An EA Sports FC 26 leak unveiled the new cover athlete, and it’s a familiar face for series veterans.

EA hasn’t revealed any official information about FC 26. Yet, we do know some unconfirmed news, as a leak revealed new ICONS coming to the upcoming title. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Andres Iniesta, Toni Kroos, and Marcelo are just a few of the 12 total legends reportedly getting added.

That wasn’t the only leak to surface, as the cover athlete has also been revealed early.

Reliable FC leaker, Fut Sheriff, corroborated a report from Lean Design, claiming that Jude Bellingham will be on the cover of EA Sports FC 26.

Bellingham was also the cover star for EA FC 25, but appearing on the cover of consecutive games isn’t out of the ordinary for this series. Lionel Messi was on the covers of FIFA 13, 14, 15, and 16, along with two other times. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo was the cover athlete for FIFA 18 and 19.

In the 2024/25 season for Real Madrid, Bellingham scored nine goals and had nine assists in 31 La Liga matches. Real Madrid finished second in La Liga, falling four points shy of Barcelona’s 88-point mark. The Spanish giants also crashed out of the Champions League earlier than expected, losing to Arsenal 5-1 across two legs in the Quarterfinals.

Despite the club’s shortcomings, Bellingham had a stellar season and once again cemented his spot as one of the best midfielders in the world.

It’s unclear what the cover will look like with Bellingham on it, but it’s safe to assume that he will be doing his iconic arms-wide-open celebration, just like the cover art for EA FC 25.
