As the world would come together to celebrate the FIFA World Cup 2026, fans can play a newly reimagined FIFA football simulation game exclusively on Netflix Games. The game, developed and published by Delphi Interactive, allows Netflix members to experience the emotion and drama of the tournament in its purest, most joyful form — in a format that’s fast to learn, thrilling to master, and built for anyone to jump in.
According to a media statement put out by the two companies, Netflix subscribers can play solo or with friends online. All one needs is Netflix and the phone.
“The FIFA World Cup is going to be the cultural event of 2026, and now fans will be able to celebrate their fandom by bringing the game right into their living rooms,” said Alain Tascan, President of Games at Netflix, adding, “We want to bring football back to its roots with something everyone can play with just the touch of a button.”
However, Netflix Games is a service that’s not available in all the countries where the streamer’s subscribers are spread out. The games, according to the streamer, are currently available in the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Spain, Mexico, France, Italy, Poland, Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Ireland, Finland, Germany, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand on a selection of devices.
If one sees Games in the menu at the top when browsing Netflix on the TV or in a web browser on Netflix.com, it means one has a device that can play games.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino said in a statement, “FIFA is very excited to team up with Netflix Games and Delphi Interactive ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026. This major collaboration is a key milestone in FIFA’s commitment to innovation in the football gaming space, which aspires to reach billions of football fans of all ages everywhere in the world and will be redefining the pure notion of simulation games. Our reimagined game truly marks the beginning of a new era of digital football. It will be available for free to Netflix members and is a great historic step for FIFA.”
“Football is the biggest thing in the world,” said Casper Daugaard, Founder & CEO of Delphi Interactive, “As lifelong FIFA fans, we’re honoured to help usher in the bold next generation and reimagine the future of the franchise. Our mission is simple: Make the FIFA game the most fun, approachable, and global football game ever created.”
The new FIFA game will join recently released titles as part of a suite of games that Netflix members can find on their TVs, right alongside their favourite shows and movies, using their phones as a controller.
