🎮Is EA FC being sidelined? FIFA and Netflix unveil a new video game | OneFootball

In an unprecedented move for the entertainment and sports industry, FIFA announced that its next football simulation game will be released exclusively through Netflix Games. Developed by Delphi Interactive, this title aims to reinvent the franchise ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026™.

The approach moves away from the complexity of previous simulators to focus on accessibility. "We want to bring football back to its roots with something everyone can play with just the press of a button," said Alain Tascan, Head of Games at Netflix.

A new era

FIFA President Gianni Infantino described this collaboration as a "key milestone" in the organization’s technological innovation. The game will be available for free to Netflix subscribers and can be played on both mobile devices and televisions, using a smartphone as a remote control.

According to Infantino, this launch marks the beginning of a new era that aims to reach billions of fans of all ages, removing the traditional entry barriers of video game consoles.

Simplicity and global reach

Casper Daugaard, CEO of Delphi Interactive, explained that their mission is to make FIFA the most fun and global game ever created. The design is intended to be "quick to learn and exciting to master," allowing for solo matches or instant online play with friends.

With this partnership, FIFA is not only seeking a successor to its former association with EA Sports, but is also positioning itself at the heart of streaming just in time for the biggest cultural event of 2026.
