The Brazil National Team has been officially confirmed to return to EA FC 26, with many players with real faces.
The last time we saw The Brazil National Team is officially coming in EA FC 26 National Team (the Seleção) in an EA game was in the FIFA World Cup 2022 mode.
Now, thanks to a new multi-year licensing and marketing partnership between the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and Electronic Arts Inc. , Brazil is back where it belongs.
The announcement was made during gamescom latam 2026 in São Paulo, reinforcing EA’s commitment to growing football culture in Latin America. Here’s everything you need to know about this landmark deal.
Brazil National Team in EA FC 26
The Partnership – What We Know
The agreement between the CBF and EA SPORTS was announced on Sunday (3 May) during gamescom latam.
It includes full licensing rights for the Brazil National Team, covering both EA SPORTS FC 26 and EA SPORTS FC Mobile. This means we can expect:
- Authentic player faces for Brazil’s stars – from Vinícius Jr. to Alisson, Marquinhos to Rodrygo and many more.
- Official kits, badges, and branding for the men’s national team.
- Deep integration into Career Mode, Football Ultimate Team, and Kick Off.
There are more details that we will discuss with you on our YouTube channel in a special and exclusive video.
Why This Matters
Brazil has always been synonymous with the beautiful game. The five-time World Cup winners boast one of the most passionate fan bases globally.
Having them fully licensed in EA FC 26 solves a long-standing gap in authenticity. For Career Mode managers, you can now lead the Seleção to World Cup glory with genuine player scans.
For Ultimate Team players, Brazilian links become even more powerful with a full national team squad.
The Brazilian National Team has always been a symbol of talent, identity, and connection with the fans. Bringing the Brazilian National Team back to this environment is a strategic move to strengthen our global brand and connect with millions of fans. This partnership reinforces the CBF’s position of being present in every space where football happens – and today the gaming universe is one of the most relevant.

What About Brazilian Clubs?
This announcement builds on recent partnerships EA has signed with Brazilian clubs: Esporte Clube Bahia SAF and Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas.
As we reported earlier, their authentic real-world players are already in EA FC Mobile and are coming to console versions.
The return of the Brazilian National Team is a huge step, but it also hints that more Brazilian football content – including possibly the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A – could follow soon.
When Can We Play?
The Brazilian National Team is expected to join EA FC 26 via a future Title Update in the coming months.
Given the timing of the announcement (early May), it’s likely that the squad will be added alongside the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 content – potentially in the “Festival of Football” update in June. More details will be shared by EA and the CBF in the coming weeks.
Final Whistle
The return of the Brazilian National Team to EA SPORTS FC is a massive win for authenticity and for fans who have missed seeing the yellow and green jersey on the virtual pitch.
With real faces, official kits, and a multi-year partnership, the Seleção is finally back where it belongs.
Whether you’re planning a Career Mode save aiming for the World Cup, or building a Brazilian-heavy Ultimate Team, the future looks bright and samba-filled.
