FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition is coming to Netflix Games on June 11, 2026. It’s a new official FIFA soccer game that plays through the Netflix TV app via cloud gaming. Delphi Interactive developed and published the game, which is tied to the FIFA World Cup 2026 in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition is a TV-based Netflix game. You access it through the Games tab on the Netflix TV app. After scanning a QR code on the TV screen, your phone becomes the controller. That puts the game directly inside Netflix’s growing TV-based cloud gaming lineup.
FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition Brings FIFA Licensing To Netflix Games
FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition is included with all Netflix membership plans. It follows Jackbox and Overcooked! in Netflix’s TV-game lineup, but it brings the service an official sports licence tied to FIFA World Cup 2026.
The game supports solo play and online play with friends. For now, Netflix has only detailed QR-code pairing and phone input, so your phone acts as the controller through the Netflix TV app.
Official FIFA Content Covers The 2026 Tournament
FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition includes all 48 teams from the tournament, 1,248 footballers, and 16 stadiums across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Together, those details keep FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition tied closely to the actual FIFA World Cup 2026 structure rather than using the licence in name only.
The June 11 rollout lands on the same day the FIFA World Cup 2026 begins. It’s launching as FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition. Updated versions are planned as the tournament progresses. Over time, more updates are also planned as the game’s community grows.
This isn’t really trying to be EA Sports FC. FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition is an official FIFA game, but the Netflix version is centred on TV app access and phone-controller play.
June 11 Rollout Covers Several Netflix Regions
A limited test began on June 4, 2026 in Brazil and Germany. On June 11, FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition expands to Canada, the United States, Mexico, the UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Finland, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
More countries are planned after launch, though the next group hasn’t been named yet.
