Electronic Arts announced generational talents Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala as the cover athletes for EA Sports FC 26 and EA Sports FC Mobile, while also revealing a first look at EA Sports FC 26 gameplay.
Bellingham and Musiala join Zlatan Ibrahimović, who was unveiled as the cover star for EA Sports FC 26 Ultimate Edition earlier this week, to usher in a new chapter for EA Sports FC that’s powered by FC community feedback. Bellingham returns to the cover of EA Sports FC, following his debut last year, and is joined by former youth teammate Musiala, who stars as the first FC Bayern Munich player to ever feature on a global EA Sports FC cover.
Electronic Arts unveiled the soundtrack for EA Sports FC 26, continuing the franchise’s 20+ year legacy of influencing the global music landscape.
With a tradition of spotlighting future chart-toppers and cultural icons, this year's soundtrack is packed with 109 tracks representing 30+ nations from both world-renowned and rising artists, including Italian international Moise Kean, known onstage as KMB, who becomes the first professional footballer to be featured on a FC soundtrack; all of which will set the tone for EA Sports FC 26.
“For more than two decades, EA Sports has shaped global culture by introducing millions of players to new music, artists, and genres,” said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive and President of Music for Electronic Arts. “FC 26 is one of the most diverse and bold soundtracks yet – echoing the voice of the FC community through song and culture.”
This year’s groundbreaking lineup features tracks from two-time Grammy winner Fred again.., who will be making an FC Soundtrack return alongside Billboard Women In Music Producer of the Year PinkPantheress; and a never-before-heard song from global superstar and part club owner of Ipswich Town Ed Sheeran. The soundtrack also highlights Brazilian rising star Ebony with her bold style and powerful lyrics, experimental Afrobeats artist Obongjayar; Grammy nominated trio HAIM; British rock pioneers The Cure; and many more.
- Moise Kean (KMB) shared: “Football and music are both passions that unite people across the world, no matter their differences. To now be a part of FC 26, not just as a player but as an artist myself, is a dream come true.”
- PinkPantheress notes: “Having ‘Girl Like Me’ on the FC 26 soundtrack is honestly a bit mad. I’ve always thought it’s sweet how football and music can bring people together without even trying. I just like making songs that make you feel something, so hopefully when they queue a tune of mine in the game, they catch a vibe and carry it with them. Maybe even help them bag a goal or two, who knows!”
- Ebony & AG Beatz said: “Being included in the FC 26 soundtrack is truly special for us. Football and music connect people all over the world, and knowing that our track will be heard by players everywhere – from Brazil to Portugal and beyond – is something unforgettable.”
Alongside 27 previously unreleased tracks, the FC 26 Soundtrack also features highly anticipated tracks from BRIT-nominated singer-songwriter Joy Crookes – who is celebrated for her soulful blend of R&B, jazz, and South Asian influences – and Alewya, the London-based artist renowned for fusing electronic, Afrobeat, and alternative sounds.
Through the FC 26 Soundtrack, EA Sports FC continues to build on its reputation as a cultural tastemaker. Previous soundtracks have featured upcoming talent who have gone on to be household names including the likes of Glass Animals, John Newman, Lola Young, Nia Archives, Madeon and Alex Spencer. These artists have created moments that transcend beyond the pitch and celebrate culture, artistry, and the power of music to bring people together.
