Joy Nice Games is preparing to launch a new mobile football simulator, Kickoff Football 2026, for iOS and Android. The game is scheduled for release on June 5, 2026, according to listings in app stores.
Pre-registration is already available in selected regions, including the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Canada. Players who register early will receive rewards such as 77 free draw attempts and a special Kylian Mbappé card rated OVR 90.
The game will launch with an official FIFPro license, giving access to over 60,000 real football players. Thanks to a major partnership with the French national team, Kylian Mbappé will serve as the main face of the title.
The developers are focusing on competitive gameplay and a seasonal progression system, where all users start from scratch at launch and climb the rankings on equal footing.
Kickoff Football 2026 will feature eight game modes, including ranked matches, a manager mode, and Peak Weekly. Players will be able to compete in real-time 1v1 matches. The control system will support deep customization, allowing up to 12 on-screen buttons and a separate wheel for technical skills.
The title is set to debut during the summer football season and ahead of heightened World Cup interest, increasing competition in the mobile football market alongside FC Mobile, eFootball, Dream League Soccer, and UFL.
