FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition will debut on Netflix Games on June 11, 2026, delivering a free‑to‑play football experience aligned with the upcoming World Cup tournament.
Instant access and smartphone control
Netflix members can launch the title directly from the streaming app, scan an on‑screen QR code, and begin playing without any additional purchase. The game uses a mobile device as the controller, projecting the match to a TV or computer display for a couch‑style setup.
Four‑player co‑op and simplified play
Designed for quick pick‑up sessions, the title accommodates up to four participants, allowing friends or family to compete side‑by‑side. Unlike the deep tactical layers of EA Sports FC, this version emphasizes rapid action and easy‑to‑learn controls, making it approachable for players new to video gaming.
Official World Cup content
All 48 national squads qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup are selectable, each represented by the full roster of 1,248 athletes. Matches unfold across every real‑world stadium slated for the tournament – sixteen venues spanning the United States, Mexico, and Canada – delivering authentic backdrops for the fast‑paced simulation.
The launch version serves as a foundation; developers have pledged future updates that will expand features and polish the experience beyond the initial release.
As the first FIFA‑branded home football game since the franchise’s split from EA Sports, this Netflix offering marks a notable shift in the series’ distribution model while promising a social, low‑barrier entry point for fans eager to rally behind their national teams.
