New FIFA Game is coming: Release date revealed!

FIFA is officially stepping into a new era of digital football, and this time the change goes far beyond a standard annual update. A newly reimagined FIFA football simulation is on the way, developed by Delphi Interactive and launching exclusively on Netflix Games.

Instead of following the traditional console-first model, FIFA is shifting its focus toward accessibility and reach. The upcoming title is scheduled to release in summer 2026, deliberately timed to build momentum ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The game will be available at no additional cost for Netflix subscribers, positioning it as one of FIFA’s most ambitious distribution moves to date.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino described the partnership with Netflix Games and Delphi Interactive as a major milestone for the organization. He emphasized that the collaboration reflects FIFA’s commitment to innovation in football games, with the goal of reaching billions of fans of all ages around the world. According to Infantino, the project aims to redefine the concept of football simulation and marks the beginning of a new chapter for digital football.

While detailed gameplay information has not yet been revealed, the project is being framed as a fresh take on football simulation, designed for modern play habits and a global audience. The Netflix Games exclusivity suggests a strong mobile focus and frictionless access, rather than a traditional premium release structure.

With the 2026 World Cup approaching, FIFA appears to be laying the groundwork early, using one of the world’s largest streaming platforms to reintroduce its vision for football games. More details are expected as the summer 2026 release window draws closer.
