EA Sports FC 26 is just around the corner. Formerly known as FIFA, EA FC is the leading soccer video game on the market, and it has players from across the globe.
Ever since FIFA 16, which was released in 2015, EA has included women's soccer teams in the game. In the introduction year, players could choose from 12 national teams.
It has since come a long way, and women are far better represented in the video game now.
Today, EA Sports is revealing its player ratings for FC 26. It remains to be seen how fast the game rolls out the player ratings, but the top 32 teams in both the men's and women's game have been announced.
Of the top 32 teams in women's soccer, the NWSL has a pretty good showing. Four NWSL teams made the top 32 teams list, and fans won't be surprised to see the NWSL-leaders representing the league on the international stage.
The 4 highest rated NWSL teams in EA Sports FC 26
1. Kansas City Current
The current table-toppers Kansas City Current, who have lost just two games and drawn one all season, are the highest rated NWSL team in FC 26, according to Sports Illustrated.
They are 11th in the world, and boast a near-perfect four-and-a-half-star rating. Their star rating is identical to Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Man City, Wolfsburg and Man United.
Kansas City Current has zero NWSL championships, but they were only founded in 2020. There is every likelihood they will be crowned the champions this year.
2. Washington Spirit
Not far behind Kansas City Current in the current NWSL standings is Washington Spirit.
NWSL finalists in 2024, the Washington Spirit didn't achieve the same star rating as Kansas City Current. The Spirit is graded at four stars in the game, and ranked 12th in the World according to Sports Illustrated.
Look, any side that has Trinity Rodman as one of the star players is a side that's worth paying attention to. Rodman is one of the best soccer players in the world, so she'll be great to play as yet again in this FC 26.
3. Gotham FC
Gotham FC is a club that went through two different periods, and the first was a complete juxtaposition to the second. Launching as Jersey Sky Blue almost 20 years ago, the club struggled to compete at a high level and faced plenty of off-field issues.
Then, rebranding as Gotham FC in 2021, paying homage to Batman's City, something just clicked for the club. Now, they are at the height of the women's game, and it shows in their FC 26 rating. Like the Spirit, Gotham is rated four stars.
4. Orlando Pride
After winning the domestic double in 2024, it really is no surprise to see Orlando Pride spoken about in the same breath as some of the world's best clubs. Like the Spirit and Gotham, the Pride boats four stars in FC 26.
The GOAT, Marta, plays for Orlando Pride. This says everything you need to know, and why you should play as Orlando Pride in FC 26 kickoff.
Fans of Orlando Pride will be the first to admit that the virtual version of the Pride is bound to be easier to tolerate than the real version of the Pride, who have been struck by an injury crisis and general poor form so far.
