Four years after his last appearance on the series’ cover, Kylian Mbappé returns as the face of EA SPORTS FC 27. Developed and published by Electronic Arts, the football game will be released on PC, PS5, Xbox Series et Nintendo Switch 2 le 25 septembre 2026. L’attaquant du Real Madrid figurera sur la jaquette de l’édition Ultimate, avant une première présentation du gameplay annoncée pour le 23 juillet.
As of now, Electronic Arts has not yet released the gameplay trailer for EA SPORTS FC 27. The publisher has confirmed it will drop on YouTube on July 23, 2026 at 6:00 PM (French time).
The marketing unveiled so far has focused on the game's visual identity and on Kylian Mbappé returning as the leading face of this new edition. The first official images show the French forward in Real Madrid colors on the cover of the Ultimate edition.
The game kicks off the annual edition of EA SPORTS' football-simulation series, featuring licensed competitions, clubs and players included in this year's release.
The French international reclaims this spot four years after first representing the franchise. In a statement, he says: "Appearing on the cover of an EA SPORTS FC game is a very special moment for me. It's an honor to continue my long-standing relationship with the franchise, alongside the players who have defined its history".
On his side, Jeff Sharma, Vice President of Franchise Strategy and Marketing at EA SPORTS FC, said: "We’re thrilled to welcome Kylian back to the franchise as the cover star of EA SPORTS FC 27. His club and international performances have made him one of the standout players of his generation. He embodies the ambition, creativity, and global presence that define EA SPORTS FC today, and we’re proud to continue our partnership with him."
The gameplay reveal will be the next milestone in the communication push for EA SPORTS FC 27. It should give players a first look at the new features of this edition ahead of its launch slated for the end of September.
