The World’s Game update will arrive on June 4, 2026

The countdown for the EA FC 26 World Cup mode has started as EA Sports FC has officially revealed that the World’s Game update will arrive on June 4, 2026.

Although this mode does not feature an officially licensed FIFA World Cup mode, it still introduces all 48 qualified national teams along with several new additions.

However, not every nation included in this update has full licensing rights. This leads to a mix of officially licensed squads, partially licensed teams, and completely unlicensed nations.

Conclusion

Since FIFA and EA have ended their long-term partnership after the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, EA Sports FC no longer holds the official World Cup license.

Due to this, EA FC 26 cannot name this tournament as the FIFA World Cup. Despite that, fans will experience the same international football experience in this new game mode.
