Netflix and FIFA announce an exclusive video game to be released ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The partnership centers on a new game timed for the tournament’s start, with Netflix positioned as the exclusive distribution or platform partner. Both outlets frame the announcement as part of FIFA’s wider efforts to expand the World Cup experience beyond the pitch and into digital entertainment. The reporting indicates the game is being developed in connection with FIFA’s 2026 World Cup schedule rather than as a standalone release. While specific gameplay features, platforms, and release dates are not provided in the supplied excerpts, the core details are consistent: FIFA and Netflix partner on a World Cup-themed game, and the release timing is planned to align with the 2026 tournament kickoff. The announcement signals Netflix’s continued investment in sports-related content and FIFA’s use of major media partners to reach audiences around major events.
