FC 26 COVER
This page shows you the FC 26 cover of every single edition and platform.
FC 26 Covers
The cover of each FC title is the artwork featured on the front of the game package, a hallmark of the franchise since its inception. Over the years, FIFA covers have reflected the evolving football landscape, symbolizing the game’s lasting appeal among fans. Typically, the cover showcases at least one prominent football star.
While digital editions are now the top sellers, one of the most exciting aspects of every EA FC release remains the anticipation around the cover star. From legends like David Platt to rising stars like Jude Bellingham, and even record-breaker Wayne Rooney, many iconic players have had the privilege of being featured on FIFA covers. With the shift to the FC branding, all eyes are now on who will grace the second-ever FC cover.
The covers vary based on edition, platform, and sometimes even region. For FC 26, there will only be two covers: one for the Ultimate Edition and another for the Standard Edition.
Cover Stars
The covers often feature a striking image of the chosen player, set against a dynamic background that reflects the excitement and drama of football.
In FC 25, Jude Bellingham replaced Erling Braut Haaland as the game’s cover star, a role he continues to hold this year, now alongside Musiala, the new addition for this edition.
Jude Bellingham
Born June 29, 2003, Bellingham rose from Birmingham City’s academy to become a global superstar. After shining at Borussia Dortmund, his €103m move to Real Madrid in 2023 cemented his status, winning La Liga in his debut season while becoming England’s midfield talisman. A complete player with maturity beyond his years, he’s not just football’s future; he’s already elite.
Jamal Musiala
Like Bellingham, Musiala represents football’s next generation. The Bayern Munich prodigy, born February 26, 2003, combines silky dribbling with ice-cool finishing. A key figure for Germany and Bundesliga contender, his creativity and flair make him indispensable.
Standard Edition
There is only one cover for the base version of FC 26. Once again, the cover features Jude Bellingham but this time he won’t be alone. The double cover stars are back, and he’ll be joined by Jamal Musiala.
