Netflix members at no extra cost. Fifa president Gianni Infantino expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership with Netflix, calling it the beginning of a new era for digital football.
Delphi Interactive, the studio behind the new Fifa game, is also working on a James Bond game called 007: First Light in collaboration with IO Interactive. Casper Daugaard, the head of Delphi Interactive, said that as lifelong Fifa fans, the team wants to create the most enjoyable and accessible football game ever. The reaction from fans has been mixed, with some questioning whether focusing on mobile devices is the right move for the franchise. Some believe Fifa should have stayed with EA, while others are curious to see what the new game will offer. As the release date approaches, many are eager to see how Fifa's partnership with Netflix will shape the future of football video games.
