The next FIFA football simulation will be released on Netflix in time for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the summer next year. The new FIFA game will join recently released titles as part of a suite of games that Netflix subscribers can access on their TVs. "Plus, you can play solo or with friends online: All you need is Netflix and your phone", said Netflix. The game will be available on select TVs in certain countries, with plans to roll out further over time. No screenshots or video footage was published.

"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," said Alain Tascan, President of Games at Netflix.

This major collaboration is a key milestone in FIFA's commitment to innovation in the football gaming space, which aspires to reach billions of football fans of all ages everywhere in the world and will be redefining the pure notion of simulation games. Our reimagined game truly marks the beginning of a new era of digital football. It will be available for free to Netflix members and is a great historic step for FIFA."
