EA SPORTS has revealed the official EA SPORTS FC 26 soundtrack alongside the first free Ultimate Team packs for players.
This year’s soundtrack pulls from a wide range of genres and regions, giving FC 26 a fresh global vibe. You’ll hear standout tracks from artists like JENNIE, Ed Sheeran, Skepta, PinkPantheress, Fred again.., and Burna Boy. Peso Pluma also makes an appearance, along with rising voices from across Africa, South America, Europe, and beyond.
EA SPORTS FC 26 Soundtrack
FC 26 introduces new sounds from artists like Rachel Chinouriri, Djo, and Sombr, keeping the mix dynamic. The full playlist, now live on Spotify, blends old school indie and modern pop with global electronic and hip-hop. That variety is intentional. EA builds these soundtracks to reflect and shape the identity of each release.
Familiar Faces and Soundtrack Legacy
If you’ve spent time with past FIFA games, some names on the FC 26 playlist will stand out. Ed Sheeran, Skepta, and Burna Boy return, linking this year’s game to earlier editions. That carryover gives returning players something familiar to hold onto. At the same time, newer artists keep things fresh and help strike a balance that feels true to the series without repeating old ground.
These playlists have become one of EA’s trademarks. For years, FIFA soundtracks introduced players to tracks they might not have found otherwise. Many went on to become unexpected hits. Each year’s list becomes a kind of time capsule, tied as much to memory as to gameplay.
Bigger Reach, New Voices
The FC 26 lineup shows just how global the series has become. Tracks come from all over the world. Big names like Ed Sheeran, Fred again.., Skepta, PinkPantheress, Burna Boy, and Peso Pluma headline a list that stretches across continents.
For the first time in the franchise’s history, a professional footballer is part of the mix. Moise Kean, under the name KMB, joins this year’s lineup. It’s a small but clear sign of how closely EA is tying football and music together.
The playlist is already streaming on Spotify and other platforms. EA says this isn’t just background music. It’s part of the game’s tone, meant to fit every moment on and off the pitch.
Tradition Meets Modern Energy
EA has a long history of using music to build atmosphere. The soundtracks have never been filler. They’ve introduced players to new artists, added tension to matches, and created memories that stick long after the game ends. A few tracks even broke into the mainstream after first appearing in FIFA.
FC 26 continues that legacy. Big-name artists and rising acts come together in a mix that feels both familiar and current. Whether you’re playing solo, with friends, or building your squad, the music becomes part of the experience.
The right track at the right time can turn a goal into something you remember. It adds emotion: hype, calm, or focus, depending on the moment. That’s why some songs become closely tied to specific editions.
What makes this year different is how early the soundtrack went live. The playlist dropped before launch, giving players something to talk about well ahead of kickoff. With a mix of familiar names and new voices, it offers something for everyone football fans, casual players, and music heads alike.
