While it's Swedish veteran Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the cover of the EA Sports FC 26 Ultimate Edition, EA Sports has today confirmed that Real Madrid and Bayern Munich midfielders Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala will share the PS5, PS4 title's standard edition boxart.
The two players are seen walking out of the tunnel on the front cover for a Champions League match. No ground would ever have home and away supporters directly next to the tunnel on opposite sides, so some creative liberties have been taken for the boxart, but it does make the image slightly more exciting.

While it is England that Bellingham plays for and Musiala for Germany on the international front, the latter was actually part of the England youth system, from under-15s to under-21. He then decided to represent his place of birth and his mother's nation. This meant the two players were teammates while growing up and playing for England.
Speaking to The New York Times, Musiala said he grew up playing FIFA and idolised the likes of Ronaldinho, Messi, and Neymar. "I’d watch their skills, then go out to the garden or the park, dribbling through cones, seeing what I could learn from them. So this is a big moment for me, a dream come true."
FC 26 releases for PS5 and PS4 on 26th September 2025, and the debut reveal trailer goes live in the coming hours.
