The EA Sports FC 25 soundtrack has dropped: the time is nearly here for the new game to be released - and you can whet your appetite for the new annual instalment of the football sim by listening to the new tunes on the game.
Big names like Billie Eilish, Charlie xcx, Catfish and the Bottlemen, and Coldplay sit alongside a load of critically acclaimed acts like St Vincent, Anderson .paak, Fontaines D.C., and Sheffield Wednesday fan Self Esteem.
The new game, which has the FIFA series as its lineage and which we will all continue to refer to as FIFA even if they would prefer we didn't, will be available on early access from September 20 and on general release from September 27.

EA Sports FC 25 soundtrack unveiled
EA have continued to cast their net to a wider array of global artists, including reggaeton star J Balvin, Japanese drill rapper JUMADBA, Afrobeat arist Obongjayer, Spanish rockers Hinds, Polish rapper MATA, and jungle musician Nia Archives.
The soundtrack is available to listen to on Spotify now, with the exception of a handful of songs including currently-unreleased tracks by Coldplay (amazing and nonsensically described as 'the sixth most awarded band ever' in EA's press release), FKA Twigs, Delfina Dib, Catfish and the Bottlemen and more. The Spotify track listing is below
FIFA and latterly the EA FC series has a rich history of providing era-appropriate soundtracks, going from Blur soundtracking FIFA 98 all the way through Robbie Williams' appearance on FIFA 2000, and up to the present day with Bad Bunny, Little Simz and Stormzy.
The series goes all the way back to the original FIFA International Soccer, which came out on the Mega Drive in 1993.
Real Madrid and England star Jude Bellingham is the cover star for this year's version, with the Ultimate Edition also featuring Aitana Bonmati, David Beckham, Zinedine ZIdane and Gianluigi Buffon.
