Fifa will finally release its much-anticipated return to video games in 2026, several years after its acrimonious split with developer EA.
But it is Netflix, rather than a major game studio, which has secured the rights to the upcoming football game.
Once one of the most profitable brands in gaming history, issues including a costly licence prompted Fifa's previous publisher Electronic Arts to stop using the name in 2023 - instead naming its best-selling game EA Sports FC.
Netflix said the new Fifa would be developed and published by Delphi Interactive - which has yet to release a video game - and released ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
It said subscribers will be able to play online via the Netflix app on iOS and Android devices - or on select TVs by using their phone as the controller.
