Netflix Teams Up With Delphi Interactive for a New FIFA Game
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Netflix has announced a new, untitled FIFA game developed by Delphi Interactive, set to release in 2026 for subscribers on mobile devices and select smart TVs.
The soccer gaming landscape is shifting in a very unexpected direction. Netflix has officially announced a brand new FIFA game, stepping into the sports simulation space over three years after EA Sports and soccer's governing body parted ways and ended their decades-long partnership. This upcoming untitled project is being developed by Delphi Interactive, a studio known for its work on 007 First Light. For players who have watched the franchise transition into EA Sports FC, this marks the first real sign of how the famous FIFA name will return to the interactive space.
True to the streaming giant's current gaming strategy, the title will be entirely free to play for active Netflix subscribers. It is currently slated for a 2026 launch, strategically positioning itself right around the window of the upcoming FIFA World Cup in North America. By timing the release with the global soccer tournament, Netflix is clearly aiming to capture the massive wave of mainstream attention that comes with the quadrennial event, turning casual sports fans into mobile gamers.
Platform-wise, the game is targeting Android and iOS devices alongside limited smart TV support. Based on how Netflix manages its current catalog, mobile players can likely expect standard controller support, while TV setups will likely default to using smartphones as controllers. It is a casual-friendly rollout that bypasses traditional consoles entirely, fitting neatly into the subscription model that millions of players already use on their phones every day.
