Why Mbappe and Bellingham Got the Cover?
Both players had a big summer at the 2026 World Cup. Mbappe finished as the tournament’s all-time top scorer with 22 goals, passing Lionel Messi’s old record. Bellingham helped England reach third place. They are also teammates at Real Madrid, which made them a natural pick for EA.
Fans and viewers also agreed that Mbappe was a deserving choice for the FC 27 cover. His performances and popularity have made him one of the biggest stars in football, and he has already been closely linked with the franchise through previous cover appearances.
Mbappe and Bellingham’s History on FIFA and EA FC Covers
Mbappe has been a familiar face on EA’s football game covers for years. He first appeared on the FIFA 21 cover and returned as the cover star for FIFA 22, becoming one of the few players to feature on consecutive FIFA covers.
Bellingham’s cover history is more recent. He became the cover star of EA Sports FC 25, appearing on both the Standard and Ultimate Edition covers. He then returned for EA Sports FC 26, sharing the cover with Jamal Musiala.
