I’ve been reading hundreds of comments asking the same question: “Where is Neymar in EA FC 26? Why isn’t he in the Brazil National Team?” You’re not alone.
The Brazilian magician – one of the most iconic footballers of his generation – is currently missing from the Seleção’s roster in EA FC 26, despite Brazil being fully licensed and added to the game last month.
The good news is that EA is actively working to bring him back. According to an official statement from EA FC Online, the hold‑up is purely about finalising the license and completing the necessary procedures.
Once that’s done, Neymar will return to EA FC 26, EA FC Mobile, and EA FC Online. Let’s break down what we know, his last known stats, and when you can expect to see him wearing the famous yellow jersey again.
EA FC 26 Neymar
Why Is Neymar Missing?
Neymar’s last appearance in an EA football game was in EA FC 25, where he played for Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League.
When EA added the fully licensed Brazilian National Team to FC 26 via The World’s Game Update, most of the squad was included – but Neymar was notably absent.
The reason is not a technical issue or a snub; it’s about licensing rights. Player likeness rights for national team competitions can be complex, involving separate agreements with federations, player unions, and sometimes individual contracts.
EA is currently in the process of finalizing the license and completing the necessary procedures.

In other words, the paperwork isn’t finished yet. Once it is, Neymar will be added retroactively – no need to wait for a new game.
What Were His Last Known Stats? (FC 25)
For those who want to remember the Neymar we had in FC 25, here are his details:
- Club: Al Hilal
- League: (Saudi Pro League)
- Position: CAM / LW
- Overall Rating: 85
- Potential: 85
- Value: €43M
- Wage: €78K
- Skill Moves: 5‑star
- Weak Foot: 5‑star
- International Reputation: 3‑star
Of course, his stats in FC 26 will likely change based on his latest performances and any rating updates. He might be slightly lower (or higher) depending on form.
When Will He Be Added?
There is no official release date yet, but the fact that EA has publicly acknowledged the process suggests it’s a priority.
Given that The World’s Game Update (World Cup 2026 mode) is now live and running until late July, it would make perfect sense for EA to activate Neymar during the tournament.
A future Title Update or squad update – possibly in late June or early July – could unlock him for the Brazil national team in Kick‑Off, Career Mode, and the World Cup tournament.
Final Whistle
Neymar’s absence from the Brazil squad in EA FC 26 is temporary – it’s a licensing paperwork delay, not a permanent removal.
EA is actively working to finalise the agreement, and once done, one of football’s most exciting players will be back where he belongs.
