Every new season of eFootball brings a refreshed soundtrack, mixing licensed tracks from artists across pop, hip-hop, and K-pop with an original instrumental score built specifically for the game’s menus and match presentation. eFootball 2026 continues that tradition with a genuinely wide-ranging playlist. Here’s a look at what’s actually playing while you build your squad and take to the pitch this season.
The Licensed Soundtrack
The main eFootball 2026 soundtrack runs 25 tracks and pulls from a broad mix of genres and regions rather than sticking to one sound. Standout inclusions on the list include “No Bad Energy” by Miraa May, “Walk” by K-pop group NCT 127, “Real Love” by Childish Gambino, and “Make It All Right” by The Offspring, alongside tracks from Balming Tiger, Circa Waves, and Jayda G. Fan reaction has singled out “No Bad Energy” in particular as one of the season’s most popular additions, showing up repeatedly in community rankings and playlists.
The mix reflects Konami’s usual approach with eFootball’s soundtrack — pulling in artists with genuine international reach across K-pop, alternative rock, electronic, and hip-hop, rather than leaning on a single dominant genre. That variety tends to be one of the more talked-about parts of each new season among the game’s community, alongside the actual roster and gameplay updates.
The Original Score
Separate from the licensed playlist, eFootball 2026 also ships with its own original instrumental soundtrack, credited to the in-house eFootball Sound Team and released under the title “eFootball Kick-Off! (Original Soundtrack).” This 21-track collection covers the game’s menu music and presentation themes, including multiple Victory Anthem tracks for International Cup and World Tour modes, along with menu themes and match-specific pieces. Notably, the collection also includes a “Credits 01” track drawing on the Pro Evolution Soccer 6 lineage, a small nod to the franchise’s history under its earlier PES branding.
Not to Be Confused With the FIFA World Cup Soundtrack
It’s worth noting that eFootball’s soundtrack is entirely separate from the official 2026 FIFA World Cup Official Album, a different compilation tied to the tournament itself rather than the eFootball game. That album features major names like Shakira and Burna Goy on the tournament’s official song, plus contributions from Future, Tyla, Lisa, Anitta, Rema, Daddy Yankee, and Shenseea. The two soundtracks are often confused online given how closely they overlap in timing and subject matter, but they’re produced independently — one by Konami’s sound team for the eFootball game, the other by FIFA Sound for the World Cup tournament itself.
