EA Sports is preparing for the summer of international football by revealing the complete national team lineup for the upcoming unofficial World Cup mode in FC 26. Launching on June 4, the update features 53 countries in total, allowing players to dive straight into a 48-team tournament structure. Alongside the main bracket, the patch introduces a dedicated events hub, fresh gameplay tweaks, and a Festival of Football themed campaign designed to keep communities engaged throughout the real-world tournament.
Out of the 53 available squads, 41 are actively competing in this summer's real-world tournament. For teams that miss the cut in the primary mode, players can still select them in standard Kick Off matches, complete with new international tournament objectives to grind. Ultimate Team is also getting a massive seasonal refresh, featuring new Evolutions updates, Festival of Football tokens, weekly themed campaigns, and fresh player items to chase while tuning in to the matches on TV.
With millions of daily active players logging into FC 26 across cross-play platforms, seasonal content drops like this remain essential for keeping the community connected between matches. Whether you are using the virtual pitch to rewrite history after your national squad inevitably crashes out in the group stage or just looking to stack up some new Ultimate Team rewards, this update brings plenty of reasons to fire up the game this June.
