EA FC 26 delivers a fantastic football experience, but let’s be honest – no game is perfect. While we celebrate the new Title Updates and Squad Updates, some lingering bugs continue to frustrate the community.
These aren’t just minor glitches; they’re issues that break the immersion and authenticity we all crave.
We’ve compiled a list of the top 10 important bugs that we hope EA SPORTS will address soon. Let’s get into it.
Top 10 Bugs in EA FC 26
1. FC Bayern München Goal Song
Bayern’s iconic goal song doesn’t play in Bundesliga matches or other domestic competitions — it only triggers in UEFA Champions League games.
Goal songs are part of club identity and atmosphere. Missing this for Bayern fans removes one of those little moments that make matches feel real.
2. Bundesliga Broadcast Package
Substitution graphics are absent for Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2 and the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup packages.
Substitution overlays are important for broadcast feel and clarity when managing squads in Career Mode or kick off matches. Their absence makes the presentation feel incomplete.
3. Arminia Bielefeld Crest Missing in Overlays
Arminia Bielefeld’s crest doesn’t appear on match overlays for Bundesliga and related overlays.
Wrong or missing crests break immersion and cause inaccurate presentation in Kick Off and broadcast screens.
4. Tucked Shirts
Shirts are tucked for players who put their shirts under shorts in gameplay and editing. That happens for all match referees as well.
Visual inconsistencies like this ruin realism and can be distracting during close-ups and replays.
5. Goal Replay
In Kick Off and Career Mode replays, the first replay camera gets stuck at the centre circle instead of showing the expected action.
Replay is how we relive big moments — a stuck camera ruins the replay experience and hides the moment’s detail.
6. POV Camera
The POV Camera glitches during substitutions and goal celebrations. You can see the player’s arms flail around his invisible body.
This is a jarring animation/camera bug that breaks immersion and makes celebrations look broken on streams and clips.
7. Black Boots in Live Manager
All players of the team are wearing default black boots in Manager Live, and when you try to change them, they will return to default again.
Boots are a simple customization that matter to club identity and kit presentation. This bug removes a layer of personalization.
8. Sponsored Goalkeeper Kits Missing
Missing sponsored kits for goalkeepers in the Manager Career “Create Your Club”; although they were available in EA SPORTS FC 24.
Goalkeeper kits with sponsor branding are part of club identity and monetized realism; missing them hurts club creation options.
9. Glitched Tifos
Club tifos for Real Betis and Beşiktaş are glitched during Kick Off on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (but work on PS4/Xbox One).
Tifos are a huge part of stadium atmosphere — glitches on next-gen/PC reduce immersion for those platforms while older gens remain correct.
10. Stadium Kick Off Intro Bug
Celtic Park and Tüpraş Stadyumu are incorrectly shown in the match intro when playing a final match in Kick Off and Career Mode.
Showing the wrong stadium in a Final match intro is a clear presentation bug and looks amateur during big-game moments.
Final Whistle
EA SPORTS has done a great job building a solid foundation with EA FC 26, but it’s the polish that makes a game legendary.
Fixing these bugs—from the silent stadiums of Munich to the glitched cameras of cup finals—would go a long way in delivering the most immersive and authentic football simulation yet.
We’re hoping the next Title Update or version update has these issues in its sights. Did we miss a bug that’s been driving you crazy? Let us know on our YouTube and social channels!
