EA FC and Netflix to feature 2026 World Cup gaming options

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be accessible through two primary video game platforms. EA FC, previously known as FIFA, includes a 'World Cup' mode featuring 53 nations, while Netflix is set to release the FIFA World Cup -- Launch Edition, playable on TV and computers using smartphones. This Launch Edition promises arcade-style gameplay with all 48 teams and multiple local players, but offers a different experience than traditional simulation games. Fans of Konami's eFootball series can also engage with a mode simulating the World Cup, although some licensing limitations apply. This marks the third consecutive World Cup without a dedicated high-end game title.
