Overview
- EA Sports announced Tuesday, July 21, 2026 that Kylian Mbappé will headline the FC 27 Ultimate Edition cover and the EA Sports FC Mobile packaging.
- Mbappé enters the role fresh from the 2026 World Cup where he scored 10 goals to win the Golden Boot and became the men's all-time World Cup top scorer with 22 goals.
- The selection builds on his strong 2025–26 club form for Real Madrid, including consecutive La Liga scoring titles and the Champions League Golden Boot.
- This marks Mbappé's fourth appearance on the franchise's cover and his first as the standalone face of the rebranded EA Sports FC era.
- EA will stream the full gameplay and reveal trailer on July 23, 2026, and the company has not confirmed a retail release date so the trailer is expected to provide more details on editions and launch timing.
