For many people, FIFA video games were a huge part of growing up. However, after a disagreement over licensing rights with EA, the game was rebranded as EA Sports FC in 2023, and the FIFA name disappeared from gaming.
Despite speculation dying down, rumors about FIFA returning to the video game market never completely went away, and it now appears those rumors were true – they’re back surprisingly quickly.
Netflix and FIFA are teaming up to create a brand new football game that will be available only on Netflix Games, according to a recent announcement from Netflix.
Delphi Interactive created the game, and it will be playable on mobile devices for all Netflix subscribers.
According to Netflix games head Alain Tascan, the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be a major cultural moment, and Netflix is letting fans experience the excitement at home through its games.
We’re aiming to make football accessible to everyone again, offering a simple way to play with just one tap.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino expressed his enthusiasm for a new partnership between FIFA, Netflix Games, and Delphi Interactive, announced in anticipation of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
As a huge football fan, I’m really excited about this new partnership! It feels like FIFA is truly stepping up its game when it comes to football gaming, and they’re aiming to connect with fans all over the world, no matter their age. Honestly, it sounds like they’re not just making a game, but completely reimagining what football simulation can be.
This updated game represents a fresh start for digital football experiences. It will be included as part of a Netflix membership at no extra cost, and it’s a significant milestone for FIFA.
Delphi Interactive’s CEO, Casper Daugaard, says their upcoming football game will be incredibly fun, easy to pick up, and appeal to players worldwide, but details about the game itself are still unknown.
Gamers who were hoping the new FIFA game would compete with EA Sports FC will likely be surprised to learn it seems designed to rival EA Sports FC Mobile instead – meaning it’s primarily a mobile game.
Honestly, I’m still not sure if this is the big FIFA comeback we’ve all been hearing about, but I’m really hoping there’s something even better in the works. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for something truly amazing!
