EA says the French forward returns after four years and also fronts EA Sports FC Mobile as the franchise enters its first season after rebranding.
- EA Sports named French forward Kylian Mbappé as the cover athlete for FC 27 Ultimate Edition, marking his return to the franchise front after a four-year break.
- This marks his first appearance on an EA Sports FC-branded title following the series' rebrand from FIFA, with Mbappé now featured in his Real Madrid kit rather than his previous PSG jersey.

- Mbappé, who won this year's World Cup Golden Boot, called the feature "a very special moment" and an "honour" to continue his relationship with the franchise.
- The French forward will also grace the cover of EA Sports FC Mobile, with a dedicated gameplay trailer set for YouTube on Thursday, July 23, 2026.
