Every year we look forward to the latest edition of the game previously known as “FIFA” but now under the mantle of EA SPORTS FC. This is by far my most played game, it’s the “game between games” in that you can pick it up at any time and play a few matches to break up the time between the latest RPG or shooter titles.
One of the highlights beyond graphic improvements and player changes is the games music. The series is well known for the music it features each year, it breaks new artists and revives classic tunes in a way few video games have been able to. I mean we all remember Blur’s Song 2 on Fifa 98 and The Ceasars’ “Jerk it Out” on Fifa 2004. There are so many great tracks over the years that we instantly associate with the world’s video game.
We first saw a soundtrack introduced in the 1997 edition and now the 2025 version of the game has released what tracks will feature in the September release.
FC 25’s playlist spotlights an eclectic range of genres including Elyanna ’s experimental Arabic-Latin pop fusion; South African Moonchild Sanelly ’s ‘future ghetto funk’; and Afro-Colombian group Kombilesa Mi ’s traditional Palanque music and urban rap synthesis.
The track list also showcases a range of international tastemakers, from Disclosure and Ice Spice to Kasabian , in addition to superstar artists including two-time Oscar-winner Billie Eilish ; Prince of Reggaeton J Balvin ; British super producer Fred again.. ; Charli xcx , whose critically-acclaimed album ‘Brat’ inspired a cultural personality trend this summer; up and coming Japanese drill rapper JUMADIBA ; unparalleled Afrobeat artist Obongjayar ; Spanish all-female rockers Hinds ; and celebrated jungle revivalist Nia Archives.
A brand-new song from FC-superfan Polish rapper MATA , who featured EA SPORTS FC in his music video, will also be on the soundtrack.
The FC 25 soundtrack includes several unreleased songs anticipated to drop later this year, including a track by Glastonbury headliners and the sixth most awarded band ever, Coldplay.
Two unreleased tracks from Delfina Dib – an Argentine artist whose music reflects her diverse Lebanese and Spanish-Italian roots – will also feature in FC 25. Other unreleased songs will come from Mercury Prize-nominated FKA Twigs ; and platinum-selling, Welsh rockers, Catfish and the Bottlemen .
EA SPORTS has worked with Spotify for three years to bring the soundtrack to life and give fans even more access to their favourite FC tracks. The collaboration between EA SPORTS and Spotify aims to bring fans the best of football and music year after year, game after game. Listen to the full EA SPORTS FC 25 soundtrack on Spotify here , and across most streaming platforms.
EA SPORTS FC 25 will be available to play on September 27 with early access through the Ultimate Edition available as of September 20. Pre-orders are now available for EA SPORTS FC™ 25, which will launch on PlayStation® 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch™.
