It's been a great year for EA FC 24, with solid gameplay and a long string of brilliant promos. The rebranding from FIFA didn't restrict the top football sim in the slightest.

But now it's time for the next in the series to take its place.

Rumours about FC 25 have been rife for a long time, but now the people at the top have spoken.

Not only have we had a full reveal, but the box art for both the Standard and Ultimate editions have been released.

Wondering who the cover star is? Let's take a look.

Who is on the FC 25 cover?

So, who is the cover star (and, we suppose, the face of) EA FC 25?

It's none other than current man of the hour, Jude Bellingham. Check out the cover below.

David Jackson, VP brand at EA Sports FC, had the following to say: "Jude is the perfect ambassador for EA Sports FC.

"He aligns strongly with our future; as we move from product to platform, transcending the sport at the intersection of football, culture and entertainment, and we're thrilled to welcome him as this year’s EA Sports FC cover star."

Who is on the FC 25 Ultimate Edition cover?

The cover for the Ultimate Edition was revealed on the official X page on 15th July 2024.

Along with the image, the post had the following text: "Defined by silverware delivered for the club. Presenting the #FC25 Ultimate Edition Cover, featuring @GianluigiBuffon, @AitanaBonmati, @BellinghamJude, Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham."

Check out the post below:

The image features Gianluigi Buffon, Aitana Bonmatí, Jude Bellingham, Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham posing in a trophy room.

Bellingham is therefore this year's cover star for both editions, being positioned at the centre and front of the picture.

When was the full reveal for FC 25?

At the bottom of the post on X, after the list of featured footballers, it said, "See the full Reveal July 17," before a link to a YouTube page.
