FC 26 Spotify
Spotify integration in FC 26 marks a significant step forward in delivering a personalized audio experience for gamers. After years of community requests for more audio customization while playing football games, EA Sports has officially partnered with Spotify to let you bring your own soundtrack to every match and menu.
This collaboration means that for the first time, players can seamlessly blend their favorite songs, playlists, and podcasts with FC 26 gameplay, replacing the classic in-game commentary with whatever motivates, relaxes, or excites them most.
The initiative reflects a broader industry trend to give players greater control over their in-game environment, turning every moment, from squad building to those tense last-minute goals, into a uniquely personal showcase.

Limitations
