FIFA Game Drops on Netflix: Play World Cup!

FIFA is set to release a new video game, FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition, on Netflix Games this coming June 11, 2026. This launch is strategically timed to coincide with the commencement of the 2026 World Cup. The game will be accessible exclusively to Netflix subscribers, representing a significant digital engagement strategy for the governing body.

Developed in partnership with Netflix Games and Delphi Interactive, the game aims to be an accessible football simulation. It will feature all 48 competing World Cup teams and 16 tournament stadiums, with over 1,200 players available. Notably, players can use their smartphones as controllers, connecting to a television by scanning a QR code, and up to four users can play simultaneously.

This release marks a shift in FIFA's gaming strategy following its partnership with EA Sports. FIFA is now embracing a multi-partner ecosystem to expand its reach across various platforms and audiences. The described game is considered the initial phase of a larger, long-term gaming project, with plans for additional features and broader platform support in the future. The 2026 World Cup itself will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, beginning on June 11.
