Just as EA is about to embark on a new chapter with EA FC, the franchise’s mobile series is always in line for a major overhaul. Here is everything you need to know about FC Mobile.

EA made sure to send FIFA Mobile off in style. The new Manager Mode featured real-life teams in competitive PvP action in a bid to climb the Division Rivals Ladder. The game mode took a page from Football Manager, allowing players to manage their team’s tactics in real-time and watch them play automatically.

Despite not grabbing the same headlines as EA FC, there is plenty for mobile gaming fans to be excited about for FC Mobile.

Let’s jump right into what players can expect from the upcoming mobile football game.

FC Mobile release date

FC Mobile launches on September 26. Once the game goes live, players will be able to download the update on the App Store or Play Store. And as per usual, FC Mobile will be free-to-play for everyone.

Vinicius Jr named as cover athlete

EA named Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland as the cover athlete for EA SPORTS FC 24. But for FC Mobile, the team went a different route and named Real Madrid phenom Vinicius Jr as the game cover star.

This marks the first time the Brazilian winger features on the cover of a game.
