For anyone who learned the words to a Modest Mouse song from FIFA 06, or discovered Phoenix because of FIFA 09, or started a Sigur Rós phase because of FIFA 11 — you know how influential the EA Sports football game soundtracks have been on global music taste over the last two decades. The 2026 edition, EA Sports FC 26, ships with one of the deepest and most diverse soundtracks in the series’ history: 109 tracks across 30+ nations, including 27 previously unreleased songs and the first time a professional footballer has appeared on an EA Sports FC soundtrack.
Here is the complete breakdown of what is on the FC 26 soundtrack, the artists, the release dates, and where to listen.

Featured Artists on FC 26
EA’s curation team has consistently pulled from the most-talked-about acts of the year leading into release. The FC 26 lineup leans heavily into UK and Irish electronic, alternative pop, and Afrobeats, with a substantial K-pop and Latin presence as well. Confirmed artists include:
- Ed Sheeran — the headline name on the cover
- Fred again.. — UK electronic / dance, currently one of the most prominent live electronic acts in the world
- Skepta — British grime / hip-hop pioneer
- Jennie (BLACKPINK) — K-pop solo lead
- PinkPantheress — British pop / drum & bass
- Wet Leg — British indie rock
- Haim — American rock trio
- Pulp — the legendary British band on their comeback cycle
- Joy Crookes — BRIT-nominated UK singer-songwriter
- Alewya — London-based electronic / Afrobeat / alternative artist
- Sammy Virji, Joy Orbison, Nick León — UK and international club / dance producers
- Animal Collective, Little Simz, Obongjayar, Moonchild Sanelly, Young Miko, John Glacier, King Princess, Sampa The Great, Sudan Archives — deeper-cut alternative, hip-hop, and global pop additions
- KMB (Moise Kean) — the Italian international footballer becomes the first pro footballer ever on an EA Sports FC soundtrack
The Moise Kean Moment
This is the smartest cross-promotional moment in the franchise’s soundtrack history. Moise Kean — the Italian international striker currently playing for Fiorentina — appears on the soundtrack under his music alias KMB. This is the first time a professional footballer has been featured on an EA Sports FC soundtrack. The track itself is reportedly a rap collaboration recorded between Kean’s on-pitch commitments.
The footballer-as-recording-artist crossover has been simmering for years — Memphis Depay has released music, as has Romelu Lukaku in cameos — but Kean is the first to formally cross into the EA Sports musical universe. Expect more footballers to follow.
The Curatorial Direction in 2026
If you look at the soundtrack as a whole, EA’s curators have leaned much harder into UK club and electronic music this year than in previous editions. Fred again.., Skepta, Sammy Virji, Joy Orbison, PinkPantheress, Joy Crookes, Alewya, Pulp — that is a UK scene representation roster that no previous FC or FIFA soundtrack has matched.
It is also notable how much African artist representation the album carries. Obongjayar, Alewya, Moonchild Sanelly, Sampa The Great, plus the broader Afrobeats production presence across multiple tracks. This continues the trajectory that “Dai Dai” by Shakira and Burna Boy represents on the FIFA 2026 anthem side — Afrobeats has fully arrived as a top-tier global pop genre.
