Jude Bellingham has officially been revealed as one of the cover stars for EA FC 26, appearing alongside Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala on the front of the game’s standard edition.

The Real Madrid midfielder returns to the cover following his appearance on EA FC 25, while Musiala makes his debut.

After months of speculation, EA Sports has begun lifting the lid on what fans can expect from EA FC 26, the latest installment in the evolving EA Sports FC franchise.

Earlier this week, the company updated its social media branding to reflect the new game’s logo, signaling the beginning of a new promotional cycle.

The momentum kicked off with the announcement of Zlatan Ibrahimović as the Ultimate Edition cover star.

Now, the standard edition stars have also been confirmed, validating leaks that pointed to Bellingham’s continued presence and Musiala’s first-time inclusion.

EA FC 26 Release Date Expected Soon

While an official release date has yet to be confirmed, EA FC 26 is widely expected to launch on September 26, 2025, based on the franchise’s consistent annual release pattern. The official reveal trailer is scheduled to debut on July 17, which is likely to include a confirmed release date.

As in previous years, players will be able to choose between two editions of the game: the Standard Edition and the Ultimate Edition. The Ultimate Edition offers a week of early access, along with exclusive in-game bonuses.
