FC 26 Mobile release date: When does the mobile version come out?

FC 26 Mobile is scheduled to release on Friday 26th September 2025 – this is the same day the regular version releases on consoles and PC.

The game will be available to download from the App Store on iOS and the Play Store on Android devices.

What do we know about FC 26 Mobile?

There are a few things we know about the new version of the game, so let's take a look.

First, the higher your OVR is in the current version of the game, the better your rewards will be in the new season. This includes Founders Points which can be used to obtain Players, Coins and Vanity Items.

Your Active Lineup come 26th September will determine your final OVR used to calculate your rewards.

There are certain elements from last year's game that will carry over to FC 26, but many more than won't. Here's the full breakdown.

  • Player Item Roster
  • Coins
  • Gems
  • League and League Record
  • Account Level

    • Kits
