According to a leak from known insider DetectiveFUT on X, EA Sports FC 27 will feature Cristiano Ronaldo on the Ultimate Edition cover for the first time since FIFA 19 in 2018. If confirmed, this would be Ronaldo's third cover appearance for the franchise.
Standard Edition Cover Stars
The standard edition cover is expected to feature Jude Bellingham and Ousmane Dembélé, according to the leak. Alternatively, it could feature another Real Madrid player alongside an unnamed Barcelona player. Bellingham, currently England's joint-top scorer with Harry Kane in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, would be making his third consecutive cover appearance.
Leak Credibility
DetectiveFUT has a track record of accurate EA Sports FC leaks, but they cautioned that the information is 'not 100% confirmed' and 'things could still change.' The Ultimate Edition cover for EA Sports FC 26 featured Zlatan Ibrahimović, while EA Sports FC 25's Ultimate Edition included Bellingham, David Beckham, Aitana Bonmatí, Gianluigi Buffon, and Zinedine Zidane.
Release Timeline
EA Sports FC 27 is expected to be revealed soon, likely after the World Cup ends on July 19, following the pattern of previous releases launching at the end of September.
