If you like playing casual soccer games with friends, you’ll be happy to hear that a new sports game is coming out soon!
Netflix and FIFA surprised everyone this Wednesday by announcing they’re teaming up to make a new show or movie based on the 2026 World Cup.
A New Football Simulator for Everyone

The new game will be a football simulator created by Delphi Interactive, the studio currently working with IO Interactive on the upcoming James Bond game, 007: First Light.
Although the project doesn’t have a name yet, it’s planned to launch in the third quarter of 2026. The aim is to let Netflix subscribers fully enjoy the excitement of the tournament with a game that’s easy to pick up, challenging to perfect, and accessible to everyone.
The game will offer both solo and online multiplayer options. You can play simply by having a Netflix subscription and using a smartphone or a Smart TV. Support for TVs will be available in select areas.
The gaming community was surprised by the recent announcement, particularly when FIFA President Gianni Infantino declared it the start of a new chapter for the sport. He explained that their updated game represents a significant change in how FIFA approaches digital football, signaling a new strategic direction.
The game’s release timing, coinciding with the next World Cup, is intentional. The developers hope to use the worldwide enthusiasm for the event to attract a large number of online players.
I’m so excited for this new football game! It’s being made by Delphi Interactive, and from what I’ve heard, it’s going to be a really realistic simulator.
As a gamer, I’m super hyped for the 2026 World Cup! Netflix just announced they’re letting fans really get into the spirit by bringing the game home with a new game. Apparently, they want to make football accessible to everyone, and get back to what makes the sport great – just playing the game. Alain Tascan, who heads up gaming at Netflix, said it’s going to be a huge cultural moment, and I totally agree!
It’s worth understanding that this game isn’t a typical FIFA game like you might expect.
This project is FIFA’s first official video game release since ending its long partnership with Electronic Arts, signaling a new path for the organization. After many years of featuring FIFA’s name, Electronic Arts has rebranded its popular football series as EA Sports FC.
