Manchester City x EA SPORTS FC 2025/26 Kit

Premier League powerhouse Manchester City has introduced a 2025/26 special-edition kit, developed in partnership with PUMA and EA SPORTS FC, featuring technology that bridges physical apparel and digital gaming experiences. The new City jersey incorporates an NFC chip embedded within the club crest, marking a notable advancement in interactive football merchandise.

The NFC technology enables fans to tap their smartphones against the kit’s crest to access exclusive digital content within EA SPORTS FC 26, along with additional material from the collaborating partners. This functionality transforms the jersey from traditional supporter wear into an interactive platform, allowing owners to unlock in-game content and special features through their physical purchase.

The Manchester City 25/26 PUMA fourth kit’s visual design centers on triangular motifs, which reference both EA SPORTS FC’s brand identity and Manchester City’s playing philosophy. The jersey features a dark forest green base complemented by turquoise and metallic triangular patterns throughout. Design elements include a light green crew neck collar, metallic PUMA branding, and a metallic club crest housing the visible NFC chip. The color palette draws from EA SPORTS FC’s signature green aesthetic while maintaining Manchester City’s visual identity.

Within EA SPORTS FC 26, the Man City kit becomes available on October 24th in Kick Off, Career, and Club modes. The kit will appear in Football Ultimate Team (FUT) from November 19th through January 19th, accessible exclusively through grants rather than standard acquisition methods. This limited-time availability in FUT creates a defined window for players to obtain the special-edition kit within the game.

The Manchester City men’s first team will wear the EA SPORTS x PUMA 2025/26 kit during select UEFA Champions League away fixtures, with its first appearance scheduled for the October 21st match against Villarreal. The women’s team will feature the kit in various domestic fixtures throughout the season, giving both squads opportunities to showcase the design in competitive play.
