With the World Cup just weeks away, IGN can reveal The World\u2019s Game update for EA Sports FC 26<\/a> and EA Sports FC Mobile with exclusive screenshots and details.<\/p>\n

The World\u2019s Game Update, due out May 28, lets players lead a nation in a new 48-team international tournament mode starting June 4. EA Sports doesn\u2019t have the official license for the FIFA World Cup itself (EA Sports\u2019 FIFA series switched to EA Sports FC for the 2023 entry), but the new update features 53 fully licensed and playable national teams, 41 of which are competing in the actual World Cup.<\/p>\n

Fully licensed and playable national teams include Brazil, England, France, Cabo Verde, and Uzbekistan. New stadiums include Gillette Stadium and BMO Field, alongside Central Maw, \u201ca new stadium built to capture the atmosphere of top-tier international football.\u201d<\/p>\n

The slideshow below includes two exclusive images, revealing the Mexico and Morocco national teams as they appear in The World\u2019s Game update. Other images included show Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal, Virgil van Dijk’s Holland, and the United States national team.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

EA Sports said the World\u2019s Game features two non-licensed teams with authentic players (Egypt, Japan), and five non-licensed generic squads (Algeria, Cura\u00e7ao, Iran, Iraq, Jordan). \u201cNational team inclusion depends on our ability to secure licensing rights directly and comply with applicable laws and regulations, including U.S. sanctions, which may limit our ability to partner with certain federations,\u201d EA Sports explained.<\/p>\n

    The standalone 48-team tournament takes you through three group stage matches, with the top two teams progressing alongside the eight best third-placed teams across all groups. From there, knockout rounds begin with the round of 32 before culminating in the tournament final.<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, Ultimate Team gets a dedicated Event Hub, Festival of Football themed campaigns, and more. If you log in and play FC 26 between June 5 and July 24, you get a 93 OVR Festival of Football ICON Pel\u00e9 and three \u2018Choose Your Journey\u2019 Evolutions.<\/p>\n

    Throughout Festival of Football, EA Sports will add over 100 new international players to the FUT pool of items, as well as two brand new ICONS: Rivellino and Mario Kempes. They\u2019ll debut with special Greats of the Game Versions on June 19, before their Base versions are available in the FUT pool of items for Packs from June 26.<\/p>\n
