- The FIFA Club World Cup will not be available in FC 26.
- EA have already revealed the full list of competitions present in the title, and the CWC is nowhere to be seen.
- Any possibilities of the Club World Cup joining EA FC 26 are complicated by EA and FIFA's rocky relationship.
When it comes to licensed teams, leagues, and tournaments, EA FC 26 is miles ahead of the competition. Despite its infamous split with FIFA, the EA Sports FC franchise has retained the rights to every major European league and essential South American competitions such as the Copa Libertadores. Recent international tournaments like the Women’s Euros 2025 and 2024’s Copa America have also arrived exclusively in the game. This has led many players to wonder whether the newly minted FIFA Club World Cup will be present in EA FC 26. So, here’s everything you need to know.
Will EA FC 26 Have the Club World Cup?
No, FC 26 will not have the Club World Cup. EA have already revealed the full list of competitions and leagues players can expect to see in the title, and the FIFA CWC is nowhere to be seen. There are a couple of reasons behind its absence, but the primary one is certainly EA’s frosty relationship with FIFA.
Back in 2023, the two parties failed to ink a license extension agreement, meaning FIFA 23 was the final EA Sports title with the international organisation’s branding. Every subsequent entry in their football sim franchise has carried the EA FC label. On the other hand, FIFA have been collaborating with Konami’s eFootball for their e-World Cup competitions, while also looking for a developer to make the next FIFA game. Their diverging paths only illustrate why the Club World Cup featuring in FC 26 is borderline impossible.
There’s always a small chance that EA could acquire temporary rights to the tournament, as many are hoping they will for the 2026 World Cup. But they’ll only consider this approach for the next Club World Cup (scheduled for 2029) since obtaining the rights to an already concluded tournament (2025 Club World Cup) is futile.
If you’re looking for the CWC experience, you can always create a custom tournament in FC 26 and pick teams from all over the world. You can even include teams that missed out on the real-life tournament, such as Barcelona and Liverpool, to make things even more competitive.
And that is everything to know about whether the Club World Cup will be present in EA FC 26. Are you looking forward to the upcoming title? Be sure to let us know in the comments.
