Caught up in World Cup fever? Best Buy has 40% off FC 26 so you can set up those needed rematches on your own terms

If you look beyond the tournament’s various controversies, there haven’t been that many World Cup 2026 upsets — but a few disappointing results from certain games means that many fans are going to see their teams go home early.

They’ll have to wait four years for a rematch, but you don’t need to. You can organize repeats on your console right now, because FC 26 is 40% off at Best Buy. That saving is across consoles, so whether you’re a Switch player, own a PlayStation or are gaming on Xbox, you can pick up the latest EA Sports release for just $30.

Best Buy is rolling out these savings explicitly to tie into the 2026 World Cup. As well as the discounted FC 26, it’s advertising several color options of Xbox Elite Series 2 Core as part of the celebrations, but these don’t enjoy any kind of discount.

The retailer hasn’t confirmed when the discounts will end, but it’ll likely roll into a Prime Day-rivalling reduction when those begin on June 23.

Should you buy EA Sports FC 26?

I’m far from an annual FIFA EA Sports FC buyer, but it’s hard to deny that the World Cup sparks an excitement that soccer video games let you enjoy. So if you only play every few years, this is probably a year worth trying.

And there are some big Group Stage matches that I’d really like to relitigate. Maybe Scotland can claw defeat from Morocco if I’m the one heading up the attack.

As per our own EA FC 26 review, this iteration of the game has brought quite a few major changes to the formula, including a refreshed Manager mode and a revamped Ultimate Team, so there’s even more reason that this could be the soccer game to try.

When Prime Day comes, we’ll possibly see the game go a little bit cheaper over at Amazon, but likely only by a dollar or two. And that’s still a few days out, so you’ll have to wait a few more days to see who makes it to your own personal Round of 32.

We’ll have loads of Prime Day gaming deals for you to enjoy from June 23, and if you want to know what else is worth buying, here are the best football games we recommend.
