After months and months of anticipation, EA Sports FC 26 has finally landed. And to celebrate the release, the California-based video game giant has linked up with the Swoosh for the EA Sports FC 26 x Nike Phantom 6 Elite. Taking on the brand new Phantom 6 Elite soccer cleat – endorsed by on-field icons like Erling Haaland and Alexia Putellas – this limited edition collab is a must-have for football fans across both the virtual and real-world pitch.
One of the standout features of the Phantom 6 Elite is its advanced Tuned Gripknit upper, which offers an unbelievable level of support and comfort. Here, it’s dipped in a glitchy, TV static-inspired Multi-Color palette that looks slightly different on every pair. That means no two boots will look exactly the same, which is pretty neat.
Another reason this silhouette is already being hailed as one of the greatest modern football boots is the Cyclone 360 plate embedded in the sole. Designed for explosive movement and unmatched agility, it’s been tested by some of the world’s most elite Nike players – so you know it delivers when it counts.
A small Bright Crimson Swoosh glides across the lateral side, while an oversized green version wraps the heel for extra pop. “Phantom Mode” is stamped on the insole, and the cleats arrive in a custom EA Sports shoebox you won’t find anywhere else. If you’re looking for something with a bit more ankle support, the EA Sports FC 26 x Nike Phantom 6 High Elite is coming soon, too.
The EA Sports FC 26 x Nike Phantom 6 Elite Multi-Color is a certified must-own. Dropping Fall 2025 via Nike and select retailers both online and in-store, it’ll be available in limited quantities.
