Mbappé Named EA Sports FC 27 Cover Star

Kylian Mbappé has been officially revealed as the cover star for EA Sports FC 27, headlining the Ultimate Edition and appearing on FC Mobile as part of EA’s rebranded FC series. This marks his first time as the main EA Sports FC cover star since the FIFA era, following a four-year hiatus from the franchise covers.

EA Sports has set a gameplay reveal for July 23 and targets a mid-September release window for FC 27. The company highlights Mbappé’s global marketability and recent on-field success, including the World Cup Golden Boot and strong performances for Real Madrid. The official announcements confirm Mbappé’s primacy for FC 27, signaling the franchise’s continued evolution since rebranding from FIFA.
