"The new title, part of Netflix's growing lineup of TV games, will have solo and online play and will be controllable from your phone. It will be developed and published by Delphi Interactive. "The FIFA World Cup is going to be the cultural event of 2026, and now fans will be able to celebrate their fandom by bringing the game right into their living rooms," Netflix games president Alain Tascan says in a statement."
""We want to bring football back to its roots with something everyone can play with just the touch of a button." (Emphasis Tascan's.) FIFA used to be the brand attached to EA's soccer games, but EA dropped it for the 2023 version of the series. In addition to this new Netflix title, FIFA is working on a game called FIFA Heroes, which ESPN says is "a far more arcadey experience than EA's flagship series," that's set to launch in 2026."
A reimagined FIFA football simulation will launch exclusively on Netflix Games to coincide with the FIFA World Cup 2026. The title will offer both solo and online play and will be controllable from mobile phones. Delphi Interactive will develop and publish the game as part of Netflix's expanding TV games lineup. The release aims to provide accessible, simple controls to bring football into living rooms. EA ceased using the FIFA brand after the 2023 edition, and FIFA is also developing an arcade-style title called FIFA Heroes, scheduled to launch in 2026.
