FIFA and Gamefam launch FIFA World Cup 2026 event in Super Soccer and Roblox

FIFA and Gamefam, the gaming and media company for Gen Z and Alpha communities, today announced the launch of the official FIFA World Cup 2026 event on Roblox. The activation brings the biggest sports event of the year to life on one of the most influential platforms for the next generation of fans, marking one of Roblox’s biggest official sports events to date. FIFA Super Soccer, the official home of FIFA on Roblox, will be transformed into a FIFA World Cup 2026 event hub featuring all 48 participating national teams, a FIFA World Cup 2026 stadium, gameplay quests, exclusive player rewards and connections to the tournament, including live standings and scoreboards. The action in FIFA Super Soccer will be extended across five other games, forming a six-game crossover event that will transform Roblox into a global FIFA World Cup destination where fans can play, compete, collect rewards and celebrate the tournament – all amid the action on the real-world pitch. All 48 FIFA World Cup 2026 National Teams: Every FIFA World Cup 2026 national team, including reigning FIFA World Cup 2022 champions Argentina, will be playable in FIFA Super Soccer, giving fans the chance to represent their country on Roblox.

This Roblox event gives a new generation of fans a fun, accessible and interactive way to connect with the tournament – from being able to play as one of the 48 national teams in FIFA Super Soccer to celebrating real-world moments with friends through live events, quests and rewards. FIFA is excited to collaborate with Gamefam and continue to expand our exciting football gaming portfolio,” said Christian Volk, director, Gaming and Esports at FIFA, in a press release. The platform-wide event will bring FIFA World Cup 2026 content into six of Gamefam’s Roblox experiences, including some of the platform’s biggest franchises. The six unique games, which record a cumulative 28 million gameplay sessions per week, were selected to reach different audiences with wide-ranging interests. “The FIFA World Cup is one of the few moments where the entire world comes together – across countries, cultures and languages – and Roblox gives that global audience a shared language of play and community,” said Ricardo Briceno, CEO of Gamefam, in the same press release. “As the action unfolds on the pitch, Gen Z and Alpha fans will come together across Roblox to participate in the action, represent their nations, and celebrate with friends in real time. That’s what makes immersive gaming so powerful: it turns global tentpole moments from passive to participatory, at massive scale.” The FIFA World Cup 2026 event across Roblox will begin on Friday, June 5, 2026 and run through Friday, July 31, 2026. While the event will conclude, FIFA Super Soccer will continue to be live operated as the home of soccer on Roblox. Fans across the world can join the action across these six games on Roblox for free on consoles, PCs, mobile, and tablets.
