FC 27 Covers
The cover of each FC game displays the artwork on the front of the game case, a signature feature of the series since its beginning. Over time, FIFA covers have mirrored changes in the football world, highlighting the game’s enduring popularity. Usually, the cover features at least one well-known football star.
Although digital editions now dominate sales, one of the most exciting parts of every EA FC release is the reveal of the cover star. From legends like David Platt to rising talents like Jude Bellingham, and record-breakers like Wayne Rooney, many iconic players have appeared on FIFA covers. With the transition to the FC brand, fans are eager to see who will feature on the second-ever FC cover.
Cover designs differ by edition, platform, and sometimes region. For FC 27, there will be three covers at launch: one for the Standard Edition, another for the Ultimate Edition, and a third for the Ultimate+ 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.
Kylian Mbappé is the featured player on the official FC 27 covers. Jude Bellingham will join him in the Ultimate Plus Edition cover.
Kylian Mbappé
Born on December 20, 1998, Mbappé rose to prominence at AS Monaco before becoming Paris Saint-Germain’s all-time leading goalscorer and joining Real Madrid in 2024. A World Cup winner with France at just 19, his explosive pace, clinical finishing and decisive performances have made him one of football’s defining stars. After a four-year absence, he returns as the franchise’s main cover star for the first time since FIFA 23.
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. A complete midfielder with maturity beyond his years, he has been an EA Sports FC cover star since FC 25, when he replaced Erling Haaland.
The Standard Edition cover features Kylian Mbappé standing confidently above a football-filled cityscape, wearing Real Madrid’s white kit with his arms open.
The bright sky, iconic stadiums and oversized FC 27 logo create a vibrant scene that celebrates football on a global scale. This global cover is inspired by every corner of The World’s Game.
Ultimate Edition
The Ultimate Edition cover of FC 27 showcases Kylian Mbappé in a powerful close-up, roaring with emotion while wearing Real Madrid’s white kit. Set against a dark, minimalist background, the dramatic lighting and metallic FC 27 branding place the entire focus on Mbappé and the intensity of the moment.
Bold and uncompromising, the cover captures his speed, ambition and winning mentality, marking his return as the main face of the franchise after a four-year absence.
Ultimate Plus Edition

The FC 27 Ultimate+ Edition cover features Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham sitting together on a leather sofa, playing the game in Real Madrid training gear.
The raw concrete backdrop, relaxed setting and football resting between them create an intimate, modern scene that blends gaming culture with their shared passion for football.
