The FIFA Rivals release date has come and gone, but if you're looking for more details on the mobile soccer simulator from FIFA and Mythical, you're in the right place. We've got more information surrounding the game, including what platforms it's available on and what you can expect from the gameplay.

There's no lack of football games (or soccer games), but this one substitutes realism for wacky on-field shenanigans, including ridiculous overhead kicks and flaming strikes. You don't get that sort of action at the World Cup (though we kind of wish you did).

When was the FIFA Rivals release date?

FIFA Rivals was released on June 12, 2025, for Android and iOS devices. That means you can now download the soccer simulator via either the Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iPad and iPhone.

Is there a FIFA Rivals trailer?

Yes, there is a FIFA Rivals trailer; in fact, there are a few, but the one below offers the best look at the gameplay and visuals. If you're expecting soccer realism akin to the FC or FM games, this isn't it. Still, it looks like a pretty fun arcade version of the popular sport.

What is FIFA Rivals?

As we've already alluded to, FIFA Rivals is an arcade-style soccer game. It's pretty similar to NFL Rivals in that it combines a real-world sport with zany mechanics - imagine, if you will, Messi blasting in a literal fireball of a shot from just past the halfway line. No matter whether you're a hardcore football fan or just a casual fan, it's definitely worth checking out.
