THE FUSE

FIFA is coming back as a Netflix exclusive. I mean, not really FIFA per se. That franchise is now called EA Sports FC after soccer’s international governing body failed to get EA to keep paying for the licensing rights. This new FIFA, which will only be playable on the Netflix app, will likely be something very different. FIFA and Netflix promise it’s coming next year in time for the 2026 World Cup, but as of right now it’s not even really clear who’s actually going to develop this new soccer game.
