The Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has partnered with Mythical Games to launch FIFA Rivals, a free-to-play mobile game set to hit iOS and Android devices in the summer of 2025.
Mythical Games said that players will have the opportunity to assemble and manage their own soccer squads while challenging opponents in real-time gameplay in FIFA Rivals.
With a proven track record in the gaming space, Mythical Games has high hopes for FIFA Rivals. CEO John Linden believes the game could attract over 100 million players, a target inspired by the success of NFL Rivals, which has already amassed over six million players despite appealing to a much smaller audience.

Linden’s optimism is supported by soccer's global appeal—highlighted by the 5 billion viewers who tuned into the FIFA World Cup in 2022, compared to the 500 million who watched the NFL playoffs.
At its core, FIFA Rivals will operate on the Mythos
Mythos Foundation, launched by Mythical Games in 2022, has played a critical role in bringing FIFA Rivals to life. Its mission extends beyond a single game, aiming to enhance the gaming ecosystem by providing tools and infrastructure for developers, supporting gaming guilds, and growing cross-chain collaboration.
