Pixel meets pitch.
Manchester City, in collaboration with EA Sports FC and Puma, have stepped into a new era of kit design – one where digital identity and on pitch performance collide. A first of its kind embodying how the modern game continues to evolve beyond the pitch.
The fourth kit it was created to celebrate Manchester City’s partnership with EA and marks the next step in blending football’s digital and real-world ecosystems. The design takes cues from in game visuals seen in FC26, with graphics that reflect speed, fluidity and energy of the clubs playing style.
Inspired by the FC franchises light green logos, and neon detailing – but the most revolutionary feature lies beneath the crest. Embedded inside is an NFC chip, allowing fans to tap the badge with their smartphone to unlock exclusive EA Sports FC26 content – letting fans access in-game experiences, behind the scenes content and potential real-world rewards.
“We wanted to create something that merges football culture with digital interactivity. This shirt becomes an extension of the club itself — both on the pitch and in the palm of your hand.”
The Manchester City x EA Sports FC Fourth Kit is available now via mancity.com, PUMA, and select global retailers. Fans can also access the digital version in EA Sports FC 26 starting this week.
