PinkPantheress, Wet Leg and Pulp included on EA Sports FC 26 soundtrack

PinkPantheress, Wet Leg and Pulp all feature on the soundtrack for EA Sports FC 26.

The soundtrack to the latest game in the annual football video game series has been revealed ahead of its September 26 release on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC – containing 109 songs and also featuring Ed Sheeran, The Cure and HAIM.

Steve Schnur, EA’s president of music, said: “For more than two decades, EA Sports has shaped global culture by introducing millions of players to new music, artists, and genres.

“FC 26 is one of the most diverse and bold soundtracks yet – echoing the voice of the FC community through song and culture.”

PinkPantheress, whose track Girl Like Me features on the playlist, added: “Having Girl Like Me on the FC 26 soundtrack is honestly a bit mad.

“I’ve always thought it’s sweet how football and music can bring people together without even trying. I just like making songs that make you feel something, so hopefully when they queue a tune of mine in the game, they catch a vibe and carry it with them. Maybe even help them bag a goal or two, who knows!”

The track BOMBAY is also a first for EA Sports as it is by professional footballer Moise Kean – with the striker for Italian club Fiorentina releasing the track under the name KMB.

Kean said: “Football and music are both passions that unite people across the world, no matter their differences. To now be a part of FC 26, not just as a player but as an artist myself, is a dream come true.”
