The Netflix FIFA Game — Everything We Know

What is the Netflix FIFA game?

It's a brand-new football video game that carries the FIFA name, made for Netflix by the studio Delphi Interactive. It's a separate thing from EA's series — after FIFA and EA ended their partnership, EA's football games became EA Sports FC, and FIFA licensed its name to other partners. This is the first FIFA-branded football title to come out of that. (More on that split: FIFA vs EA Sports FC.)

Release date

Reporting around the announcement points to a launch in summer 2026, timed to land alongside the FIFA World Cup. A precise release date hasn't been officially announced yet. We'll update this section the moment a firm date is confirmed.

Platforms & how you'll play

The game is a Netflix Games title — you play it through Netflix rather than buying it on a console store, with a living-room / TV experience alongside Netflix's existing mobile games. The exact list of supported devices may grow before launch. (Background on the service: what is Netflix Games?)

What you'll actually control it with hasn't been confirmed. Netflix's TV games so far have used your phone as the controller — the Netflix app turns the handset into a gamepad. For a title of this profile, though, Netflix may be making a more serious push into streaming / cloud gaming — going up against the likes of NVIDIA GeForce Now, Amazon Luna and Xbox Cloud Gaming — and it's not out of the question that it could pair the launch with a dedicated controller. Treat all of that as speculation until Netflix says otherwise.

Who's making it — Delphi Interactive

Delphi Interactive is developing and publishing the game for Netflix under licence from FIFA. It's a young studio, and this is its highest-profile project to date. See the coverage below for more on the team and how the deal came together.

What about gameplay, modes and price?

Concrete gameplay details — modes, teams and leagues, online features, monetisation — are still thin. The expectation is that the game will be included with a Netflix subscription at no extra cost, like other Netflix Games, but that hasn't been formally confirmed.

Not to be confused with…

There's also a separate, more arcade-style game called FIFA Heroes from a different studio — it's not the same project. See FIFA Heroes vs the Netflix FIFA game for the difference.
