Netflix subscribers will be able to play the new FIFA for free via the Netflix app on Android and iOS devices (uh oh), as well as via compatible television sets. There&#8217;s no mention of a browser option as of yet, though <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/help.netflix.com\/en\/node\/132197\" target=\"_blank\">Netflix&#8217;s dedicated games page<\/a> (which is linked in the FIFA announcement) suggests this will be an option.<\/p>\n<p>The game will, per the press release, allow players to &#8220;experience the emotion and drama of the tournament in its purest, most joyful form\u2014in a format that\u2019s fast to learn, thrilling to master, and built for anyone to jump in.&#8221; It will feature both solo play and multiplayer.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s one sentence that absolutely no football fan wants to hear, courtesy of Alain Tascan, president of games at Netflix: &#8220;We want to bring football back to its roots with something everyone can play with just the touch of a button.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1654px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.23%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"TsuZoSp9LZhimGktP32XQG\" name=\"World Cup\" alt=\"A Scotland fan kisses a replica of the Jules Rimet trophy.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/fifa-wants-to-redefine-the-pure-motion-of-simulation-games-with-its-2026-world-cup-game-which-will-also-be-a-netflix-exclusive.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1654\" height=\"930\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Craig Williamson &#8211; SNS Group via Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;Our reimagined game truly marks the beginning of a new era of digital football,&#8221; said Infantino, a man whose words have all the solidity of wind. &#8220;It will be available for free to Netflix members and is a great historic step for FIFA.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Infantino says the game aims to &#8220;reach billions of football fans of all ages everywhere in the world and will be redefining the pure notion of simulation games.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Oookay.

Ours will be the most fun, approachable, and global football game ever created.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, we&#8217;ll see about that. More details are incoming in 2026, and it will at the very least be interesting to see what Delphi Interactive can do with such a potentially enormous audience, and the dream tie-in with the World Cup. I&#8217;m not sure that EA Sports FC enjoyers will be rushing to pick up what sounds like a one-button F2P game built for mobile first\u2026 but maybe millions of others will.
